With increased litigation and concern over identity theft, many companies are being forced by law to develop strict record management policies to manage their records and documents. Identity theft is a serious crime. People whose identities have been stolen can spend months or years – and hard-earned money – cleaning up the mess thieves have made of their good name and credit record.
The great promise of the Information Age also raises new challenges and opportunities for ensuring effective privacy protections. Identity theft is now dubbed “the fastest growing crime of the century.”
