BS 10008 Electronic Information Management for SMEs

BS 10008 is the British Standard that outlines best practice for the management and storage of electronic information in any business of any size. It is designed to help you verify and authenticate all your information to avoid the legal pitfalls of its storage. BS 10008 outlines best practice for managing the availability and accessibility of any digital records that could be required as legal evidence. 

Small businesses that work with us can achieve the same levels of electronic information management as larger companies. We know that you may have tighter budgets and less time to invest in BS 10008 – but we also know how to overcome these obstacles to achieve the right standard of information transfer, verification and storage. We provide services that can be packaged and customized to overcome your specific challenges.  Work with us and we can show you how BS 10008 helps make authenticating and protecting your records straightforward. And you’ll see how this is a long-term investment that can support you through the migration of your paper records to digital format and technology upgrades. Regardless of the size or nature of your business, BS 10008 will help you demonstrate the integrity of your information when it counts. 

We’re open to suggestions for new standards and take these to consultation with industry associations or equivalent organizations. We make sure we get the standards right by working with representatives from consumer organizations; professional institutions; certification, testing and inspection bodies; educational establishments; research organizations; UK notified bodies; enforcement bodies; and government departments.

We pioneered standards more than 100 years ago and today we’re the market leader. We help over 80,000 clients ranging from top global brands to small ambitious businesses in 182 countries worldwide to gain an edge over their competition. As one of the few organizations that understands standards from start to finish, we don’t only assess how well you’re meeting them, we create new standards from scratch and train teams globally to use them and perform better. Our knowledge can transform your organization.
