Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining, and disposing of records in the system:

Storage:

Paper file folders and electronic storage media.

Retrievability:

Records are retrieved by name, organization, mission essential status, emergency relocation group status, telework status or emergency operations duty officer/member status.

Safeguards:

Electronic records are maintained in password-protected network and accessible only to DeCA personnel, management, and administrative support personnel on a need-to-know basis to perform their duties. Access to the network where records are maintained requires a valid Common Access Card (CAC). Electronic files and databases are password protected with access restricted to authorized users. Paper records are secured in locked cabinets, offices, or buildings during non-duty hours. The same security standards currently applied to individually issued CAC cards are applicable to paper compilations limited to a particular organization issued to individual supervisors, managers and employees of that organization.

Retention and disposal:

Records are destroyed upon termination/departure of DeCA personnel or when superseded. Electronic records are manually deleted from the agency virtual file cabinet under the supervision of agency records managers upon supersession of the record. Paper records are shredded using a cross-cut shredder that reduces the records to confetti form or better upon supersession of the record.
