The South Carolina Department of Archives and History in conjunction with the State Government Records Advisory Council has developed a set of criteria to help you create and maintain trustworthy information systems.
Why
would you want to use the TIS?
The
Trustworthy Information System Handbook can help verify that a system
produces information and records which are authentic, reliable, and have integrity.
Reliable and authentic government information and records are extremely important for these reasons:
They facilitate government business
They demonstrate government accountability
They serve as evidence of government activity for current and future users of the information.
The TIS Handbook is in three parts
in Adobe Acrobat PDF format*.
There are links within
each file to help you navigate better.
