In general, the Archival Repository will only be recognized as reliable if it follows a series of criteria established by the CONARQ resolution itself. Thus, the characteristics that the storage must have are:
- The responsibility for maintaining the materials becomes completely the responsibility of storage, leaving the company's hands;
- Structured in such a way that it allows the business to prosper in the long term, while also maintaining a safe time for sustaining the files;
- Transparency in administrative decisions;
- Transparency of economic situation;
- Sufficient methodologies to assess all systems and ensure reliability;
- Make file auditing and security validation policies available.
Even so, always choosing to hire companies that specialize in the subject is the best choice to ensure the use of the correct software. In this case, we act directly in the choice, adjustment of documentation and direct maintenance in the application.
It is also important to point out that the use of a Trusted Archival Repository does not exclude the need for a Computerized Archival Document Management System, that is, the SIGAD.
