Trustworthy Information Systems Handbook

Acknowledgements

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.
