Description: Digital records present unique challenges for corporations wishing to implement records management systems in order to minimize exposure to risk while enhancing business operations. Internet Service Providers ("ISPs") face considerable challenges when it comes to digital records management due to the large volume of externally generated data that flows across ISPs' networks. Due to the recent rise in global terrorism as well as the burgeoning problem of cybercrime, governments around the world are seeking to harmonize efforts at collecting data that passes over ISP networks and share that information between countries. The government of Canada is looking to harmonize Canadian law to give effect to these international efforts. In light of this, Canadian ISPs must ascertain what constitutes a best practice for the collection and retention of personal information in light of the existing legal framework and with an eye on what is being proposed by the Canadian Government.
