Damage to or Loss of State Records
State organisations must report to the SRO any damage to or loss of the physical or digital State records in their custody.
Physical (hard copy) records may be destroyed or irreparably damaged due to fire, flood, mould or pests. Digital records may be accidentally deleted or lost because of cyber incidents or system failures. Organisations must report these incidents to the SRO, whether they occurred intentionally or accidentally.
