The standardization of Trusted Storage (sometimes referred to as Trusted WORM) along with ean agreed upon defintition on how Trusted Storage sub-systems inter-operate with document and records management technologies began in 2013, in compliance with many governmental and regulatory requirements to ensure information is properly protected.   The Trusted Storage standardization work is being completed by [http://www.iso.org/iso/standards_development/technical_committees/other_bodies/iso_technical_committee.htm?commid=53666 ISO TC/171 SC1/WG8] (ISO 18759).   This International Standard specifies functional and technical requirements associated with Trusted Storage sub-systems that enable organizations, including product suppliers, to develop/configure products and technologies that store and manage content stored in non-alterable environments preventing modification or deletion during the life cycle of the content following organizational policies and procedures. This standard also specifies reporting requirements to ensure that content is no unknowingly altered during its prescribed retention cycle.  The current ISO convenoer for this effort is [http://www.eid-inc.com/robert-blatt/ Mtr. Robert Blatt],US/ANSI Expert to ISO TC/171

Organizations storing digital content or ESI (Electronically Stored Information) as business records have increasing sought guidance on how to design, implement and manage information and content management systems in such a way as to guarantee the reliability, authenticity and integrity of the records contained within the system throughout their entire life  cycles.  In addition to the requirements of normal business purposes, the need to ensure the reliability of records has come from legal mandates in the form of statutes and regulations, as well as well as admissibility standards as relate to legal proceedings.

The ISO 15801 definition of a trusted system contains two elements. The first element is the requirement that any information retrieved from the system can at the time of the retrieval be proven to be accurate, reliable, complete and unspoiled as a record. The second element is that during the life
  cycle of the system itself, it can be proven that the system continues to maintain the integrity of all its records in accord with their retention policies and will continue to do so into the future provided that its normal operating conditions are maintained.  These two elements of the definition of a trusted system correspond to distinct but interconnected legal requirements, such as those developed by courts as regards the admissibility of ESI as evidence into legal proceedings, and those developed by regulators as regards the obligations of both public and private organizations to maintain reliable and accurate records systems for purposes of accountability and transparency.   

The Trusted Storage standard (ISO 18759) for trusted storage environments addresses both these criteria and will therefore provide guidance to organizations seeking to meet diverse legal requirements and mandates as regards the production and management of their electronic records.
