What are the risks of government information not being accessible and sustainable? It should specifically be findable, available, readable, interpretable, reliable, and future-proof. The National Archives (NA) has released a new DUTO risk assessment guide to clarify these concerns.
DUTO is short for Duurzaam Toegankelijke Overheidsinformatie, or Sustainable Accessible Government Information in English. The DUTO guide helps information professionals carry out a risk assessment within their organisation. This includes risks relating to business operations, finance, compliance with laws and regulations, and services to citizens and businesses.

A quick scan offers a broad overview of the key risks. Following a step-by-step plan allows for a more detailed assessment. The result is a report that outlines the risks, their severity, and possible solutions.
Would you like to discuss the risks that arise? The guide also offers tips for having these discussions, enabling you to collaborate on improvements.
