Introduction
A cloud service refers to capabilities offered via cloud computing where users can borrow, to use
flexibly, physical or virtual resources which include software and platform, as well as computing
infrastructure, such as data storage and computing servers. The cloud service offers benefits, such as
dynamic scalability, enhanced organizational agility, resilience and cost reduction, enabling improved
organizational competitiveness and efficiency. Cloud services are emerging as an essential aspect of
information technology due to location-independent resource sharing, availability via the Internet and
mobile devices, and the ability to deliver on-demand services and lower costs.
Currently, the explosive growth of digital content through mobile platforms and the Internet of things
is driving organizations to move their computing systems and information assets to the cloud. As a
result, a number of companies and government organizations have shifted their business systems to
cloud services, and many other organizations are planning to adopt cloud services. In the near future, it
is expected that most data will be processed and stored in cloud services.
Cloud services might prove to be an alternative for organizations that are reluctant to invest in
establishing their own computer systems for digital records management. Cloud services can provide
the software, hardware, and platform needed to implement a system for records at an affordable price.
It is often not easy for an organization to implement a system for records that meets all the criteria set
out in ISO 15489-1. If there is a cloud service that satisfies all the criteria set out in ISO 15489-1 and
which is provided at a low price, organizations have good reasons to consider using the cloud service.
However, organizations can be reluctant to adopt cloud services for their records management due
to unknown risks, safety and privacy concerns, and an absence of convincing use cases. While the
advantages of cloud services are well-advertised, awareness of the risks and issues that should be taken
into account in a records management context is often lacking.
Cloud services are based on the concept of borrowing computing resources provided by third
parties. The functions, processes or architectures inside the cloud are not disclosed externally. Even
if a customer agrees with a cloud service provider about their requirements, it is difficult to know
in advance whether their requirements can be met. In particular, it can be very difficult for general-
purpose cloud services to fully satisfy the requirements of the records management process. There are
various types of cloud services according, each of which offers different capabilities. In order to apply a
cloud service to the records management task, the customer could select a cloud service that is suitable
for the characteristics of the records management. The customer also to understands the general
characteristics of cloud services. Otherwise, there is a possibility that desired records management
outcomes will not be able to be delivered after adopting a cloud service.
In addition, in the case of large cloud services, cloud systems can be distributed around the world
transcending national borders. Users from various countries or regional communities can share a cloud
service belonging to a particular country. These characteristics of the cloud can cause various conflicts
and issues because the jurisdictional structure and social environment of the country where the cloud
service provider belongs is different from those of the cloud users. As a result, cloud users can be faced
with unexpected risks associated with immature legal and social agreements for cloud technology.
Therefore, when records managers introduce cloud services to records management, they should
consider the legal and social aspects as well as the technical aspects in advance in order to prepare for
potential risks. Records managers can provide cloud service providers with prerequisites for managing
risks, specified in contracts to reduce the probability of risks coming to fruition. This document aims
to provide guidelines for persons and organizations who are intend to adopt cloud services for records
management.

4.1 General
The cloud stakeholder model in this document is borrowed from the service model provided by
ISO/IEC 17788, and extends it to the records management domain. A cloud records management service
customer is a party that enters a business relationship with a cloud records management service
provider for the purpose of using cloud records management services. A cloud records management
service provider is a party that makes cloud records management services available. A cloud records
management service partner is a party that is engaged in support of, or as auxiliary to, activities of
either the cloud records management service provider or the cloud records management service
customer, or both.

4.2 Cloud records management service customer
4.2.1 General
Cloud records management service customers use cloud services to produce, transmit, maintain, and
dispose of digital records and metadata. Customers strive to negotiate records management policies
and procedures with cloud service providers on prior to entering the service contract. Customers can
have cloud SLA contracts with cloud service providers to ensure confidence in the quality of records
management.
Customers can be divided into several entities (individuals, teams, organizations) based on their
records management role internally as follows:
— cloud records producer;
— cloud records manager;
— cloud records user.
4.2.2 Cloud records producer
Cloud records producers use cloud records management services to produce reliable records. This
means that the cloud records producer ensures the authenticity, integrity, and reliability of the records
by means of a cloud service. Cloud records producers inspect the records they write and verify that the
records are stored in the cloud service without compromising their attributes.

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
SIST-TP ISO/TR 22428-1:2021
ISO/TR 22428-1:2020(E)
When creating a record, cloud records producers are able to generate metadata that includes business
context and verify that the metadata are generated without distortion. Cloud records producers is
responsible for verifying that metadata are registered and preserved at a cloud service.
4.2.3 Cloud records manager
Cloud records managers have the responsibility of managing the records of their organization using
cloud records management services. The cloud records manager leverages cloud services to perform
administrative tasks such as registration and preservation of records, migration and conversion,
search/query requests, verification of records integrity, and user authentication. The cloud records
manager is expected to be familiar with the data management policies of the cloud service provider
before using the cloud service, and consult with the cloud service provider if necessary.
The cloud records manager is responsible for reviewing the cloud service, ensuring that all requirements
that arise from business and stakeholder expectations and the organization’s regulatory environment
can be met. The cloud records manager is responsible for inspecting the cloud service to see whether
there are any constraints or problems in the functionalities by which records are created, registered,
preserved, retrieved, browsed, and destructed.
When constraints are required for records management in the cloud, cloud records managers can
establish records management policies and procedures for those constraints, and may make specific
demands from cloud service providers as needed. For example, a cloud records manager may require
a private cloud service provider to store records in a separate repository. The cloud records manager
may ask the cloud service provider for access control policy on the records.
The cloud records manager manages access to records by setting the access level of each cloud records
and specifying the access rights of cloud records users. The access rights of cloud records users are
specified depending on their role, seniority, security clearance, location, etc.
The cloud records manager periodically monitors the registration and classification of records, their
preservation status, and security mechanisms. Cloud records managers can maintain records stability
and security quality beyond a certai

establishing their own computer systems for digital records management. Cloud services can provide
the software, hardware, and platform needed to implement a system for records at an affordable price.
It is often not easy for an organization to implement a system for records that meets all the criteria set
out in ISO 15489-1. If there is a cloud service that satisfies all the criteria set out in ISO 15489-1 and
which is provided at a low price, organizations have good reasons to consider using the cloud service.
However, organizations can be reluctant to adopt cloud services for their records management due
to unknown risks, safety and privacy concerns, and an absence of convincing use cases. While the
advantages of cloud services are well-advertised, awareness of the risks and issues that should be taken
into account in a records management context is often lacking.
Cloud services are based on the concept of borrowing computing resources provided by third
parties. The functions, processes or architectures inside the cloud are not disclosed externally. Even
if a customer agrees with a cloud service provider about their requirements, it is difficult to know
in advance whether their requirements can be met. In particular, it can be very difficult for general-
purpose cloud services to fully satisfy the requirements of the records management process. There are
various types of cloud services according, each of which offers different capabilities. In order to apply a
cloud service to the records management task, the customer could select a cloud service that is suitable
for the characteristics of the records management. The customer also to understands the general
characteristics of cloud services. Otherwise, there is a possibility that desired records management
outcomes will not be able to be delivered after adopting a cloud service.
In addition, in the case of large cloud services, cloud systems can be distributed around the world
transcending national borders. Users from various countries or regional communities can share a cloud
service belonging to a particular country. These characteristics of the cloud can cause various conflicts
and issues because the jurisdictional structure and social environment of the country where the cloud
service provider belongs is different from those of the cloud users. As a result, cloud users can be faced
with unexpected risks associated with immature legal and social agreements for cloud technology.
Therefore, when records managers introduce cloud services to records management, they should
consider the legal and social aspects as well as the technical aspects in advance in order to prepare for
potential risks. Records managers can provide cloud service providers with prerequisites for managing
risks, specified in contracts to reduce the probability of risks coming to fruition. This document aims
to provide guidelines for persons and organizations who are intend to adopt cloud services for records
management.

4 Stakeholder model
4.1 General
The cloud stakeholder model in this document is borrowed from the service model provided by
ISO/IEC 17788, and extends it to the records management domain. A cloud records management service
customer is a party that enters a business relationship with a cloud records management service
provider for the purpose of using cloud records management services. A cloud records management
service provider is a party that makes cloud records management services available. A cloud records
management service partner is a party that is engaged in support of, or as auxiliary to, activities of
either the cloud records management service provider or the cloud records management service
customer, or both.

Figure 1 — Cloud records management stakeholder model
4.2 Cloud records management service customer
4.2.1 General
Cloud records management service customers use cloud services to produce, transmit, maintain, and
dispose of digital records and metadata. Customers strive to negotiate records management policies
and procedures with cloud service providers on prior to entering the service contract. Customers can
have cloud SLA contracts with cloud service providers to ensure confidence in the quality of records
management.
Customers can be divided into several entities (individuals, teams, organizations) based on their
records management role internally as follows:
— cloud records producer;
— cloud records manager;
— cloud records user.
4.2.2 Cloud records producer
Cloud records producers use cloud records management services to produce reliable records. This
means that the cloud records producer ensures the authenticity, integrity, and reliability of the records
by means of a cloud service. Cloud records producers inspect the records they write and verify that the
records are stored in the cloud service without compromising their attributes.
© ISO 2020 – All rights reserved 5
---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
ISO/TR 22428-1:2020(E)
When creating a record, cloud records producers are able to generate metadata that includes business
context and verify that the metadata are generated without distortion. Cloud records producers is
responsible for verifying that metadata are registered and preserved at a cloud service.
4.2.3 Cloud records manager
Cloud records managers have the responsibility of managing the records of their organization using
cloud records management services. The cloud records manager leverages cloud services to perform
administrative tasks such as registration and preservation of records, migration and conversion,
search/query requests, verification of records integrity, and user authentication. The cloud records
manager is expected to be familiar with the data management policies of the cloud service provider
before using the cloud service, and consult with the cloud service provider if necessary.
The cloud records manager is responsible for reviewing the cloud service, ensuring that all requirements
that arise from business and stakeholder expectations and the organization’s regulatory environment
can be met. The cloud records manager is responsible for inspecting the cloud service to see whether
there are any constraints or problems in the functionalities by which records are created, registered,
preserved, retrieved, browsed, and destructed.
When constraints are required for records management in the cloud, cloud records managers can
establish records management policies and procedures for those constraints, and may make specific
demands from cloud service providers as needed. For example, a cloud records manager may require
a private cloud service provider to store records in a separate repository. The cloud records manager
may ask the cloud service provider for access control policy on the records.
The cloud records manager manages access to records by setting the access level of each cloud records
and specifying the access rights of cloud records users. The access rights of cloud records users are
specified depending on their role, seniority, security clearance, location, etc.
The cloud records manager periodically monitors the registration and classification of records, their
preservation status, and security mechanisms. Cloud records managers can maintain records stability
and security quality beyond a certain level through the cloud SLA contract with a cloud service provider.
In addition, the cloud records manager establishes a disaster recovery plan in advance with the cloud
service provider in order to resolve any potential problem related to records within the cloud service.
4.2.4 Cloud records user
A cloud records user is an entity (such as an individual, team, or organization) that searches, accesses,
or browses records through cloud services. Cloud records users are authenticated to cloud service
providers before they use records. Cloud records users' authorization to access to cloud records is
managed by the cloud records manager.
4.3 Cloud records management service provider
4.3.1 General
Cloud service providers are classified as IaaS providers, PaaS providers, and SaaS providers, depending
on the capabilities they provide, and have the roles and responsibilities necessary to perform secure
and reliable digital records management.
4.3.2 Records management SaaS provider
A records management SaaS provider is a party that provides application services for records

Introduction
A cloud service refers to capabilities offered via cloud computing where users can borrow, to use
flexibly, physical or virtual resources which include software and platform, as well as computing
infrastructure, such as data storage and computing servers. The cloud service offers benefits, such as
dynamic scalability, enhanced organizational agility, resilience and cost reduction, enabling improved
organizational competitiveness and efficiency. Cloud services are emerging as an essential aspect of
information technology due to location-independent resource sharing, availability via the Internet and
mobile devices, and the ability to deliver on-demand services and lower costs.
Currently, the explosive growth of digital content through mobile platforms and the Internet of things
is driving organizations to move their computing systems and information assets to the cloud. As a
result, a number of companies and government organizations have shifted their business systems to
cloud services, and many other organizations are planning to adopt cloud services. In the near future, it
is expected that most data will be processed and stored in cloud services.
Cloud services might prove to be an alternative for organizations that are reluctant to invest in
establishing their own computer systems for digital records management. Cloud services can provide
the software, hardware, and platform needed to implement a system for records at an affordable price.
It is often not easy for an organization to implement a system for records that meets all the criteria set

to unknown risks, safety and privacy concerns, and an absence of convincing use cases. While the
advantages of cloud services are well-advertised, awareness of the risks and issues that should be taken

Cloud services are based on the concept of borrowing computing resources provided by third

4 Stakeholder model
4.1 General
The cloud stakeholder model in this document is borrowed from the service model provided by
ISO/IEC 17788, and extends it to the records management domain. A cloud records management service
customer is a party that enters a business relationship with a cloud records management service
provider for the purpose of using cloud records management services. A cloud records management
service provider is a party that makes cloud records management services available. A cloud records
management service partner is a party that is engaged in support of, or as auxiliary to, activities of
either the cloud records management service provider or the cloud records management service
customer, or both.

records management role internally as follows:
— cloud records producer;
— cloud records manager;

When creating a record, cloud records producers are able to generate metadata that includes business
context and verify that the metadata are generated without distortion. Cloud records producers is
responsible for verifying that metadata are registered and preserved at a cloud service.
4.2.3 Cloud records manager
Cloud records managers have the responsibility of managing the records of their organization using
cloud records management services. The cloud records manager leverages cloud services to perform
administrative tasks such as registration and preservation of records, migration and conversion,
search/query requests, verification of records integrity, and user authentication. The cloud records
manager is expected to be familiar with the data management policies of the cloud service provider
before using the cloud service, and consult with the cloud service provider if necessary.
The cloud records manager is responsible for reviewing the cloud service, ensuring that all requirements
that arise from business and stakeholder expectations and the organization’s regulatory environment
can be met. The cloud records manager is responsible for inspecting the cloud service to see whether
there are any constraints or problems in the functionalities by which records are created, registered,
preserved, retrieved, browsed, and destructed.
When constraints are required for records management in the cloud, cloud records managers can
establish records management policies and procedures for those constraints, and may make specific
demands from cloud service providers as needed. For example, a cloud records manager may require
a private cloud service provider to store records in a separate repository. The cloud records manager
may ask the cloud service provider for access control policy on the records.
The cloud records manager manages access to records by setting the access level of each cloud records
and specifying the access rights of cloud records users. The access rights of cloud records users are
specified depending on their role, seniority, security clearance, location, etc.
The cloud records manager periodically monitors the registration and classification of records, their
preservation status, and security mechanisms. Cloud records managers can maintain records stability
and security quality beyond a certain level through the cloud SLA contract with a cloud service provider.
In addition, the cloud records manager establishes a disaster recovery plan in advance with the cloud
service provider in order to resolve any potential problem related to records within the cloud service.
4.2.4 Cloud records user
A cloud records user is an entity (such as an individual, team, or organization) that searches, accesses,
or browses records through cloud services. Cloud records users are authenticated to cloud service
providers before they use records. Cloud records users' authorization to access to cloud records is
managed by the cloud records manager.
