The British Academy for Training and Development offers a training course on records, documents and information security. It is presented to whoever desires to acquire the skill in information systems management and records and documents security.

Information systems, databases, and communication networks have become the backbone of the world when it comes to knowledge, finance, health, industry and other life sectors. It has become very important to maintain information security, using three main elements which are correctness, continuity, and integrity. Keeping the information safe is not the only important thing, but protecting them from forgery or any change that could happen after publishing. Any organization may announce financial information or other information that is related to the organization itself, and here comes the role of information security which protects the information and records from any change or forgery. For example, the ministries or universities announcement of the admitted applicants, protection here includes the lists to be secured against any change or forgery that may delete names or add names that do not originally exist. This would cause legal problems to the institutions.  This is in addition to harming the information related to financial issues like changing sums of funds from any value to another higher value. That is why it is necessary to protect information and records according to information security systems.

The last decade of the twentieth century has witnessed several developments in the field of Information Technology and Communication. These modern developments in networking have given institutions the chance to link their departments together using a unified system, no matter how far the distance between them is. They mainly depend on the recent developments witnessed by the methods of creating, saving and exchanging electronic sheets. It also affects the easiness of transferring messages, records, and software to any location linked to network around the world. This has lead a great deal of public and private institutions to use international communication networks. Consequently, the spread of these new methods has helped in using electronic records by public and private institutions without having any hard copies for them, which means that all the work is done electronically.
