Disposition of information resources refers to which activity?

• A. The final handling of information resources, including decommissioning or archiving.
• B. Daily data entry tasks.
• C. Routine software updates.
• D. User onboarding processes.

Answer: (A)

Disposition of information resources is about what happens to records and data when they reach the end of their useful life. It covers the final handling, including archiving for long-term access or decommissioning and secure destruction when retention periods are up. This differs from ongoing tasks like daily data entry, which are part of regular operations, or routine software updates, which are maintenance activities, or onboarding new users who need access. Having a formal disposition process ensures compliance with retention policies and security requirements and provides an auditable end-of-life path for information resources.
