For many organisations, deciding on what documents to archive is a headache. We talked in a recent blog about the importance of having a document retention schedule, so that all staff know how long and why to keep records. Of course, there are some documents which only need to be accessed once in a while. But what about documents which you need to access regularly or even daily? It might seem at first glance that offsite storage is not an option. But here’s where CAS’s live file storage service comes in to its own.
Live file storage, the best of off-site storage
With live file storage our clients can solve the problem of how to work remotely with regularly used documents. It allows our clients to store their documents offsite but to work with them on a continuing basis through secure online access. With our fully hosted live-file storage system, records that are in constant use can be retrieved, updated and returned to storage 24/7.
All of our clients’ needs are different, and we pride ourselves on catering to your specific requirements. We offer maximum flexibility and ease of access to your files. Authorised personnel can access records remotely from anywhere in the UK. This is delivered by an advanced and totally secure, password-protected online portal. CAS’s online file storage system also comes with customised search criteria.
Securely stored and readily available documents
We’re hugely proud of the level of security which we maintain at all our off-site storage services. After all, we know how important it is that your documents are safe. Our storage facilities have gated perimeter fences, 24/7 security patrols and advanced CCTV. We control entry to the warehouses within these facilities with vandal-proof fingerprint access terminals. And we’ve fitted environmental controls and advanced fire protection systems throughout each of our warehouse facilities.
What’s more, we perform background checks on all CAS document-handling and security staff. We utilise the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, formerly the Criminal Records Bureau or CRB) to ensure our staff are the best. They can quickly and accurately locate your documents wherever they are in our warehouses, whenever you need them. And they know the importance of ensuring that you meet all your data protection requirements. We’re fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and can help make sure all our clients are too.

Live file storage fits neatly with other CAS services
As well as live file storage, CAS has a suite of document archiving and storage services. With scanning-on-demand, you can be even more efficient about only creating digital copies of the documents which you need on a regular basis. Meanwhile, for a more comprehensive secure document management system, CAS-Cloud allows global access to documents, and easy file-sharing between users.
