To ensure that all electronic versions of official documents or records (including documents or records converted from hard copy or electronically originated documents or records) are stored and managed in a trusted system as required in Government Code section 12168.7(c), electronic content management systems implemented six months after the adoption of these regulations shall be designed in accordance with section 6.2 Recommended Project Steps and Activities of "AIIM ARP1-2009 Analysis, Selection, and Implementation of Electronic Document Management Systems," approved June 5, 2009, which is incorporated by reference in this section.

All existing electronic content management systems in place prior to six months after the adoption of these regulations should be evaluated to the greatest extent technologically and procedurally possible, and as soon as practicable secure all necessary local and/or state approvals to meet the intent of Government Code section 12168.7 that electronic documents or records be stored in a trusted system as defined in these regulations.
