Our Comprehensive Records Management Solutions
Document Control, Security & Compliance — All in One Place
At ISS Relocations, we deliver complete, scalable, and secure records management services to businesses across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and the wider UAE. Whether you’re looking to safeguard sensitive documents, digitize paper archives, or ensure compliance with data protection laws, our services are designed to streamline how your business handles information — efficiently and confidently.
Offsite Records Storage
Store your physical documents in our secure, climate-controlled storage facilities equipped with 24/7 surveillance, restricted access, and fire suppression systems. We use RFID tracking and barcode indexing to ensure every file is traceable, organized, and easy to retrieve on demand. Ideal for confidential HR files, legal contracts, medical records, or financial reports.
Document Scanning & Digitization
Transform stacks of paper into searchable, high-resolution digital files. Using advanced scanning systems and OCR (Optical Character Recognition), we convert physical documents into organized digital archives with indexed categories. This improves file accessibility, reduces physical storage needs, and supports remote working and digital compliance practices.
Digital Document Management
Access your records anytime, from anywhere. Our secure cloud-based document management system (DMS) allows for safe file storage, user-based access control, audit trails, and encrypted backups. Perfect for companies embracing hybrid or paperless environments, our system streamlines collaboration and ensures documents are protected, backed up, and always accessible.
Secure Retrieval & Delivery
Need a file urgently? With our on-demand retrieval service, you can request digital scans or physical file delivery straight to your office, securely and swiftly. Our GPS-tracked fleet and trained staff ensure your records are handled with care and confidentiality. We also offer scheduled pickups and returns tailored to your workflow and record access needs.
Confidential Shredding & Destruction
When files are no longer needed, we provide certified destruction services to keep your business compliant with UAE data protection laws, GDPR, and ISO 27001 standards. All shredding is conducted under secure conditions, and you’ll receive a detailed certificate of destruction for audit and compliance records. Available for bulk or recurring document purges.
Records Indexing & Classification
Proper indexing is key to efficient document retrieval. Our team classifies, labels, and indexes your files by document type, department, creation date, or retention schedule — based on your business needs. This ensures faster retrieval, improved compliance, and seamless document audits, reducing downtime and manual search time across departments.

Comprehensive Guide on Records Management Services
In an era where businesses generate more data than ever before, managing that information effectively is not only a matter of operational efficiency — it’s also critical for compliance, security, and long-term sustainability. From paper documents and contracts to digital records and confidential archives, organizations need structured systems to store, access, retrieve, and dispose of information.
This guide by ISS Relocations, a trusted name in corporate and government logistics in the UAE, explores everything you need to know about Records Management Services, how they work, why they matter, and how your business can benefit from outsourcing document control to professionals.
What is Records Management?
Records management refers to the systematic control of information from its creation to its eventual disposal. It involves organizing, storing, accessing, safeguarding, and securely destroying records in a way that supports business operations and complies with legal, regulatory, and industry standards.
Records can be:
-
Physical (paper files, contracts, employee records, blueprints)
-
Digital (scanned documents, PDFs, financial reports, cloud files)
-
Sensitive (medical data, legal records, tax documentation)
A good records management strategy ensures:
-
Instant access to business-critical information
-
Improved productivity and collaboration
-
Legal compliance with data protection laws
-
Reduced risks of data loss or unauthorized access
Why Records Management Matters in the UAE
The UAE’s rapidly evolving business ecosystem, especially in sectors like finance, legal, healthcare, and government, requires organizations to manage a vast volume of information daily. With the implementation of stricter data privacy laws (such as the UAE Personal Data Protection Law – PDPL) and the adoption of international standards like GDPR and ISO 27001, businesses are under pressure to handle records responsibly.
Failure to do so can lead to:
-
Regulatory fines and penalties
-
Data breaches and reputational loss
-
Operational inefficiencies and missed deadlines
-
Litigation due to lack of records or unauthorized access
By partnering with ISS Relocations, UAE businesses can ensure their records are handled professionally, securely, and in full legal compliance.

Physical vs. Digital Records Management
| Aspect | Physical Records | Digital Records |
|---|---|---|
| Storage | Offsite, secure warehouse | Cloud or local servers |
| Accessibility | Via delivery or scanning | Instant online access |
| Security | Surveillance, fire control | Encryption, access control |
