Security Architecture

The Compartment
Methodology

This isn't just storage. It's a security architecture — and it's why Pakistan's most sensitive organisations choose DATArecall.

How It Works

DATArecall's proprietary Compartment Methodology of Storage

01
Physical Separation Each client's records are kept physically separated from all other clients — allocated to exclusive, dedicated storage areas within our record centers.
02
Accidental Disclosure Prevention Our methodology minimises the risk of accidental disclosure of one client's records to another, eliminating a major vulnerability in shared storage facilities.
03
Clear Audit Trails Every access to every box is logged and traceable. Clear audit trails are maintained for every retrieval, return, and access event — at all times.
04
Controlled Staff Access Even our own staff have limited, controlled access. No single employee can access all client areas — ensuring internal security at all levels.
This isn't just storage. It's a security architecture.

Pakistan's most sensitive organisations — banks, listed companies, pharmaceutical firms — trust DATArecall because no other local provider offers this level of security methodology.

Why This Matters For Your Business

When you outsource records to a company that mixes all clients' records together, you're exposing your sensitive documents to accidental disclosure, misfiles, and unauthorized access. DATArecall eliminates these risks entirely.

Our clients include Pakistan's most privacy-sensitive organisations — major banks, listed companies, and pharmaceutical firms — who chose DATArecall specifically because of this methodology.

Zero Cross-Client Exposure Your files never touch another client's storage area
Sealed Box Protocol Client seals each box; received sealed — always
Bar-Code Tracking Every box scanned in/out with full digital trail
G4S Security Partner International security for physical access control
Fire-Protected Facilities Fire suppression equipment across all record centers
Pest-Free Environment Regular professional pest control treatments

Destroying Business Records Too Early Can Cost You Dearly

Destroying business records before their mandatory retention period exposes your organisation to serious legal and regulatory consequences under Pakistani law. Don't let poor records management put your business at risk.

🏛️

FBR Tax Penalties

Failure to retain records as required by FBR can result in significant tax penalties and audits.

⚖️

SECP Regulatory Action

SECP can take regulatory action against companies that fail to maintain mandated corporate records.

🔨

Legal Vulnerability

Inability to produce records in court proceedings leaves your organisation unable to defend against legal claims.

📋

Loss of Evidence

Prematurely destroyed records mean loss of vital evidence in disputes, audits, and court proceedings.

Section 230 — Companies Ordinance 1984

Section 230(6): "….the books of accounts of every company relating to a period of not less than TEN YEARS immediately preceding the current year shall be PRESERVED in GOOD ORDER…."
Section 230(7): "….. Listed companies …. Punishable for a term which may extend to ONE YEAR & fines….. Other companies …. SIX MONTHS & fines…."

DATArecall owns and operates the largest Record Storage & Management facilities in Pakistan and fully complies with Section 230(6) to keep Books of Accounts in good order for the required ten years — protecting your organisation from legal and regulatory risk.

Why Records Management Matters

The Real Cost of
Unmanaged Records

According to PRISM International Inc., unmanaged records cost businesses far more than they realise — in time, money, legal risk, and lost opportunity.

01

To Save Space & Reduce Costs

Outsourcing to DATArecall frees up valuable, expensive office space. Old records no longer occupy prime real estate at high rental cost — freeing your workspace for productive use.

02

To Improve Retrieval Speed

Managers spend an average of 4 weeks per year searching for misfiled information. Our bar-coded indexing system delivers the exact document you need, as quickly as you need it.

03

To Minimise Litigation Risks

A consistently followed records management program reduces the legal liabilities associated with improper document disposal through systematic, auditable retention schedules.

04

To Safeguard Vital Information

DATArecall's vital records programs preserve the integrity and confidentiality of your most important records according to a comprehensive, documented plan.

05

To Support Decision Making

Records management ensures the right information reaches the right people at the right time — supporting current decisions and future strategic planning.

06

To Preserve Corporate Memory

An organisation's files contain its institutional memory — an irreplaceable asset. DATArecall is the right custodian to preserve the history and heritage of your business.

FAQ

Frequently Asked
Questions

Everything you need to know about outsourcing your records management to DATArecall.

Why is outsourcing cheaper than in-house Records Management? +
Outsourcing Records Management is up to 60% cheaper than doing it in-house. DATArecall's overheads are distributed across many customers — meaning the costs of purpose-built facilities, trained staff, technology, and security are shared. If each company maintained its own separate setup, the total cost would be phenomenal. You benefit from enterprise-grade infrastructure at a fraction of the price.
Why should I trust an outside company with my precious records? +
DATArecall is operated by Technology Trade Pvt. Ltd., Pakistan's largest Balloters Share Registrar. We are already trustee for the records of 500+ listed corporate entities including major banks — JS Bank Ltd, Allied Bank Ltd, United Bank Ltd, and Bank Islami — demonstrating their complete trust in our capabilities and security. As the Preferred Partner of Iron Mountain® (the world's #1 records management company), our standards are internationally validated.
What precautions are taken against Pests? +
DATArecall's Record Centers are treated with certified Pest Control on a regular, scheduled basis. Your records are protected from ALL kinds of pests including termites, white ants, and all other insects. Your records are significantly safer in our purpose-built centers than in your own warehouse or office storage.
What precautions are taken against Fire? +
Our Record Centers are equipped with professional Fire Protection equipment throughout. Physical security is supported by G4S — an internationally recognized security service provider. Between our fire suppression systems, security partnerships, and purpose-built facilities, your records are considerably SAFER in our centers than in your own warehouses or offices.
How do I know my files won't get mixed up with other clients' files? +
DATArecall uses our proprietary Compartment Methodology of Storage combined with state-of-the-art bar-coding software to track every record. Each BOX is individually Bar-Coded and assigned to a client-exclusive storage area. Our system virtually eliminates misfiles, and we allocate dedicated, exclusive areas to each client — your files are physically separated from all other clients at all times.
How is the secrecy of my records ensured? +
DATArecall collects records from client premises where clients seal each DATA Box with a nylon cable tie and sign & seal the DATA Box themselves. On retrievals, clients receive the DATA Box exactly as they handed it over — completely sealed. Our Compartment Methodology ensures even our own staff have limited, controlled access, so your confidential records remain fully confidential at all times.
How quickly can I get my records back? +
Retrieval requests can be placed online through DATArecall Connect (our secure client portal) or by phone. Our bar-coded tracking system means your box is located immediately, and our documented case studies show retrieval times improved by up to 80% compared to in-house systems. For urgent requests, we offer expedited retrieval services.
Do you offer secure shredding for records that have completed their retention period? +
Yes. DATArecall provides certified Secure Shredding & Destruction services for records that have completed their mandatory retention cycle. We provide a Certificate of Destruction for your audit trail, ensuring full compliance with your records retention policy and giving you documented proof of proper disposal.
