ICRM certifications represent professional credentials in records and information management and related governance disciplines. They broadly address how organizations create, classify, store, protect, retain, and dispose of information across physical and digital environments, with attention to legal, regulatory, and operational requirements. Knowledge areas commonly reflected include records lifecycle management, information governance principles, risk and compliance considerations, metadata and classification schemes, privacy and security awareness, and program administration. Candidates are generally expected to demonstrate both conceptual understanding and applied judgment rather than product-specific skills, and preparation typically assumes professional experience or formal study in information management or a related field. These certifications are often pursued by practitioners supporting careers such as records or information managers, information governance professionals, compliance and risk staff, and roles responsible for managing organizational information assets in regulated or complex business settings.
