Presents a scientific research based in a study concerning the access control policies adopted in the State Public Archives. For this, seeks to identify the actions taken to control access to documentary and ensure the security of public information, with reference to the theoretical requirements of Standars ISO 15489-1; e-ARQ, and ABNT NBR ISO/IEC 27002. A survey on the site of the National Council on Archives (CONARQ), just looking for files that possessed an accessible website for contact, enabled us to define the institutions that would participate in the research. After that, it was possible to prepare the instrument for collecting data through a questionnaire send by electronic mail (e-mail), applied to those responsible of State Public Archives, selected for the study. It was concluded that, besides providing security measures for the file, otherwise the institutions are concerned about the security of information that will be passed on the users.
