Data Retention Policy Assessment
Data retention policy development and audit - classification-based retention schedules, secure disposal procedures, regulatory alignment, and policy enforcement mechanisms.
Why Data Retention Policy Assessment Matters
Every organization faces these critical risks. Without proper assessment, these vulnerabilities become attack vectors for adversaries.
Over-Retention Creating Liability
Keeping data beyond legal requirements increases breach impact and storage costs. We define classification-based retention periods aligned with legal obligations.
Premature Deletion Risks
Deleting data before retention periods expire - violating legal holds, regulatory requirements, and creating discovery issues in litigation.
Insecure Data Disposal
Data 'deleted' but recoverable from drives, backups, and archives. We validate secure disposal procedures including cryptographic erasure and physical destruction.
Inconsistent Retention Across Systems
Different retention periods for the same data type across databases, email, cloud storage, and backups creating compliance chaos.
Missing Legal Hold Procedures
No mechanism to suspend retention schedules during litigation or investigations. We implement legal hold workflows that override automated deletion.
Unmanaged Backup & Archive Retention
Backups retained indefinitely containing data that should have been purged. We align backup retention with data classification and regulatory requirements.
