Retention and Disposal
Service module
Establishing and maintaining the policies, processes, and practices governing how long information, data and records are kept and when and how they are securely deleted or destroyed
These processes ensure that organisations manage their information efficiently, comply with legal and regulatory requirements, and reduce risks associated with over-retention or premature disposal.
How we do it
Retaining data beyond the necessary regulated retention period leads to increased storage costs, increased handling and management complexity, increased risk of unauthorised/inadvertent use, disclosure and unlawful disposal, increased cost of compliance with freedom of information requests and other legal discovery and increased risk of reputational damage if a cyber incident or data breach occurs.
Our approach includes defining a comprehensive data retention and disposal schedule that outlines data categories, triggers for action, retention periods, and security protocols. We regularly review and update retention and disposal schedules, providing our customers with training and knowledge transfer to support a smooth transition.
