What is Data Retention Policy Automation?
Data retention policy automation uses technology to enforce organizational rules governing how long different types of data are stored and when they should be deleted.
This automation ensures compliance with regulatory requirements like tax law retention periods, employment record requirements, and data privacy regulations.
Automated systems classify documents, apply retention schedules, send alerts before deletion deadlines, archive records appropriately, and execute secure deletion. For accounting firms and HR departments, this reduces manual tracking burden, ensures consistent policy application, mitigates legal risks, and manages storage costs. Automated data retention protects organizations from penalties while efficiently managing information lifecycle requirements.
