Align retention controls with legal, operational, and records obligations.
Understand obligations
Map business, legal, regulatory, and records requirements.
Separate retention from backup
Retention governs preservation and disposition, not operational recovery.
Choose the right controls
Use policies, labels, event-based retention, and record declarations where appropriate.
Test disposition
Validate review, proof of disposition, and stakeholder ownership.
Maintain defensibility
Document schedules, approvals, exceptions, and operational procedures.
