Data Retention & Expiration

Communication has never been as easy as it is today. Email has become the standard means of business communication - and often includes sensitive document files as attachments.  Many organizations have document and email retention policies - but how long should data be kept? One principle suggests that data should not be kept longer than necessary, but given the importance of maintaining business records and potential legal obligations, companies must formulate and consistently apply records management policy.

 

Similarily, it is challenging, if not impossible, to retain control of information once it is circulated.  Even more difficult is expiring information in email inboxes, user desktops and shared folders.

 

Liquid Machines Enterprise Rights Management solutions allow enterprises to enforce information retention policies by forensically deleting information, making it unable to be viewed by anyone. This allows the organization to lower legal liability by ensuring information is deleted only at the appropriate time and lowers the cost of information storage.

 

Liquid Machines provides organizations the ability to define rules that identify email that must be archived according to government regulations. Email is expired once the designated archive period is complete. This allows companies to reduce the cost of archiving and steamline finding relevant information when requested by auditors.
