RetainIQ — Data Lifecycle Management

RetainIQ applies retention policies based on data classification, type, age, source, and regulatory requirements. You define the rules—7 years for financial records, 3 years for HR data, etc.—and RetainIQ automates enforcement.

When data reaches its retention deadline, RetainIQ can automatically delete it, archive it to cold storage, or flag it for human review. The action depends on your policy configuration and the data's classification.

When litigation or regulatory investigation requires preserving data, you can apply a legal hold that suspends all deletion and archival for affected data. RetainIQ tracks holds and ensures affected data is preserved until the hold is released.

Absolutely. RetainIQ identifies ROT (Redundant, Obsolete, Trivial) data that can be safely deleted, and automatically moves aging data to cheaper storage tiers. Most customers see 20-40% reduction in storage costs.

RetainIQ maintains detailed audit logs of all retention actions—what was deleted, when, why, and by whom. Compliance reports demonstrate your retention policies are being consistently enforced across all data sources.
