Erasure & Archiving Policies:
What is it and when is it necessary?

Erasure and archiving policies are structured specifications that define how and when data is deleted or archived in an organisation. They are used to manage personal data in accordance with legal requirements, in particular the GDPR. These policies govern the entire lifecycle of data, from collection to deletion or archiving, and ensure that data is not kept longer than necessary.

Erasure and archiving enables your organisation to comply with data protection regulations and avoid fines. It protects organisations from the risk of unauthorised use or disclosure of data, ensures legally compliant documentation, and allows for the proper archiving of valuable data when it needs to be retained for the long term.

The result:
Efficient & secure data management

  • Legal certainty: You can be sure that you are complying with legal requirements, in particular those of the GDPR.
  • Sustainable data management: A structured approach facilitates data management by providing clear guidelines for deletion or archiving.
  • Risk minimisation: The risk of data misuse or unauthorised access is reduced by regularly reviewing and deleting data.
