IG 201: ADVANCED INFORMATION GOVERNANCE 8 part series
Applying Records Retention to Structured Data
Greg Forest, Chief Technology Officer, Contoural
Historically, records retention programs have focused on hardcopy paper records in addition to semi structured electronic information like email, and unstructured information such as files and images. Yet surveys indicate that up to 50% of most data reside in structured systems – relational and other types of databases that house application data. These systems contain records, privacy information and other content subject to legal and regulatory requirements. Most organizations, however, rarely apply retention deletion and other governance policies to this structured data, creating both non-compliance and risk. In this advanced webinar, Greg Forest of Contoural will discuss applying record retention and deletion to structured data.
