Data Retention Register

A register of the information a business holds, its responsible owner and the agreed retention treatment.

Information ownership includes deciding how long a category of data should be kept and who reviews that rule. A register documents those decisions. It suits organisations whose records span several systems and need a maintained oversight list before any archive or deletion process is introduced.

What it manages

Records can hold data categories, systems, purpose, retention period and review decisions. This is an oversight record rather than an automatic deletion tool. Different information may need different treatment, and a legal hold or unresolved obligation can affect a planned deletion.

03

How it works in a business

The owner identifies a data category and documents the approved retention rule. Scheduled reviews check whether the rule and storage locations remain current. Any deletion or archive action follows an authorised process with evidence rather than an unchecked calendar trigger.

04

What SFn can customise

SFn can configure categories, review reminders and restricted reporting. Asset or system inventories may provide references. Retention periods, legal holds and deletion authority need advice from the business's responsible specialists; enforcement integrations are separate scope.
