Backup, Archiving and Cyber Recovery
Retention gets set once by whoever built the job and renews itself silently. It is reconciled against what the business must keep, priced in rupees a year.
Ask three people how long a record has to be kept and you will get three answers. Your backup platform is keeping all three.
Retention gets set once, by whoever configured the job, and then renews itself silently every month. Your statutory retention, your regulator's expectation and your own policy are three different numbers, and the platform is quietly honouring the longest of them. Every extra year kept is storage bought, replicated and protected.
Talk to SECCOM about reconciling your real retention against what the business actually has to keep.
What you get. For every data set: what you are obliged to keep, who owns that obligation, what the platform is actually set to, the gap between the two, and what that gap costs you in rupees a year.
Where SECCOM stops. The retention obligation is your compliance owner's ruling. SECCOM makes the platform match it and shows what the match costs.
