Data Growth & Retention (6)

Abysmal: The State of Data Retention

With the advent of Sarbanes-Oxley, SEC17a, Basel II and other laws that focus on data retention and accountability, companies across industries are at a higher risk for audits and potential lawsuits. In addition, recent updates to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) have placed an increased burden on IT organizations to produce data as part of a civil or criminal “e-discovery” request.

If your company received an e-discovery request today, would your IT organization have the capability to retrieve the appropriate information and supporting evidence to comply?

Barry Murphy, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, is a featured speaker and a leading expert on all things retention: records management, content archiving and electronic discovery. Learn more about the new Federal Rules of Civil Procedure guidelines for e-discovery, as well as the challenges of data retention compliance to support e-discovery requirements.
