A retention policy is a plan for how long a type of electronic information should be retained before being deleted.

Organizations vary considerably with regard to their retention policies. Some keep everything forever; others try to minimize the extent to which electronic information is stored. Organizations often define a retention policy but then ignore it in practice and retain the material indefinitely.

In this webinar, we'll discuss:

• Laws and regulations that affect retention policy
• Internal corporate policies that are likely to affect retention policy
• Other things to consider when determining retention policy
• How to define a retention policy (for example, who is involved and what are the responsibilities)
• The main retention policies in place today
• How retention policies are changing

The webinar concludes with a Q&A period.

Important Questions Addressed by This Webinar Include:

• How do I determine the right retention policies for my organization?
• How do I get organizational support for the policies?
• What are the main things to get right when defining retention policies?
• What are the key trends?
