Regulatory Compliance

As growing amounts of information have amassed globally, so have the concerns over information authenticity, protection, and security. Government regulations across the world require implementing an ever changing litany of policies:

United States: SEC Rule 17a-4, HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley
Canada: PIPEDA
Europe: Directive 2006/24/EC, Euro-SOX, MiFID, European Union Data Protection Directive 95/46
Asia-Pacific: J-SOX (Japan), JPIPA (Japan), Right to Information Act (India), Companies Act (Singapore), APRA (Australia)
Latin America: Azaredo Law (Brazil), Federal Freedom of Information Act (Mexico)

These have all moved aggressively to further protect investors from financial malfeasance as well as to shield individuals and groups from violations of their privacy. As a result, both IT and financial executives are faced with substantial legal and financial penalties if unstructured data (email and documents) are not properly managed and retained over their lifecycle. While dramatically lower prices for storage devices make it possible for companies to store more and more data online, new tools are necessary to better manage all this data over its lifecycle and to comply with government regulations. ARKIVIO® auto-stor enables IT departments to organize and classify their data and storage resources based on their relative importance to the business in order to drive the appropriate data to an online archive. The Arkivio solution enables the protection of protected data from modification or deletion for the duration of the retention policy, ensuring that data is immutable until its retention expires, and also manages the data in the archive by enabling the deletion of the data once its retention period has expired.

The Summary Benefits of Data Retention Management for compliance with ARKIVIO® auto-stor:

Organize and Classify Data Based on Business Value: Automatically discover data resources and assign business value by department, user and application. Organize and classify resources to achieve compliance with government regulations and meet business needs.
Automated Data Movement: Move and delete data according to administrator-defined policies, which eliminates the need for scripts or other manual processes that are costly and error-prone. Drive intelligent data migration and retention policies of data from primary storage to online data retention archives.
No User Disruption: Users can continue to access their data from the same location where their data was originally stored - eliminating the need to retrain or create different access paths or new search capabilities.
