Operationalizing Data Retention

Join an exclusive, small-group discussion for senior data and AI leaders, providing a confidential space to exchange insights, share challenges, and learn from peers.

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────

As retention obligations grow, how do organisations translate policy into accountable, scalable processes and controls? Join peers to explore how responsibility is shared across data, compliance, technology and the business, and how retention requirements can be embedded into day-to-day operations.

Discussion Questions:

  • How can data management , compliance, ICT and business teams divide accountability and responsibility for implementing data-retention in a sustainable and scalable way?
  • What makes a data retention schedule practical to implement, maintain, and enforce across different systems and business processes?
  • How do you apply a risk-based approach to data retention in practice, and how do you operationalize this through processes and technology controls?

 Who should attend:  

This session is designed for senior data and AI leaders who:  

  • Are directly responsible for implementing data retention and;
  • Manage GDPR and wider legal retention obligations
