Explanation
Retention policies in Microsoft 365 are specifically designed to preserve content for a defined period-even if users delete it. When a retention policy is applied to a SharePoint site, deleted files are preserved in the Preservation Hold Library (a hidden library) and remain accessible to compliance administrators for the retention period. This directly satisfies the requirement to keep copies for one year regardless of user deletions. DLP policies prevent sensitive data from being shared, not preserve files. Insider risk policies detect risky user behaviors. Sensitivity label policies classify and protect data, but do not enforce time-based preservation.
