Why each option
Before establishing any policy for data retention and deletion, especially for email archives, it is crucial to first understand and comply with all applicable legal requirements.
Help desk guidelines are operational procedures that are secondary to the primary legal obligations of data retention.
End user input might provide useful context but does not supersede the legal obligations governing data retention.
Legal requirements, such as industry regulations or governmental laws (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, SOX), dictate how long certain types of data, including email archives, must be retained or when they must be deleted. Failing to adhere to these mandates can result in significant fines and legal penalties for an organization.
Company policies should be developed after legal requirements are understood and incorporated, as they must align with or exceed legal standards.
