Compliance & Governance

Data Retention Schedule

Build a retention schedule for your records and data: what to keep, how long, why, and the deletion discipline that reduces both risk and clutter.

Build our retention schedule. Context: {{context}} (business type, the records we hold: financial, employment, customer, health/sensitive if any, current approach: usually 'keep everything forever'). Schedule by record class: the legal minimums to verify for Australia (financial/tax records ~5-7 years, employment records ~7, the flags per class to confirm for my industry and state), the business-value period beyond legal (when does a record stop earning its risk?), the deletion discipline (keeping everything is a liability: breach exposure, discovery burden, privacy expectations — the annual purge ritual with the two-person confirm for irreversibles), the format note (where digitising is fine vs originals matter), and the register format: class, retention, trigger-date, destruction method, owner. Flag the classes where my situation needs professional confirmation.

Fields like {{ this }} are placeholders — replace them with your own details, or let Aria ask you for them.
