The challenge

Data was kept indefinitely “just in case”, increasing GDPR risk, while legal and HR investigations relied on slow, manual searches.

What I delivered

• Translated the business retention schedule into Purview retention policies and labels
• Configured records management for content that must be kept and protected from deletion
• Aligned retention with UK GDPR storage-limitation principles
• Set up eDiscovery cases, legal holds and audit search procedures for investigations
• Documented runbooks so internal teams can run searches confidently

Outcome

Defensible retention and disposal, and investigations that take hours instead of weeks.
