Establishing a Retention Schedule has never been easier!

GRaaS provides a fully researched and vetted retention schedule: backed by Iron Mountain and updated regularly to account for new laws and retention regulations—giving organizations the comfort they need to take action and destroy documents and do it with confidence.

Researching and formulating a complete information governance policy for any content services platform – requires more time, money and resources than most organizations can afford or support, leading to a lack of confidence in their policies. As a result, they compromise between their policies with practicality and often then choose to retain all of their content forever in fear of destroying content at the wrong time, increasing overall risk including possible legal liability and major fines from a costly audit. Does this sound like your organization? Read on.

Automated management & execution of policy: With GRaaS, checks, statements and other related transactional documents are automatically destroyed after their retention period expires. Due to the high volume of these kinds of documents—in some cases well over 100,000 items daily—the automation capabilities of GRaaS provided by Document Retention ensure retention policies are consistently applied and documents are destroyed with little human interaction required.
