FILE DATA RETENTION
Keep what you must. Find what you should not keep.
File data retention starts with knowing what you hold. Diskover gives records, legal, and security teams one inventory of every file: where it lives, who owns it, how old it is, and which retention rule applies. Find likely sensitive files from metadata, apply holds, and delete on schedule, with a record of every action.

WHAT IT IS AND WHY IT MATTERS
What file data retention involves.
A data retention policy says how long each type of record must be kept and when it must go. For files, the hard part is not the policy. It is knowing where every copy lives, which rule applies to it, and whether anything is under a legal hold.
Only 34% of organizations know where all their data is, according to the Thales 2026 Data Threat Report. Diskover builds that picture from rich metadata, such as owner, location, and age, for every file, on every system, without opening a single file.
HOW DISKOVER HELPS
Find, flag, act, prove.
Ask where your sensitive files are.
Ask which files in public shares have names like payroll or passwords, or which files are past their retention date, and get the list back with a recommended action. Every action waits for a person to approve it.
