Compliance Standards

Audit-Ready Lifecycle Management

Don't just store data. Prove it. Our systems are engineered to satisfy the rigorous documentation requirements of North American regulatory bodies.

Regulatory Alignment 

Our infrastructure is built to support clients in highly regulated industries. By utilizing Global Data Retention as your offsite archival vendor, you align your organization with the following frameworks:

• SOC 2 Type II: Our upstream data center partners are fully audited for Security, Availability, and Confidentiality.

• HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act): We provide Business Associate Agreements (BAA) upon request for healthcare entities requiring encrypted archival of PHI (Protected Health Information).

• ISO 27001: Adhering to international best practices for information security management systems (ISMS).

Retention Policy Enforcement 

Compliance isn't just about keeping data; it's about destroying it on time.

• Immutable Storage: We offer "Write Once, Read Many" (WORM) storage locking to prevent accidental deletion or modification during the statutory retention period (e.g., 7 years for tax records).

• Defensible Destruction: Upon the expiration of a retention cycle, data is cryptographically shredded, and a "Certificate of Destruction" is generated for your legal records.

Audit Trails 

Every interaction with the vault (login attempts, file uploads, and metadata access) is logged in an immutable ledger. This ensures a transparent Chain of Custody for legal hold scenarios.
