Episode 43 - The Information Governance Problem—Keeping Data Too Long can be Illegal

In this episode of the Data Governance 360 Podcast, George Tziahanas, VP of Compliance at Archive 360, interviews Joe Shepley from Alvarez & Marsal about data disposition and deletion. They discuss the shift from data retention to data deletion, the legal obligations and risks associated with keeping data beyond its useful life, and the importance of implementing a systematic and consistent process for data deletion. They also highlight the regulatory requirements for data deletion, such as New York DFS Part 500 and California CPRA, and the potential consequences of non-compliance, including fines and reputational damage. They emphasize the need for organizations to approach data deletion as an enterprise information governance initiative and to establish clear accountability for the process.
