Transform your information governance strategy

Get the content lifecycle management your organization needs to reduce risk and stay compliant, all while keeping productivity high. We make it easy to streamline content governance with flexible retention schedules, preservation for defensible discovery, and disposition management.

Proactively manage document retention schedules

Seamlessly customize retention policies to fit your specific needs and maintain compliance — from HIPAA and FINRA to GDPR and CCPA. Event-based retention automatically applies retention policies based on business events, like an employee’s departure or the end of a contract term. And modifiable retention policies provide flexibility as external regulatory environments or internal governance policies change. Retention schedules mitigate enterprise risk and evolve flexibly with your business, rather than creating friction.

Conduct defensible preservation

From trademark issues to patent infringement, legal risk is a serious concern for every company. But with the right systems to effectively preserve relevant content, you prevent costly (and time-consuming) litigation. Legal holds ensure that content relevant to litigation can be found based on a user and is held indefinitely in Box, as well as integrated into your eDiscovery system or process, and can easily be exported for legal review.

Effectively dispose of your content

Box Governance gives you the flexibility to remove unnecessary data without compromising retention. Advanced trash controls reduce enterprise risk by providing the right balance between automatically purging content and delegating or restricting permanent trash deletion to authorized users. Plus, it empowers users to restore content in the event of accidental deletion. 

Integrate with leading eDiscovery tools

 

Box Governance works with the best-of-breed eDiscovery tools you already have in place to proactively preserve, analyze, collect, and review data. Partnering with industry-leading eDiscovery solutions enables you to maximize your investment, reduce the risk of data spoliation, and conduct data-driven discovery in the face of litigation.
