Episode 25 — Define retention and disposal that is enforceable across systems and vendors (Domain 2C-5 Retention and Disposal)
This episode teaches retention and disposal as enforceable control systems rather than policy statements, because exam scenarios often reveal gaps between stated retention and actual technical behavior. You’ll learn how to design retention rules based on purpose and obligation, then connect them to implementation patterns like TTL enforcement, automated deletion jobs, archive controls, and deletion propagation to replicas and downstream processors. We’ll discuss the hard realities of backups, logs, data lakes, and vendor systems, and how to handle them with documented exceptions, technical constraints, compensating controls, and clear communication in notices and contracts. You’ll also practice exam-style questions about “right to delete” versus legal hold, and you’ll learn to select answers that show traceability, ownership, and verifiable disposal evidence.
