2. Requirement Gathering & Process Documentation
• Stakeholder Workshops – Engage with business units, regulatory teams, and IT to define retention requirements.
• Gap Analysis – Compare current backup retention policies with regulatory obligations and target system capabilities.
• Process Modelling – Document how data flows through the bank’s systems and how long it must be retained.
• Retention & Disposal Policies – Work with legal and compliance teams to define policies for secure long-term storage and timely data disposal.
3. Technology & Systems Involvement
• New Platform (Dell Data Protection Suite)
• Define how data will be migrated and structured within the new backup environment.
• Work with engineers to ensure compliance with security, encryption, and access control policies.
• Help establish automation workflows for retention, archival, and disposal.
• Legacy Backup Systems
• Analyse existing backup infrastructure and data storage mechanisms.
• Determine how legacy data will be transitioned without compliance risks.
• Identify dependencies between applications and legacy data stores to avoid business disruption.
• Cloud & Hybrid Storage Considerations
• Work with Cloud Ops & IT Security teams to define secure data transfer strategies.
• Align long-term retention policies with multi-cloud and on-prem storage environments.
• Ensure auditability and access logging for retained data.
4. Regulatory & Compliance Alignment
• Cross-Business Data Retention Standards – Ensure data meets different retention rules across banking functions (e.g., financial transactions, customer records, internal documentation).
• Risk & Compliance Coordination – Align retention strategies with GDPR, FCA, PRA, and internal data governance frameworks.
• Data Expiry & Secure Disposal – Establish automated policies for secure deletion of data past its retention period.
