Question

A recent benchmarking analysis indicates that an IT organization retains more data and spends substantially more on data retention than its competitors.

Which of the following would BEST ensure retention costs are optimized?

A Requiring that all business cases contain data deletion and retention plans
B Revalidating the organization's risk tolerance and re-aligning the retention policy
C Redefining the retention policy to align with industry best practices
D Moving all high-risk and medium-risk data backups to cloud storage

Explanation

Retention policies should be aligned to the organization’s acceptable risk level as well as its business, legal, and compliance obligations. Revalidating risk tolerance and realigning the policy enables defensible deletion of data whose continued retention is not justified, reducing storage and administration costs without creating unacceptable risk.
