Ensuring Regulatory Compliance with Smart Archiving
Published on by PantheraDocs Team
What is 'Smart' Archiving?
Smart archiving goes beyond mere digital storage. It's an intelligent approach to document management that leverages advanced technologies to ensure your data is always accessible, secure, and compliant. Imagine a system where every document is not just saved, but understood – indexed, categorized, and tagged with relevant metadata. This foundational layer allows for proactive management of information based on its content and regulatory requirements.
Key components of smart archiving include:
- Automated Metadata Generation: Automatically extract and tag critical information from documents.
- Dynamic Retention Policies: Define and apply rules that dictate how long specific documents must be kept, and when they can be securely disposed of.
- Legal Hold Capabilities: Instantly place a hold on documents relevant to ongoing or anticipated legal proceedings, preventing their alteration or deletion.
- Version Control: Keep track of every modification, ensuring an immutable history of document changes.
