Hard Deletion App

Regulations around record keeping and data privacy as well as internal policies may define scenarios that require the full and final deletion of data from IT systems

Benefits for your use cases

Those regulations can be met by using the Hard Deletion App. Data, including file attachments, can be removed completely from the IBM OpenPages system in the current reporting period as well as all previous reporting periods irrevocably.
