This Service Covers

GDPRArticle 5(1)(e) — Storage Limitation

What You Get

For clients with existing backups but no automatic deletion. We configure lifecycle policies in S3/GCS/Azure Blob or on local server: automatic deletion of backups older than specified retention period, notifications before deletion, logging of all operations. We verify the purge process actually deletes data (not just marks as deleted). Documented for audit.

Who Needs This

  • Companies with existing backups but no automated deletion schedule
  • Businesses failing storage-limitation audits under GDPR Article 5(1)(e)
  • Organizations with growing storage costs from never-deleted backups
  • Companies that need auditable proof of data deletion

Frequently Asked Questions

What if we need to keep some backups longer than others?+
That's exactly what we configure. Different retention periods per data category: customer data 2 years, financial 7 years, marketing 1 year — whatever your Data Retention Policy specifies.
Can deleted backups be recovered?+
By design, no. GDPR requires actual deletion. We verify that purged backups cannot be recovered. If you need a "soft delete" grace period, we can add a 30-day recycle bin before permanent deletion.
Does this work with on-premise servers, not just cloud?+
Yes. For on-premise we use cron jobs with custom scripts. The logic is the same: scan → identify expired → notify → delete → log.
How do we prove to auditors that deletion happened?+
Every deletion operation is logged with timestamp, file path, size, and retention reason. Logs are stored separately and retained for the audit period. This is your evidence for GDPR Article 5(1)(e) compliance.
What if we accidentally set the wrong retention period?+
We add pre-deletion notifications 7 days before any batch deletion. This gives you time to review and cancel if needed. Additionally, we recommend testing lifecycle policies on non-production data first.
