Compliant data retention in accordance with national regulations
Data retention describes the process of storing information for a specified period of time in order to comply with regulations or for business-related purposes. Depending on the industry of the company, there are different regulations regarding what information must be stored and for how long.
For telecommunications providers or other industries that produce networked devices (e.g., connected cars), data retention also refers to the retention of all traffic and subscriber data for a specified period of time. In many countries, access to this data may be required by law enforcement and intelligence agencies to assist in crime investigation and terrorism prevention.
To meet these requirements and securely store all traffic, subscriber and network data in accordance with national security regulations, Utimaco offers a carrier-level data retention solution.
