How does archiving Salesforce data help comply with regulatory compliance, legal, and data retention policies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n It’s not only documents and emails that can contain sensitive information – it can also be found in Salesforce data. Your org may contain files and notes that need to be preserved or purged, such as in comment fields. For example if your company is involved in litigation, you will likely be required to do a \u201cdocument hold\u201d and retain documents associated with the legal issue. In this case, you would want to archive this data rather than delete it entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depending on your business model and geographic footprint, you may need to comply with multiple regulatory requirements especially in highly regulated industries like government, financial services, legal, healthcare, insurance, and others. The data can’t sit in your Salesforce org forever. And non-compliance can be very, very expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your data also must align with your company’s data retention company policy. Some companies have policies that require long data retention periods and include lots of data, while others have policies that involve purging a lot of information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Archiving Salesforce data can help comply with these regulations and policies by removing the data from production orgs so it can’t be readily accessed by a large number of users, while keeping the data searchable and unarchivable if it’s needed in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How does archiving obsolete Salesforce data benefit your org?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Old, useless data becomes an obstacle that makes people’s jobs unnecessarily difficult. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might have old metadata and custom objects that haven’t been used for more than a decade but are still cluttering your org. Your instinct might be to purge, or delete, your data. Don’t do this. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s common for Salesforce customers with older implementations to purge or delete data when experiencing performance-related problems. But this is the wrong solution as it may result in deleting useful business data. <\/strong>Too many assumptions can be made about what isn\u2019t needed anymore. Can you ever truly be sure you’ll never, ever need that data? If you effectively archive instead of purge or delete data, you don’t run the risk of being overzealous in your cleanup efforts and creating other problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAnother benefit of archiving is that it reduces costs. Storing large volumes of data in Salesforce can get expensive, so why store more data than you actually need?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
