Log Retention Policy Enforcement Workflow
Automate log retention policy approvals to ensure compliance and optimize storage management.

Why automate?
IT logs store critical system activity, security events, and compliance records, making proper retention policies essential. Without structured approvals, log retention periods may be misconfigured, leading to data loss, excessive storage use, or compliance violations. Manually enforcing log retention increases the risk of missing critical records or retaining unnecessary logs beyond legal requirements. An approval workflow ensures that log retention policies are properly reviewed and applied. Cflow helps to automate Log Retention Policy Approvals, ensuring that retention rules comply with regulations and are implemented efficiently, optimizing storage and maintaining compliance.
