Understanding data retention

  • Last update on September 22nd, 2023

Here is the list of those reports that we keep a history of and for how long.

Data retention and consultation

To facilitate the reading of the tables below, we've listed the header labels and their corresponding meanings:

Data retention

This refers to the total duration for which data is stored and remains accessible in our storage systems. For instance, data for the CoreView audit report is stored for a span of 7 years.

 
 

Live search time frame

This refers to the period within which data can be accessed and consulted on-demand through the live search functionality in audits and reports on our portal. For example, in the Microsoft 365 audit report, data up to 9 months old is available on-demand via the search feature.

 
 

Support assistance time frame

This indicates the extended period during which data, even beyond the live search limit, can be accessed and consulted by requesting support from our team by opening a ticket. For instance, in the CoreView audit report, data older than 9 months and up to 7 years can be accessed through this method.

Many CoreView reports lack history. The following table provides data retention information for the reports that do have history:
