When an organization is issued a legal hold notice, it must cease all data purging processes that may affect information pertinent to the anticipated litigation, regardless of any pre-existing data retention policies.
Upon receiving a legal hold notice, an organization must preserve all data related to the litigation, even if it contradicts their regular data retention or destruction policies. Failure to comply with a legal hold can result in serious legal consequences, including sanctions or loss of a case due to spoliation of evidence.
