A company must keep certain transaction logs in a cloud environment for an unresolved case. The duration of this situation is unknown. Which approach helps the company avoid accidental removal of these records?
Set a weekly backup policy and manage copies using administrator guidance.
Compress logs in a separate archive with adjustable deletion policies.
Enable a legal hold to protect logs from alteration or removal.
Apply a six-month automated removal policy, with manual re-uploads if the case requires it.
Enabling a legal hold guarantees that logs will stay untouched for the entire duration of the case. Relying on weekly backups guided by administrators or using pre-set removal timelines may create gaps, allowing accidental deletion. Saving logs in a compressed form in a separate archive might still depend on internal policies that allow for early removal. A legal hold is designed to address uncertain schedules by placing records under controlled preservation.
