An organization is creating a data governance plan. Which component of this plan specifically outlines the approved timeframe for storing data before it must be securely disposed of?
A data retention policy establishes the official timeframe for how long data should be stored to comply with organizational rules and external regulations. Once this period expires, the data is subject to disposal procedures. Data processing policies govern how data is handled during its use, and data encryption policies mandate security controls. A data disposal policy would focus on the methods of deletion, not the timeframe for keeping the data.
