Data Lifecycle Management: The Overlooked Step of Secure Deletion
Briefly

Data is ubiquitous in 2025, emphasizing the need for effective Data Lifecycle Management (DLM). While organizations excel at collecting and utilizing data, many neglect the crucial final stage—secure data deletion. Proper deletion is not just about hitting 'delete'; it is vital to ensure that sensitive information is irretrievable. Inadequate deletion can lead to legal repercussions under regulations like GDPR and HIPAA, along with loss of trust among customers and stakeholders. Thus, adopting comprehensive deletion practices is imperative to mitigate risks associated with data exposure.
