CMS Purges

Compliance-seeking organizations need to implement a CMS purging strategy that meets regulatory requirements on the storage and retention of historical communications. Typically, this strategy requires scheduled database purges. These run at regular intervals and are configurable in the CMS machine policy.

If you set up scheduled purging, you must also specify the minimum retention period for captured items before they are eligible for purging. For example, you may be required to retain emails for a minimum of three years.
