Intervention Option: DoD Overwrite and Delete

Available for: Data At Rest. But note that for items detected in Exchange Public Folders or SharePoint sites, DoD Overwrite and Delete actions are not supported, although Delete actions (without DoD deletions) are supported.

Not available for: Emails; Application Monitor; Data In Motion.

Choose DoD Overwrite and Delete to delete files, using DoD deletions to ensure deleted files cannot be recovered. These can be files located in a local or remote file system. From a user's view, they only are aware that their file no longer exists when they next try to view it. You can still capture the associated file event and copy the file to an alternative location.

You can combine this control action with a Copy action to effectively move files to a new location.
