The ability to manage data governance at scale to support e-discovery and legal compliance is a critical business requirement due to regulations such as HIPAA, SEC17a-4, FINRA, and other guidelines for data privacy. The Compliance Archive feature in MarkLogic helps meet the guidelines for document retention, accuracy, and availability—while not hampering the ability to cost-effectively scale your system and search your data. Compliance Archive achieves this by providing an out-of-the-box mechanism to protect temporal documents against deletion, updates, and wipes using time-based or event-based policies, and save those documents to WORM (Write Once, Read Many) storage with a single operation.
