Abstract

See full text

An approach is provided for deleting electronic documents on network devices using a document retention policy. The document retention policy specifies one or more deletion criteria for documents belonging to each of a plurality of document classifications. The document retention policy is defined by document retention policy data that is managed by a document retention policy manager. The document retention policy manager disseminates the document retention policy data to network elements over a communications network. The document retention policy manager determines whether a retention policy audit should be performed and if so, signals the network elements to conduct a retention policy audit. The network elements are configured to conduct the retention policy audit by deleting electronic documents in accordance with the document retention policy. The network elements are further configured to generate and provide to the document retention policy manager report data that indicates results of performing the retention policy audit.
