Retention Management

Manage data retention and lifecycle to meet compliance requirements

Plan, map and instantiate your organisations’ information management rules and disposal authority.
Using schedule modelling, refine the creation of retention labels and distribute them for
application across your tenancy. Training, support and defining an IM operational model ensures ongoing
manageability of the tools.

For many organisations, ensuring compliance and managing content lifecycles in a digital environment have long been challenging. Traditional document management systems often lack the flexibility and user-friendliness needed to promote widespread adoption, leading to scattered or poorly managed information. This is where Microsoft Purview's Retention Labelling and Records Management capabilities can reshape the way organisations govern and retain data.


Retention labelling allows organisations to implement effective, streamlined content governance strategies across Microsoft 365, transforming how they manage communications, documents, and semi-structured data in SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, and Exchange. With options for AI-driven automation, targeted inheritance, and intelligent rule applications, Purview enables organisations to meet their compliance requirements without needing to heavily involve end-users in the process.


By integrating capabilities such as Sensitive Information Types (SIT) and Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Purview facilitates comprehensive retention management and data control at scale. Spoke supports this process by working with Information and Records Managers to translate organisational retention schedules into effective Purview configurations, establishing an operational framework that aligns with best practices in information management.


Our services help:

  • Define and implement retention labels and configurations aligned with your Disposal Authority and Retention Schedule.

  • Establish an operational framework and support artifacts to enable business-as-usual governance.

  • Provide deployment assistance for core departments, enabling secure and compliant information management tailored to your organisation’s needs.


With Microsoft Purview, organisations can achieve robust content lifecycle management that’s both compliant and sustainable, positioning them for efficient data governance in the long term.
