Why Automate Data Deletion?

Manual deletion processes are no longer viable in complex IT environments. Regulatory obligations such as GDPR Article 17 require traceable and consistent removal of personal data. Automation ensures scalability, accuracy, and evidence-based compliance.

  • Group personal data by object type and retention rules
  • Apply approval workflows and exception handling
  • Trigger deletions through internal or external events
