Despite the fact that most companies maintain some form of electronic records retention, and that electronic records retention policies are generally mandated by local legal frameworks, these records may not fully comply with higher standard regulatory requirements like GDPR.
Discussed in PharmTech post and citing Siegfried Schmitt, vice president Technical at Parexel, having standard operating procedures regarding retention is “a regulatory necessity” and “makes good business sense.” How long a company must retain their data varies; in the case of clinical data, companies might have to keep their data for up to twenty-five years.
With long retention periods, it is important to consider: what future pitfalls can retaining critical data face? The records can be compromised by any number of factors ranging from simple software updates or installation of new programs and modules, patches, or cybersecurity failures. Retained data can also be damaged or imperfectly captured in the cases of poorly managed system replacement or migration.
