What happens when financial institutions fail to meet retention requirements?

The answer is: billions in fines. To successfully manage financial data retention, institutions must address four primary challenges: 

  • Retention Regulations & Compliance Audits: Keeping up with evolving requirements across various jurisdictions and data types is complex and resource intensive. 
  • Proprietary & Encrypted Formats: Legacy systems and encrypted data formats limit accessibility, transferability, and integration, especially when responding to regulatory requests. 
  • Siloed Data Across Multiple Systems: Fragmented data storage across different platforms prevents organizations from achieving unified oversight and comprehensive compliance reporting. 
  • Data Still Residing in Legacy Systems: Outdated systems increase operational costs and limit scalability, making compliance efforts inefficient and error prone. 

Top-performing banks have started addressing these challenges through cloud migration, data standardization, and automation of compliance workflows. However, many still lag behind, risking substantial penalties and reputational harm.
