Why now?

As teams scaled and volumes of data grew, it created data retention challenges, putting operational continuity and data access at risk.

The Difference Vaultastic Made

Before Vaultastic

  • Fragmented records across mail, drives, SharePoint, and chat
  • 30-day retention policy risked permanent loss and ransomware impact
  • Slow, manual, costly email extractions for audits
  • Rising volumes escalated long-term storage costs
  • IT firefighting: pulls, restores, ad-hoc searches

After Vaultastic

  • Single source of truth on autoscaling infrastructure with secure self-service and full oversight
  • Tamper-proof, regulator-ready archive with 7+ years retention for active and ex-employee data
  • eDiscovery delivered rapid, accurate, audit-ready access (always audit-ready state)
  • Optimized storage tiers aligned retention to access needs, resulting in predictable costs year after year
  • Automated lifecycle management reduced manual workload, improving efficiency and response times

Lack of centralized oversight was exposing the business to risk

SEBI-mandated 7-year retention was hard to meet without efficient archiving of active and ex-employee data

Records were scattered across email, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams chat, heightening ransomware/deletion exposure

30-day M365 retention created permanent-loss risk and compliance gaps

Large email extractions were slow and costly, delaying audit responses
