What is records management?
Records management is the disciplined control of an organization's records throughout their lifecycle — from capture and classification through retention, legal holds, and defensible disposal — in line with legal, regulatory, and business requirements. Strong records management (a core part of information governance) reduces risk and cost while ensuring you can find and produce any record on demand.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between records management and archiving?
Archiving is the capture and preservation of records in a searchable, tamper-evident repository. Records management is the broader discipline of governing those records across their lifecycle — retention, holds, and defensible disposal — per legal and regulatory rules. Grotabyte provides both.
What is defensible deletion?
Defensible deletion is the documented, policy-driven disposal of records that have met their retention requirement and are not subject to any legal hold. Done consistently with audit trails, it reduces risk, storage cost, and discovery scope while withstanding legal scrutiny.
Does Grotabyte support FOIA and public-records requests?
Yes. Grotabyte provides fast search, review, legal holds, and defensible export across email, chats, and files — with versioned statutory deadline rules — so agencies and public institutions can respond to FOIA and open-records requests quickly and defensibly.
