DUPLICATES

Keep the right copy

Varonis groups duplicates and shows which copy is the original and which is newest. It shows where each copy lives and whether it's sensitive, overexposed, or past retention. You choose which copy to keep.

RETENTION

Enforce retention by data type

Map classification to retention windows. For example, act on payment card data after 7 years, personal data after 2, and health data after 6. Built-in policies cover duplicates, stale data, and retention. Edit them to fit your rules.

When data breaks a policy, Varonis moves it to a secure quarantine. Every action is reversible, so nothing is gone until you decide.

FAQs

Common questions

What counts as ROT?

ROT is redundant, obsolete, or trivial data. That includes duplicates, files nobody has touched in years, and data past its retention window. It also includes unused backups, archives, media, and logs.

How does Varonis decide data is stale?

Varonis tracks how old each record is and how long it has gone untouched. It combines that with classification and permissions. That's how it tells stale data from data people still use.

Can it find duplicates in files it can't read?

Yes. Varonis finds duplicate media files, installers, DLLs, and archives, even when it can't read what's inside them.

Can it enforce data residency?

Yes. Varonis enforces data residency policies automatically.

Is Data Lifecycle Management a separate product?

It's built on the Varonis Data Security Platform. It uses the same classification, permissions, and activity data you already have.
