A business uses a hosted archiving service for logs. Local regulations require certain records to be stored for a specific duration, but the new contract does not specify how the provider will satisfy that timeframe. Which action helps meet the requirement?
Proceed based on verbal assurances from the vendor that the requirement will be met
Implement on-site archiving to meet the requirement without altering the vendor agreement
Submit an updated contract with specific clauses to address record-retention requirements
Secure the logs via encryption to address potential compliance gaps
An updated agreement clarifies the vendor’s responsibility to retain data for the mandatory span, satisfying legal obligations. Depending on verbal assurances or shifting archiving onsite might not guarantee the external provider’s compliance. Encrypting data preserves confidentiality but does not mandate storage for the required length of time.
