Overview

Intelligent Identification & Tiering

Stop paying for premium storage for data you don't use. Infotechtion's discovery engine analyzes "Last Accessed" dates and contextual business value to identify candidates for archiving. We automate the movement of this data from expensive "Hot" storage to secure "Cold" storage, ensuring the transition is seamless and policy-driven.

Automated Movement

Migration

Policy-based migration from M365, File Shares, and Databases into regulatory compliant archives.

Metadata Enrichment

Tagging

Every archived file is tagged with its origin, owner, and retention period.

AI Firewall

The "AI Firewall" & Access Restricted Vaults

If a human doesn't need it daily, an AI shouldn't see it unauthorized. Our solution creates a "governed vault" for your archived data. Access is strictly on a 'need to know' basis to humans and AI indexing agents like Microsoft 365 Copilot or Google Gemini.

Security

Permission Scrubbing

Automatically resets permissions to "Authorized Only" upon archive. Every access is logged and auditable.

Risks Addressed

Automated Data Archiving & Isolation at Scale

While security and AI are the modern drivers, several critical "hidden" data organizational scenarios necessitate a robust archiving strategy, including storage costs, long term data preservation, platform retirement, mergers and acquisitions.

The "AI Leakage" Risk

  • Authorized and explicit access to LLMs, agents and Copilots archived data which may contain long term corporate memory, intellectual property and secrets.
  • Stay AI audit ready with clear tracking of retention and archival enforcement, clean datasets with improved AI accuracy.
  • Preserve historic data from acquired / divested companies with governance around accessibility of curated data to AI.

Operational & Performance Drag

  • Save 10X on exponentially rising cloud storage and backup costs with archiving.
  • Control the ever-growing "blast radius" of a potential breach by automated archival of data based on rules.
  • Protect Sensitive "cold" data sitting on unsecured drives by archiving, supported by Infotechtion portal for self-service access request workflows.

Regulatory & Legal Exposure

  • Reduce your eDiscovery costs by 20X, shift from "keep everything" mindset to "Keep what you need, delete what you don't".
  • Privacy compliance by automated deletion demonstrating compliance to "Right to erasure".
  • Long term activity audit retention, supporting legal and regulatory compliance to demonstrate policy driven disposition.
