We have 15 years of unmanaged content and the audit is asking
SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams hold years of accumulated content with no retention policy applied. Legal has flagged that some categories should have been disposed of years ago; others must be kept indefinitely. The auditor wants evidence of an information lifecycle baseline.
Trigger — Audit finding; legal exposure on retained content.
Good outcome — Retention labels live for top categories, records management active for regulated content, disposal cadence operational.
