## Automated Purging & Archival

Snapsec executes automated nightly retention jobs. Purged data is securely expunged following DoD 5220.22-M sanitization standards. In cloud and on-premise editions, historical data can be automatically archived to cold storage (AWS S3 Glacier, Google Cloud Storage Archive) prior to deletion.
