MTCS (Singapore) 12.7: Data retention

Data retention: no Level 1 requirement. Level 2 (a to e): retention according to legal, regulatory and business requirements; backups under the retention policy; secure deletion when data is no longer needed; periodic manual or automatic identification and deletion of data past its retention; and log retention long enough to serve as digital evidence required by regulators. Level 3 (a and b) adds a mechanism for customers to remove or destroy all their data, backups included, at contract end whether on expiry or early, and retention periods that meet regulators' requirements.
