What are the technical considerations for protecting corporate data used by former employees? 

If you’re using a SaaS data management solution like Vaultastic, most of the technical concerns are handled for you. Vaultastic offers a fully managed, scalable, and secure service, so there’s no need for hardware on your end. Your main task would be to collate legacy employee data and migrate it to the platform, while also initiating automatic capture of employee data going forward.

On the other hand, if you opt for an on-premises or hosted solution for corporate data retention, you will need to design for scale, security, and reliability—a much more complex and resource-intensive process.
