Flexible implementation

Enable Object Lock on new or existing buckets and set the duration of your choosing. Choose from different hold types depending on your needs:

Governance Mode

Governance Mode can be modified or overridden by users with appropriate app key capabilities.

Compliance Mode

Compliance Mode cannot be removed by any user, but the retention date can be extended by users with appropriate app key capabilities.

Legal Hold

Legal Hold is not bound by a predetermined expiration date. Use Legal Hold when the time horizon is unknown or timing flexibility is needed.
