How long must security check records be maintained?

Security check records must be maintained for a period of 3 years to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. This duration allows for sufficient time to review and analyze any potential issues that may arise from the records. It also enables organizations to track security trends and the effectiveness of their security protocols over time. Retaining records for less than this period may not provide enough data to identify patterns or address security concerns comprehensively, while maintaining records for more than 3 years could lead to unnecessary clutter and potential violations of records management policies. Therefore, the 3-year retention period strikes a balance between accountability and efficient management of security-related documents.
