Data Purging
Holding employee and candidate data beyond legally defined retention periods creates ongoing, unnecessary risk.
Epicenter helps Oracle Cloud HCM and Recruiting Cloud customers automatically and permanently purge data in line with defined retention policies, delivering compliance without ongoing manual effort.
Data Purging: Essential but challenging
Data purging is rarely urgent, until suddenly it is.
Oracle Cloud HCM systems hold large volumes of sensitive employee, worker and candidate data, much of which must only be retained for a defined period under data protection regulations.
In practice, data is rarely deleted on time, and manually identifying records that should be removed is complex, time‑consuming and prone to error. That creates compliance risk.
Epicenter’s data purging service is designed to make compliant data retention automated, consistent and defensible.
An automated approach
Designed once. Runs automatically.
Epicenter delivers data purging as a managed, repeatable service embedded into your day-to-day Oracle Cloud HCM operations.
Purging rules are defined once based on your retention policies and then executed automatically on a scheduled basis. Data is permanently deleted in line with your criteria – with appropriate controls – without ongoing manual intervention or operational overhead.
The result is a cleaner, more compliant HCM data landscape that remains under control as regulations, data volumes and business needs evolve.
Benefits
Eliminate compliance and audit exposure
Employee and candidate data is retained only for as long as legally required, with retention rules applied consistently and automatically, reducing risk during audits, data subject requests and investigations.
Remove manual risk from data deletion
Automated purging replaces time‑consuming, error‑prone manual tasks, reducing reliance on individuals to identify and delete data correctly.
Stay compliant as retention rules change
Purging rules can be adapted as regulations or policies evolve, ensuring your Oracle HCM data landscape remains compliant over time, without repeated clean‑up exercises.
