Built for Governed Records Management

Retention is not just a date on a document. Teams need to know which policy applies, when retention starts, whether a legal hold blocks disposition, who approved cleanup, and whether the final action was recorded. FormKiQ helps connect retention rules, document metadata, access control, workflow, and audit history in one governed document layer.

Legal Hold and Defensible Disposition

FormKiQ helps teams prevent premature deletion when records are subject to legal hold, and supports defensible disposition when records are eligible for cleanup. Disposition can be reviewed, approved, logged, and tied back to the policy that governed the record.

Identify records eligible for disposition

Review records before final action
