In some embodiments, there is provided a computer-implemented method for data destruction management including creating a data destruction object linked to a custom object; creating an
information lifecycle management object linked to the data destruction object; grouping the
information lifecycle management object into an audit area comprising
information lifecycle management objects having a similar context, wherein a
data retention policy is created, while in the audit area, for the information lifecycle
management object; scheduling a data destruction batch job selecting a data destruction object for destruction which is mapped to information lifecycle
management object; and destroying, based on the scheduling, one or more data of the customized object; and verifying the destroy based on a check of a destruction logRelated systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.
