The review backlog.
The PIRM Code of Practice (2023) replaced MoPI, broadening scope beyond operational records to include police corporate information. The expectation stayed the same: Review, Retain and Dispose to schedule. Manual review can no longer keep pace. Lightning IQ, delivered by Harmony House as the only Authorised Distributor in EMEA, operationalises RRD across your estate.
The operational blind spot.
The goal of PIRM is clear: retain only necessary information. Yet achieving compliance today is built on a systemic flaw. Your teams are drowning in a torrent of unstructured data, and if you cannot see it, you cannot govern it.
Over 90%of police data is unstructured “dark data”, reports, chat logs and body-worn video residing in legacy silos.
Every file retained past its review date increases exposure to Subject Access Requests (SARs), legal challenges and undermines public trust.
Inside-out PIRM assurance.
Transform from reactive chore to proactive governance.
The solution is not to hire more analysts; it is to implement a hyper-scale data intelligence layer. We deliver Lightning IQ so you have the speed and control to enforce PIRM policy, including the MoPI review schedules still in daily operational use, across your entire estate.
Hyper-speed discovery
Lightning IQ indexes live storage at 1 petabyte per hour, eliminating the “dark data” problem by seeing every file across your network.
Automated review
Stop reviewing every file manually. Content (PII, custody records) is automatically flagged and linked to MoPI retention groups 1 to 7 and the PIRM review schedule instantly.
Defensible disposal
Enforce disciplined data minimisation. Safely archive or delete obsolete data with clear, auditable disposition trails for regulators.
Operationalise your strategy.
Continuous visibility
Don't rely on snapshot audits. Maintain a real-time inventory of your data estate, ensuring new data is categorised correctly from day one.
Cyber resilience (inside-out defence)
By removing millions of obsolete files, you immediately reduce the attack surface and lower the risk of data exposure if a breach occurs.
Programmatic remediation
Orchestrate bulk actions to encrypt, move or delete data based on policy, turning manual backlog clearing into an automated background process.
Take the challenge.
Schedule a 30-minute diagnostic scan. We'll show you how quickly Lightning IQ can expose your PIRM retention backlog and quantify the volume of dark data in your environment.
