New regulations in the US are requiring companies to retain extensive records about their operations, for periods as long as 30 years. These records must be managed in special ways to ensure that they are trustworthy, i.e., accurate and available when needed. In response to these new regulations, a large market for compliance storage devices has developed in just a few years. In this talk, I will explain what compliance storage is, and talk about how to create a trustworthy index for compliance documents.
