Core Capabilities


Rule-Based Engine
Define custom lifecycle rules
based on rich metadata,
access dates, file type, location, owner status, sensitivity level,
and AI index status to manage content across the
entire estate.


Retention Policy
Recommendations
Surface configurable,
organization-controlled policy
sets and recommendations for
hiring CVs, contracts, financial
reports, and project files with
built-in legal-hold checks.


Approval Flows & Impact Analysis
Prevent risky bulk operations by
routing archiving and deletion
recommendations through strict
administrative sign-offs,
displaying detailed impact
analysis before anything moves.


Full Governance &
Auditing
Every single lifecycle action is written to the platform audit log, with completed cleanup campaigns generating exportable progress reports tracking storage reclaimed and risk reduced.

How It Works

Archiving Old Projects

FileOrbis identifies candidate folders, routes them through owner approval, moves them to archive storage, and removes them from the AI index.

Reassigning Departed Data

The system flags ownerless files from departed employees,
groups them by department,
and enables bulk ownership
reassignment campaigns.

Reducing Document Duplicates

FileOrbis detects identical files
across folders, designates one
master copy, sets the rest to
read-only, and cleans the AI
index.

Reviewing Sensitive Data

The platform automatically
flags untouched aging
archives containing personal
data and routes the retention
decision directly to the data
owner.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can we help you?

Through configurable rules combining signals such as last opened, last modified, last shared, last downloaded, and created dates with context like owner status, workflow usage, AI-index membership, and legal-hold state.

FileOrbis flags them as ownerless and proposes a likely new owner (for example, the most frequent accessor, folder owner, or department manager), so admins can reassign ownership in bulk through a campaign.

No. Deletion and archiving run through approval flows and use soft-delete or quarantine, impact analysis is shown beforehand, and legal-hold content is protected from these actions.

Yes. Lifecycle state drives AI-index inclusion, so stale, duplicate, and retired content can be excluded automatically – keeping AI retrieval focused on current, relevant documents.

Yes. Every lifecycle action is recorded in the audit log, and completed campaigns report storage reclaimed and risk reduced.
