Secure, Lawful Data Retention for Telecoms

SSI Data Retention and Access System  (DRAS) system serves as a comprehensive solution to support compliance with the Telecommunications (Intercept and Access) Amendment (Data Retention) Act 2015. 

This Act mandates telecommunications companies to retain specific types of metadata—such as call records, IP addresses, location data, and account details—for a set period, enabling government authorities to access it as needed for national security and law enforcement purposes. 

DRAS provides an encrypted, centralized storage repository to securely retain data, ensuring that all retained information meets legal standards and is safeguarded against unauthorized access. With robust encryption protocols, DRAS prevents data breaches, protecting sensitive information while preserving its integrity over time. 

DRAS facilitates the process, allowing authorities, under strict legal parameters, to access  communications records in real time when necessary. By supporting both data retention and lawful interception, SSI provides telecom operators with an essential tool to navigate and fulfill complex regulatory requirements, mitigating compliance risks while contributing to broader public safety initiatives. 

This compliance-focused, security-driven system ensures seamless access to vital information by authorized entities, reinforcing the delicate balance between data availability and individual privacy.
