Soft Deletes & 30-Day Trash: Protect Your Organization from Accidental Data Loss
Accidentally deleted a vital API key or client password? Discover how Vaultify’s 30-Day Recovery Bin preserves deleted items and prevents catastrophic data loss.
Why Instant Permanent Deletion is Dangerous
In fast-paced collaborative environments, accidental deletions happen. A team member might delete an old project or prune a list of credentials, only to realize minutes later that a critical production database password was removed.
In legacy secret managers, hard-deleting an item immediately purges it from the database, requiring tedious database backups and server downtime to recover.
The Vaultify Recovery Bin System
Vaultify implements an enterprise Soft Delete & Recovery Bin architecture across all core resources: Secrets, Projects, Companies, and Categories.
How the Recovery Lifecycle Works:
- Soft Deletion: When an item is deleted, it is instantly hidden from the active vault and moved into the Trash & Recovery Bin.
- 30-Day Retention Window: Trashed items are preserved in encrypted form for 30 days.
- 1-Click Instant Restoration: Administrators and owners can restore individual items or restore the entire trash bin with a single click.
- Automated Nightly Purge: An automated background scheduler permanently wipes items that have exceeded the 30-day retention threshold, keeping your database clean and compliant.
