Redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) information likely dominates your content stores. Whether it's your network file shares, EFSS locations such as Box and Dropbox, or even your e mail accounts, a large portion of content is essentially useless. While storage of this information may not be expensive on a relative scale, keeping it makes finding the information harder, increases the cost of eDiscovery, and leads to the wrong data being used.

This causes enough problems by itself, but when you then add to the pile all the redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) information you have in your systems, on your file shares, and in every other possible location, it’s a real nightmare. Don’t Let Your Information ROT. Don’t Collect It: As I’ve written in other contexts, the first step to dealing with ROT effectively is not to collect it in the first place.

Data management and quality is a fundamental records management process that supports the elimination of redundant, obsolete and transitory (ROT) data that costs an organization time and money with increased storage cost and legal risk. Getting rid of ROT is the easiest thing any organization can do to improve its data quality and efficiency simply because the less ROT you have, the faster you can find what you need.

Within a cryptographic system that uses asymmetric cryptography, there is typically a Root of Trust (ROT) that can generally be trusted. ROT is most often protected by a hardened hardware module like an HSM. Organizations are actively working to prevent data breaches by encrypting their sensitive information. Encryption isn’t a foolproof security measure, however.

62% of organizations have essentially given up on the ROT problem, relegating it to manual approaches or simply keeping everything. Back in the day, when work was centralized in locations and on devices “within” the enterprise, it was reasonable to assume that control could most effectively be maintained by managing security at the firewall. Information security was largely a function of “keeping the bad guys out.”.

That is, SharePoint is implemented and used very haphazardly: metadata is not standardized (where it exists at all), users create sites for a multitude of purposes, and then don't manage them; and a significant amount of the information created or pulled into SharePoint is redundant, outdated, or trivial (ROT), all of which make it harder for users to find their information.
