# Compliance Search and Legal Hold for HIPAA

This section describes how the Commvault software addresses the following HIPAA rules:

- "Implement policies and procedures to protect electronic protected health information from improper alteration or destruction.” (Integrity, Section 164.312(c)(1))

Administrators can identify a specific set of information to be retained for a specific length of time.

## Legal Hold

Identify and segregate relevant data that is found during a data discovery operation and preserve it for a long term.

The Legal Hold feature uses a highly accurate policy based approach to search and restore legal information from backups and archives or any electronically found data (for example emails and files) and retain a subset of the data for long term retention. This feature is especially useful, when you have to search legal data from multiple retention policies and archive them to a Legal Hold with a specific retention policy.
