Problem

Many regulated industries require that data is persevered in a tamperproof way.

• Financial Service SEC-17a-4 http://www.17a-4.com/regulations-summary/
• Healthcare HIPPA https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/security/laws-regulations/
• Blockchain https://www.bbva.com/en/news/economy/financial-and-commercial-services/fintech/7-regulatory-challenges-facing-blockchain/

This could be applied to the current version of the data and/or to historic versions of the data (e.g. via a Temporal query).

Solution

Provide a mechanism that ensures the preservation of data, with the controls to manage access and privileges (e.g. drop / truncate etc.). This requires a full spec - this is not intended to be that spec, but a placeholder for prioritization etc.

Workaround
