Assistant Memory Hygiene Review (Retention)
- 01
Inventory every assistant memory store tied to client accounts
List each tool that persists context, from on-device databases to cloud-synced logs, and note who holds administrative access.
- 02
Classify stored data by sensitivity and retention requirement
Tag records containing financial details, health information, or contractual terms, then map them against client data-processing agreements.
- 03
Verify encryption and access controls on each memory repository
Confirm that stored transcripts and files are encrypted at rest and that only named staff can query the assistant's memory.
- 04
Purge stale or obsolete client context quarterly
Remove records from closed projects or superseded briefs to reduce the risk of the assistant acting on outdated instructions.
- 05
Test assistant recall against a set of known client facts
Ask each assistant to retrieve specific details from past engagements and compare answers against source documents to spot context drift.
- 06
Document any memory-related incidents and corrective actions
Log cases where the assistant surfaced wrong or sensitive information, then update governance rules to prevent recurrence.
