Why governance matters

Webex spaces can become cluttered and difficult to track. Governance policies help control who can create spaces, add members, and moderate communication.

Why retention matters

Compliance rules often require data to be retained or erased after specific periods. Retention policies reduce exposed data and support privacy requirements.

Why space management matters

Management and compliance teams need visibility into spaces, members, activity, external users, and security risks that are not easy to manage out of the box.
