Check summary
What this check verifies
An event-based retention label is not bound to a retention event type.
Why it matters
Event-based retention labels start their retention clock when a named event fires (employee termination, contract close, etc).
How to fix it
Without an event type binding, the label can never trigger and its retention will never start, which silently breaks the records retention contract.
Siemserva flags every tenant where this check fails and, with Senserva Trustworthy AI remediation, can propose a validated fix you approve before it applies.
