Retention & RPO Compliance

Retention & RPO Compliance is a skill for Claude Code from WYRE-AI/msp-claude-plugins. It costs 94 tokens per session (1,734 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Guidance for comparing a client's promised backup retention and RPO with the settings and results produced by the backup system.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reviewing retention windows, measuring achievable recovery points from backup history, and identifying configuration or storage-related shortfalls.
Why use it?
It finds gaps between service agreements and actual protection, such as keeping data for fewer months or having older recovery points than promised.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

Retention & RPO Compliance scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Retention & RPO Compliance

Overview

Retention and RPO commitments are made in two places that routinely drift apart: the contract or SOW (what was promised — "1-year retention," "4-hour RPO") and the actual backup system configuration (what's actually happening — a 90-day local retention policy, a nightly-only backup schedule). Nobody discovers the gap until a restore request for month 8 of a promised 12-month retention window comes back empty, or a ransomware event reveals that the "4-hour RPO" client's most recent recovery point is actually 22 hours old. This skill exists to find that gap proactively by comparing what's promised against what's configured — not to audit whether backups are running (backup-job-health) or recoverable (restore-test-verification), both of which are prerequisites to this check actually meaning anything.

Anti-triggers

  • Framework or control compliance — "compliance" here means a contracted retention window and RPO target, not CIS/SOC 2/HIPAA control evidence; for that use evidence-mapping in compliance-pack.
  • Reading the agreement itself — pulling a client's contract terms, services, or renewal dates is the PSA's surface; use autotask-contracts or halopsa-contracts.

Key Concepts

Retention: contracted vs. configured

Retention is the length of time recovery points remain available for restore. The check here is mechanical but frequently skipped: pull the contracted/required retention value (from a documentation platform, contract record, or explicit org policy) and the actual configured retention window from the backup/BCDR tool itself, and compare them directly.

Two distinct gap types matter differently:

  • Configured-shorter-than-contracted — e.g. contract specifies 1-year retention, appliance is configured for 90 days. This is a direct compliance failure: the MSP is not delivering what was promised, and a restore request past the configured window will simply fail. Always the higher-severity finding.
  • Storage-forced truncation — retention is configured correctly, but the appliance is running out of local storage and silently purging older recovery points before the configured window elapses (see backup-job-health's storage- trending section for the leading indicator). This is a compliance failure with a different root cause and a different fix (capacity, not configuration) — report it distinctly rather than merging it with a simple misconfiguration.
