Redis Archiving for Compliance-Sensitive Cache and Session Data
Redis is built for speed. Data expires. Memory evicts. That design is appropriate for caching — it is a compliance liability when the data in question includes payment transaction states, fraud signals, authentication events, or session records carrying GDPR, PCI DSS, or financial services obligations.
Archon’s Redis Connector captures and archives Redis key-value stores, sorted sets, streams, and RDB/AOF snapshots before TTL expiry or memory eviction — and makes them permanently accessible in open Parquet/Delta Lake format. No Redis runtime required post-archive.
- Key-value pairs, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, streams, RDB snapshots, AOF logs
- Redis Streams event data archived with consumer group state and offset metadata
- TTL-aware extraction to capture data before expiry
- GDPR, PCI DSS, CCPA, SEC, and FINRA retention policy support
Capabilities
Everything You Need for Redis Data Operations
Point-in-time Redis snapshot archiving
Redis RDB snapshots and AOF logs captured — archiving the complete in-memory state at a defined point in time. Configurable snapshot frequency ensures compliance data is captured before TTL expiry or memory eviction.
Redis Streams event log preservation
Redis Streams event data — consumer group state, entry IDs, and field values — extracted and archived with full temporal context. Satisfies audit trail and event log retention requirements.
Fraud detection signal archiving
Fraud detection signals, risk scores, and account risk state data stored in Redis archived as immutable records — providing the complete event history required for AML investigations and financial crime compliance.
Session and authentication record compliance
GDPR Article 15 data subject access requests requiring session-stored personal data fulfilled from the Archon Redis archive — without a live Redis instance or application team involvement.
Use Cases
How Enterprises Use the Redis Connector
01 Payment transaction state archiving
Payment platforms storing transaction states, idempotency keys, and authorization records in Redis archive before TTL expiry — satisfying PCI DSS Requirement 10.7 audit trail retention requirements.
02 Fraud detection signal preservation
Financial services organizations storing fraud risk signals and account risk scores in Redis archive those signals as immutable records for AML investigations and BSA/AML examination responses.
03 GDPR session data compliance
Consumer applications storing personal data in Redis sessions satisfy GDPR Article 15 data subject access requests through Archon's Redis archive — without live Redis access or engineering team involvement.
04 Application migration Redis state preservation
Applications migrating from Redis to a new caching layer or cloud-native key-value store use Archon to snapshot Redis state before migration — preserving the complete operational record for compliance and audit purposes.

How It Works
Up and Running in 4 Steps
01
Connect to Redis
Authenticate via Redis native protocol to Redis Community, Enterprise, or Cloud. Archon auto-discovers all key namespaces, data structures, and Redis Streams within the instance. 02
Map & Configure
Define key namespace scope, data structure handling, RDB snapshot frequency, and jurisdiction-specific retention schedules. Configure TTL-aware extraction to capture data before expiry. 03
Validate & Preview
Dry-run against sample Redis key namespaces. Quality report flags TTL expiry risks, data structure anomalies, and stream consumer group state issues. 04
Archive & Monitor
Redis data normalized to Parquet with schema structure preserved. Cryptographic hashes applied per key batch. Searchable via Archon Analyzer on ingestion.FAQ
Common Questions About the Redis Connector
- 1. How does Archon capture Redis data before TTL expiry?
Configurable extraction schedules aligned with key TTL windows. For critical key namespaces, continuous extraction can be configured to ensure no data is lost to eviction.
- 2. Can Archon archive Redis Streams with consumer group state?
Yes. Entry IDs, field values, consumer group names, and last-delivered-ID state all captured.
- 3. Can archived Redis data satisfy PCI DSS audit trail requirements?
Yes. WORM-immutable, cryptographically hashed Redis archive satisfies PCI DSS Requirement 10.7 for payment transaction states and authentication events.
