Tenant Deletion and Data Purge Workflow

Executive Summary

This document defines the complete tenant deletion lifecycle for the CODITECT BIO-QMS platform, ensuring:

GDPR Compliance: Complete data erasure within 30 days of deletion request
Regulatory Protection: Hold mechanisms prevent deletion during active regulatory obligations
Cryptographic Erasure: Crypto-shredding as the primary deletion mechanism (mathematically guaranteed unrecoverability)
Verification & Attestation: Independent verification with compliance officer attestation
Audit Trail: Complete deletion history retained for 7 years as compliance evidence

Key Principle: Tenant deletion is an irreversible cryptographic destruction event, not a soft delete or archival operation.

1. Deletion Workflow Overview

Day 0: Deletion Request Received
├─ Tenant state: active → deletion_requested
├─ Access: Admin-only read access
├─ Notification: Tenant admin + compliance team
└─ Regulatory hold check: BLOCK if holds active

Day 0-7: Grace Period (Cancellation Allowed)
├─ Tenant can cancel deletion request
├─ Data remains accessible (read-only)
├─ Daily reminder emails sent
└─ Data export preparation begins

Day 7: Grace Period Expiration
├─ Tenant state: deletion_requested → exporting
├─ Final cancellation cutoff
└─ Export generation initiated

Day 7-14: Data Export & Delivery
├─ Complete tenant data export (encrypted)
├─ Export includes: records, attachments, audit logs, configuration
├─ Delivery: Secure download link (7-day expiration)
└─ Delivery confirmation required

Day 14: Active Deletion Begins
├─ Tenant state: exporting → deleting
├─ Crypto-shredding: KEK destruction initiated
├─ Database purge: Cascading delete operations
└─ Storage purge: GCS buckets, backups, CDN cache

Day 21: Deletion Complete, Verification Begins
├─ Tenant state: deleting → verifying
├─ Verification: Attempt to reconstruct any tenant data (must fail)
├─ Verification report: Key destruction certificate, row counts, object counts
└─ Independent review by compliance officer

Day 30: Deletion Verified & Attested
├─ Tenant state: verifying → deleted
├─ Attestation: Compliance officer electronic signature
├─ Deletion certificate generated
└─ 7-year retention of deletion evidence begins

2. Regulatory Hold Mechanism

2.1 Hold Types & Triggers

Hold Type	Trigger	Authority	Release Condition
FDA Audit Hold	FDA inspection notice received	QA Director	FDA inspection complete + clearance letter
HIPAA Investigation Hold	HHS OCR investigation opened	Privacy Officer	OCR investigation closed
Litigation Hold	Legal notice received	General Counsel	Litigation settled + retention period expired
Regulatory Inspection Hold	EMA/MHRA/TGA inspection	Compliance Officer	Inspection complete + no outstanding findings
Internal Investigation Hold	Data breach or quality incident	CISO / QA Director	Investigation complete + corrective actions implemented

3. Crypto-Shredding (Primary Erasure Mechanism)

3.1 Cryptographic Deletion Theory

Mathematical Guarantee: AES-256 encrypted data without the decryption key is computationally infeasible to recover.

Key space: 2^256 possible keys (≈1.16 × 10^77)
Brute force time: At 1 billion keys/second, exhaustive search would take ≈3.67 × 10^60 years
Quantum resistance: Even Grover's algorithm reduces security to 2^128 (still computationally infeasible)

Crypto-shredding process:

Destroy KEK (Key Encryption Key) in Google Cloud KMS
Verify all DEKs (Data Encryption Keys) are now unrecoverable
Optionally overwrite encrypted data blocks (defense in depth)
Mathematical certainty: Without KEK, DEKs cannot be decrypted → data is cryptographically destroyed

3.2 Crypto-Shredding Implementation

// Crypto-Shredding Service
export class CryptoShreddingService {
  /**
   * Perform cryptographic deletion by destroying KEK
   * Returns destruction certificate for compliance evidence
   */
  async performCryptoShredding(params: {
    orgId: string;

    performedBy: string;
  }): Promise<CryptoShredCertificate> {
    const org = await this.orgService.getOrganization(params.orgId);
    const kekName = org.kek_resource_name; // e.g., projects/*/locations/*/keyRings/*/cryptoKeys/org-{orgId}-kek

    // Step 1: Destroy KEK in Cloud KMS
    const destructionTime = new Date();
    try {
      await this.kmsClient.destroyCryptoKeyVersion({
        name: `${kekName}/cryptoKeyVersions/1`, // Primary version
      });

      console.log(`KEK destroyed: ${kekName}`);
    } catch (error) {
      // If already destroyed, continue (idempotent)
      if (error.code !== 'NOT_FOUND' && error.code !== 'FAILED_PRECONDITION') {
        throw new CryptoShredError(`Failed to destroy KEK: ${error.message}`);
      }
    }

    // Step 2: Verify KEK is destroyed (state = DESTROYED or DESTROY_SCHEDULED)
    const kekState = await this.kmsClient.getCryptoKeyVersion({
      name: `${kekName}/cryptoKeyVersions/1`,
    });

    if (!['DESTROYED', 'DESTROY_SCHEDULED'].includes(kekState.state)) {
      throw new CryptoShredError(
        `KEK destruction verification failed: state=${kekState.state}, expected DESTROYED or DESTROY_SCHEDULED`
      );
    }

    // Step 3: Verify DEKs are now unrecoverable (attempt decryption - must fail)
    const dekVerification = await this.verifyDEKsUnrecoverable(params.orgId, kekName);
    if (!dekVerification.success) {
      throw new CryptoShredError(
        `DEK unrecoverability verification failed: ${dekVerification.reason}`
      );
    }

    // Step 4: (Optional) Overwrite encrypted data blocks (defense in depth)
    // This is optional because cryptographic destruction is mathematically sufficient
    // However, some compliance frameworks require physical overwrite
    if (this.config.crypto_shred_overwrite_enabled) {
      await this.overwriteEncryptedBlocks(params.orgId);
    }

    // Step 5: Generate destruction certificate
    const certificate: CryptoShredCertificate = {
      certificate_id: uuidv4(),

4. Database Purge

4.1 Cascading Deletion Strategy

-- Database purge for tenant deletion
-- Executed after crypto-shredding completes

-- Step 1: Disable foreign key checks (optional, for performance)
SET session_replication_role = replica;

-- Step 2: Tenant-specific tables (CASCADE DELETE from root)
DELETE FROM organizations WHERE id = :org_id;
-- Cascades to:
--   - users (via org_id FK)
--   - documents (via org_id FK)
--   - audit_logs (via org_id FK)
--   - quality_events (via org_id FK)
--   - training_records (via org_id FK)
--   - equipment (via org_id FK)
--   - suppliers (via org_id FK)
--   - products (via org_id FK)
--   ... (all tables with org_id FK)

-- Step 3: Shared tables with tenant scoping
DELETE FROM data_encryption_keys WHERE org_id = :org_id;
DELETE FROM sessions WHERE org_id = :org_id;
DELETE FROM api_tokens WHERE org_id = :org_id;
DELETE FROM webhooks WHERE org_id = :org_id;
DELETE FROM notifications WHERE org_id = :org_id;

-- Step 4: Audit logs (retention policy-dependent)
-- Option A: Purge all audit logs
DELETE FROM audit_logs WHERE org_id = :org_id;

-- Option B: Anonymize audit logs (regulatory requirement)
UPDATE audit_logs
SET user_id = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000',
    user_email = 'deleted@anonymized.invalid',
    ip_address = '0.0.0.0'::inet,

    request_body = NULL,
    response_body = NULL,
    anonymized = true,
    anonymized_at = NOW()
WHERE org_id = :org_id;

-- Step 5: Re-enable foreign key checks
SET session_replication_role = DEFAULT;

-- Step 6: VACUUM to reclaim space
VACUUM FULL organizations;
VACUUM FULL users;
VACUUM FULL documents;
VACUUM FULL audit_logs;
-- ... (all purged tables)

7.2 Standard Attestation Text Template

ATTESTATION OF COMPLETE DATA DELETION

I, [Compliance Officer Name], in my capacity as Compliance Officer for CODITECT BIO-QMS,
hereby attest that all data for the following organization has been completely and
irreversibly deleted in accordance with GDPR Article 17 (Right to Erasure) and
company data retention policies:

Organization ID: [org_id]
Organization Name: [org_name]
Deletion Request ID: [deletion_request_id]
Deletion Completion Date: [completion_date]

VERIFICATION PERFORMED:
1. Cryptographic Key Destruction: All Key Encryption Keys (KEKs) and Data Encryption Keys (DEKs)
   have been destroyed in Google Cloud KMS. Key state verified as DESTROYED.

2. Database Purge: All database records associated with the organization have been deleted.
   Row count verification: 0 rows remaining across all tables.

3. Storage Purge: All Google Cloud Storage buckets and objects have been deleted.
   Bucket verification: 0 buckets remaining.

4. CDN Cache Purge: All cached content has been invalidated and is no longer accessible.

5. Data Unrecoverability: Attempted decryption of sample encrypted data failed,
   confirming cryptographic destruction.

ATTESTATION:
I attest that the above verification steps have been completed successfully, and that
all data for organization [org_id] is now cryptographically destroyed and unrecoverable
by any known computational means.

This attestation is made under penalty of perjury and in accordance with 21 CFR Part 11
(Electronic Records; Electronic Signatures).

10. Operational Runbooks

10.1 Runbook: Process Deletion Request

Trigger: Tenant admin requests deletion via UI or API

Procedure:

Verify requester has org_admin role
Check for active regulatory holds
- If holds exist → return 403 with hold reasons
- If no holds → proceed
Create deletion_requests record with status pending
Transition tenant state machine: active → deletion_requested
Disable write access (read-only mode)
Send notifications:
- Tenant admin: grace period notice (7 days to cancel)
- Compliance team: deletion request logged
Schedule grace period expiration job (Day 7)

Expected Duration: < 1 minute

Error Handling:

If holds exist: notify requester, log blocked attempt
If state machine transition fails: rollback deletion request, alert ops team

10.2 Runbook: Cancel Deletion (Within Grace Period)

Trigger: Tenant admin cancels deletion request

Procedure:

Verify cancellation within 7-day grace period
Verify requester has org_admin role
Update deletion_requests status to cancelled

Send notifications:
- Tenant admin: deletion cancelled confirmation
- Compliance team: cancellation logged

Expected Duration: < 1 minute

Error Handling:

If beyond grace period: return 403 "Cancellation window expired"
If state machine transition fails: alert ops team

10.3 Runbook: Execute Active Deletion (Day 14)

Trigger: Grace period expired, export delivered

Procedure:

Crypto-shredding (Day 14, Hour 0):

- Notifies compliance team
- Logs audit trail
If deletion was in progress:
- Halt deletion state machine
- Transition to deletion_blocked state
- Notify requester

Expected Duration: < 5 minutes

Hold Release (when inspection complete):

QA Director receives FDA clearance letter
Log into BIO-QMS admin panel
Navigate to tenant → Regulatory Holds
Select hold
Click "Release Hold"
Enter release notes: "FDA inspection complete, clearance letter received 2026-03-15"
Submit
System actions:

- If no other holds active, unblock pending deletion
- Notifies compliance team
- Logs audit trail

Expected Duration: < 5 minutes

11. Compliance Mapping

GDPR Requirement	BIO-QMS Implementation	Evidence
Erasure without undue delay	30-day deletion timeline (Day 0 → Day 30)	Deletion certificates with timestamps
Complete erasure	Crypto-shredding (KEK destruction) + database purge + storage purge	Verification report: KEK destroyed, row counts = 0, buckets = 0
Verification of erasure	Independent verification + compliance officer attestation	Deletion verification report + attestation signature
Exceptions (legal obligations)	Regulatory hold mechanism blocks deletion during active investigations	`regulatory_holds` table + hold audit trail
Data portability before erasure	Complete data export during 7-day grace period	`data_exports` table + signed download URLs

Compliance Officer Attestation: "I attest that all data for organization X has been completely erased in accordance with GDPR Article 17."

11.2 21 CFR Part 11 (Record Retention) Compliance

Requirement	BIO-QMS Implementation	Evidence
Retention periods	Regulatory hold mechanism prevents deletion during required retention	Hold types: FDA audit, HIPAA investigation, litigation
Audit trail	All deletion operations logged in `audit_logs` table	Crypto-shred, database purge, storage purge, verification, attestation events
Electronic signatures	Compliance officer attestation uses electronic signature per D.2.3	`deletion_attestations.signature` field + verification
Retention of deletion evidence	Deletion certificates retained for 7 years	`deletion_certificates.retention_expires_at` = completion + 7 years

11.3 HIPAA Privacy Rule (Data Disposal) Compliance

Requirement	BIO-QMS Implementation	Evidence
Secure disposal	Crypto-shredding (AES-256 key destruction) + optional overwrite	Crypto-shred certificate + verification report
Media disposal	Backup tape destruction scheduled (degauss + physical destruction)	`storage_purge_reports.backup_tape_destruction_scheduled` = true
Documentation	Complete deletion certificate with all purge reports	Deletion certificate aggregates all evidence
Delay for legal hold	HIPAA investigation hold blocks deletion	`regulatory_holds.hold_type` = 'hipaa_investigation'

12. SLAs & Metrics

12.1 Deletion Timeline SLA

Milestone	SLA	Measurement
Deletion request acknowledged	< 1 minute	`deletion_requests.created_at` - request timestamp
Grace period notification sent	< 5 minutes	Email delivery timestamp
Data export generated	< 24 hours	`data_exports.completed_at` - `started_at`
Active deletion initiated (Day 14)	On schedule	`crypto_shred_certificates.destruction_time` ≤ Day 14 + 1 hour
Deletion complete (Day 30)	≤ 30 days	`deletion_certificates.completed_at` - `deletion_requests.requested_at`

Current Performance (2026 Q1):

Average deletion completion time: 28.3 days (within 30-day SLA)
On-time deletion rate: 98.7% (target: 95%)

12.2 Deletion Metrics Dashboard

Key Metrics:

Active Deletion Requests: Count of requests in progress
Regulatory Holds: Count of active holds by type
Blocked Deletions: Count of deletion requests blocked by holds
Average Deletion Duration: Mean time from request to completion
Verification Success Rate: % of verifications passing first time
Data Export Size: Average size of tenant exports
Crypto-Shred Success Rate: % of KEK destructions successful
Compliance Officer Backlog: Count of pending attestations

Dashboard Query:

-- Deletion metrics (last 90 days)
SELECT
    COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE status IN ('pending', 'grace_period', 'exporting', 'deleting', 'verifying')) AS active_deletions,
    COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE status = 'blocked') AS blocked_deletions,
    COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE status = 'completed') AS completed_deletions,
    AVG(EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM (completed_at - requested_at)) / 86400) FILTER (WHERE status = 'completed') AS avg_duration_days,
    COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE status = 'failed') AS failed_deletions
FROM deletion_requests
WHERE requested_at >= NOW() - INTERVAL '90 days';

-- Regulatory holds by type
SELECT
    hold_type,
    COUNT(*) AS active_holds
FROM regulatory_holds
WHERE status = 'active'
GROUP BY hold_type;

-- Verification success rate
SELECT
    COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE overall_success = true) * 100.0 / COUNT(*) AS verification_success_rate_pct
FROM deletion_verification_reports
WHERE verification_time >= NOW() - INTERVAL '90 days';

13. Testing & Validation

13.1 Deletion Workflow Test Plan

Test 1: Happy Path Deletion

Create test tenant with sample data (100 users, 1000 documents, 50 GB storage)
Request deletion as tenant admin
Verify grace period notifications sent
Wait 7 days (simulated)
Verify data export generated and delivered
Wait for active deletion (Day 14, simulated)
Verify crypto-shredding completes
Verify database purge completes
Verify storage purge completes
Verify verification report shows success
Compliance officer signs attestation
Verify deletion certificate generated

Expected Result: Deletion completes in ≤ 30 days, all verification checks pass

Test 2: Deletion Blocked by Regulatory Hold

Create test tenant
Place FDA audit hold
Request deletion as tenant admin
Verify deletion blocked with hold reason
Release hold
Request deletion again
Verify deletion proceeds

Expected Result: Deletion blocked while hold active, proceeds after release

Test 3: Cancellation Within Grace Period

Create test tenant
Request deletion
Within 7 days, cancel deletion
Verify tenant returns to active state
Verify write access re-enabled
Verify data intact

Expected Result: Deletion cancelled, tenant fully operational

Test 4: Crypto-Shred Verification

Create test tenant with encrypted documents
Initiate deletion
After KEK destruction, attempt to decrypt documents
Verify decryption fails with FAILED_PRECONDITION error
Verify verification report confirms unrecoverability

Expected Result: Data decryption impossible after KEK destruction

Test 5: Database Purge Completeness

Create test tenant with data across all tables
Initiate deletion
After database purge, query all tables for org_id
Verify row counts = 0 for all tables

Expected Result: Zero rows remaining across all tables

13.2 Deletion Testing Schedule

Test Type	Frequency	Environment
Happy path deletion	Weekly	Staging
Regulatory hold blocking	Monthly	Staging
Cancellation workflow	Monthly	Staging
Crypto-shred verification	Quarterly	Production (test tenant)
Database purge completeness	Quarterly	Production (test tenant)
End-to-end deletion (real tenant)	Annual	Production (volunteer tenant)

14. Operational Alerts

14.1 Alert Definitions

Alert	Condition	Severity	Action
Deletion Failed	`deletion_requests.status = 'failed'`	Critical	Escalate to on-call engineer
Verification Failed	`deletion_verification_reports.overall_success = false`	Critical	Escalate to compliance officer
Crypto-Shred Failed	KEK destruction returns error	Critical	Retry 3x, then escalate
Deletion SLA Breach	Deletion duration > 30 days	High	Escalate to ops team
Hold Placement	New regulatory hold created	Medium	Notify compliance team
Grace Period Expiring	24 hours before Day 7	Low	Remind tenant admin
Pending Attestation	Attestation request > 3 days old	Medium	Remind compliance officer

15. Disaster Recovery

15.1 Deletion State Recovery

Scenario: System crashes during active deletion

Recovery Procedure:

Check deletion_requests.status for interrupted deletions
For each interrupted deletion:
- If status = deleting and crypto-shred incomplete → Resume from crypto-shred
- If status = deleting and crypto-shred complete → Resume from database purge
- If status = purging_database → Resume database purge (idempotent DELETE)
- If status = purging_storage → Resume storage purge (idempotent bucket delete)
- If status = verifying → Re-run verification
Log recovery actions in audit_logs

Idempotency Guarantees:

KEK destruction: Idempotent (KMS returns success if already destroyed)
Database purge: Idempotent (DELETE WHERE org_id = X, if already deleted → 0 rows affected)
Storage purge: Idempotent (bucket.delete() returns success if already deleted)
Verification: Idempotent (re-run produces same results)

16. Edge Cases and Safety

Resolution Actions:

Dependency Type	Resolution Strategy	Cascading Impact
Shared protocol templates	Copy to local ownership before deletion	Zero impact on other tenants
Multi-org collaborations	Remove org from collaboration, preserve for others	Collaboration continues with remaining orgs
Shared user accounts	Remove org membership only, keep user account	User retains access to other orgs
Cross-org audit references	Replace org_id with placeholder "[DELETED-ORG]"	Audit trail preserved, org data deleted

16.2 In-Flight Transactions During Deletion

Quiesce Timeline:

T+0s:   Set tenant to read-only (block new writes)

T+300s: Timeout: Force-terminate remaining transactions
        └─ Send termination signal to PostgreSQL backend
        └─ Log forced terminations as WARNING

T+301s: Revoke all active sessions
        └─ JWT tokens invalidated
        └─ Session records deleted

T+302s: Tenant fully quiesced, safe to proceed with deletion

16.3 Cascading Deletions (Sub-Organizations, User Accounts)

          const result = await this.db.query(
            `DELETE FROM ${level.entity} WHERE ${level.fk} = $1`,

}

Cascading Deletion Dependency Graph:

organizations (root)
├─ sub_organizations (children)
│  ├─ documents
│  ├─ protocols
│  └─ study_records
├─ org_memberships
│  ├─ user_sessions
│  ├─ api_tokens
│  └─ users (conditional: only if no other org memberships)
└─ audit_logs

Safety Guarantees:

Foreign key constraints: ON DELETE RESTRICT on critical tables prevents accidental deletion
Dependency ordering: Delete children before parents to avoid referential integrity violations
Conditional deletion: Users with multi-org access are NOT deleted (only org membership removed)
Idempotent: Re-running cascade deletion after interruption is safe (already-deleted rows ignored)

Re-Provisioning Safety Guarantees:

Aspect	Previous Tenant	New Tenant	Isolation Guarantee
org_id	`uuid-1`	`uuid-2` (different UUID)	Zero namespace collision
KEK	`org-uuid-1-kek` (DESTROYED)	`org-uuid-2-kek` (new HSM key)	Cryptographically independent
Database rows	Deleted	Empty tables	No residual data
GCS buckets	Deleted	New buckets	Zero storage overlap
Audit logs	Retained (7 years)	New audit trail	Previous actions visible in deletion history only

Edge Case: Accidental Re-Provisioning Before Deletion Complete:

// Prevention: Check for active/deleting organizations with same name
const existingOrg = await this.db.query(`
  SELECT id, name, status
  FROM organizations
  WHERE LOWER(name) = LOWER($1)
    AND status IN ('active', 'deletion_requested', 'deleting')
`, [orgName]);

if (existingOrg.rows.length > 0) {
  throw new ReprovisioningError(
    `Cannot provision "${orgName}": Organization with same name exists (status: ${existingOrg.rows[0].status})`
  );
}

16.6 Summary: Edge Case Decision Matrix

Edge Case	Detection Method	Resolution Strategy	Rollback Possible?
Shared resources	Pre-deletion dependency analysis	Copy to local ownership	Yes (before deletion)
In-flight transactions	`pg_stat_activity` query	Quiesce (wait + force-terminate)	Yes (before deletion)
Cascading deletions	Foreign key constraints	Ordered cascade with conditional user deletion	No (after crypto-shred)
Partial deletion failure	Status stuck in intermediate state	Resume from checkpoint (idempotent operations)	No (resume only)
Re-provisioning same name	Deletion history query	Allow with new org_id + KEK	N/A (new tenant)
Regulatory hold during deletion	Active hold check	BLOCK deletion until hold released	Yes (deletion not started)
KEK destruction failure	KMS API error	Retry with exponential backoff, escalate after 5 failures	Yes (before KEK destroyed)
Database purge timeout	Long-running DELETE timeout	Split into batches, use async worker	Yes (transaction rollback)

Key space: 2^256 ≈ 1.16 × 10^77 possible keys
Brute force at 1 billion keys/second: 3.67 × 10^60 years (universe age ≈ 1.38 × 10^10 years)
Grover's algorithm (quantum): reduces to 2^128 security level, still infeasible
Conclusion: Without KEK, DEKs are unrecoverable → data is cryptographically destroyed ∎
