The retention of company data is a legal question, not an IT question to answer. The reason it is a legal question is the the company is require to meet or exceed the data retention requirements of the SEC, SOX, IRS, external and internal audit requirements. If you do not have any other guidance keep security logs, logs that monitor administrative and configuration changes and usage, and logs that monitor changes in production data for a minimum of 15 months.
