Soft delete retains deleted vaults/keys for 90 days; purge protection blocks force-delete during that window. Together they protect against scenarios where attackers delete keys to lock out the owner.
A scan reports where your tenant stands on this check — pass, fail with a step-by-step fix, or not applicable if your licensing doesn’t include the feature. When Tenant Strike can’t read a setting with read-only access, it says unverified and gives you a one-command way to confirm it yourself — it never guesses.
