9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the integrity record comprises a regulated content item ID and a storage location, further comprising:

identifying the integrity record associated with the regulated content item according to the regulated content item ID associated with the regulated content item; and

interfacing with the non-regulated storage platform according to the storage location to retrieve the copy of the regulated content item stored on the non-regulated storage platform.

10 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising providing the regulated content item to a second user for approval.

11 . A system for storing and managing regulated content items on a non-regulated storage platform, comprising:

a processor for executing computer program instructions; and

a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer program instructions executable by the processor, the computer program instructions comprising:

instructions for receiving, from a first user, a request to create a regulated content item, content of the regulated content item subject to one or more regulations;

instructions for creating the regulated content item;

instructions for creating an integrity record associated with the regulated content item based on the content of the regulated content item;

instructions for providing the regulated content item to the non-regulated storage platform for storage; and

instructions for verifying an integrity of the regulated content item stored on the non-regulated storage platform based at least in part on the integrity record.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the creating the integrity record comprises calculating a first integrity check associated with the regulated content item based on the content of the regulated content item.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the verifying the integrity of the regulated content item comprises:

retrieving a copy of the regulated content item stored on the non-regulated storage platform;

calculating a second integrity check based on content of the retrieved copy of the regulated content item;

comparing the first integrity check to the second integrity check;

responsive to determining that the first integrity check and the second integrity check are identical, confirming the integrity of the regulated content item stored on the non-regulated storage platform; and

responsive to determining that the first integrity check different from the second integrity check, determining that the regaled content item stored on the non-regulated storage platform fails the integrity verification.

14 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the first integrity check is a checksum and the calculating the first integrity check associated with the regulated content item comprises hashing the content of the regulated content item.

15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the computer program instructions further comprise:

instructions for receiving, from the non-regulated storage platform, at least one of a file name of and a storage location of the regulated content item stored on the non-regulated storage platform; and

instructions for updating the integrity record to include the at least one of the file name of and the storage location of the regulated content item.
