EMAIL ARCHIVING & STORAGE ASSESSMENT

New government mandates such as HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, SEC 17a and NASD3010 require organizations to institute secure, auditable email storage and archiving systems. If not managed properly, email creates significant risks and costs for companies having to retrieve messages in response to legal queries.

Email archiving is a means to reduce your business and operational risks in relation to retaining and maintaining electronic information. It is also a way to lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) of your IT infrastructure, a way to efficiently manage the explosion in email volume.
