SaaS-based email archive simplifies eDiscovery
As email is the dominant form of business communication today, it is increasingly becoming a critical part of the discovery process for legal proceedings. For electronic discovery, or eDiscovery, organizations may be required to produce specific email communications as well as information about an email which may include:
- proof of delivery/receipt
- copies of pre-post disclaimers and marketing within email
- policies applied to each email
- proof that email and attachments have not been tampered with or deleted
- history of access and searches performed on email
Satisfying the demands of eDiscovery requires a robust email management system. Mimecast offers a software-as-a-service (SaaS)-based solution that not only simplifies eDiscovery, but also minimizes the cost and administrative burden of complying with eDiscovery requirements.

Mimecast provides a unified email management platform that not only facilitates eDiscovery but delivers a comprehensive solution for administering all aspects of email management. With this single service, you can avoid the typical stack of email technologies-gateways, anti-spam systems, email archives, continuity facilities, -and easily implement a solution that will simplify management, lower cost, and increase security and continuity of email.
Mimecast's email archive solution is the key to making eDiscovery simple and cost-effective. Mimecast can automatically archive emails in multiple secure offsite storage facilities for up to 10 years-most eDiscovery proceedings will require no more than five years worth of data.

Human resources professionals, attorneys, and other authorized users can easily search the entire database for any email that may be needed for eDiscovery.
Equally important for eDiscovery is Mimecast's ability to provide full audit trails on every search and every access of retained email, as well as details about system access, policy creation, and revisions. Mimecast supports authentication against your own Microsoft Active Directory as well as a local security database-and each file is encrypted.

“The Mimecast system allows us to offload all the hassle of capacity planning for the next ten years of storage without sacrificing any of the control”
Butterfield Bank Cayman
“Our old means of storage meant we were unable to search or select specific messages. Now, we can archive all emails for up to seven years in a system that’s as safe as a bank’s vault but our audit group also has a simple means of quickly and easily retrieving any email.”
