Email compliance and the law

Retaining company data and communications is now a real responsibility of the business. Industry regulators and government bodies are encouraging and prescribing legislative rules governing record management and retention, including:

  • FRCP
  • Basel 1
  • SOX
  • HIPAA
  • PCI
  • MiFID

A recent independent survey carried out by e-Media on the 'Inhibitors to determining an archive policy' showed 14% of IT Managers were 'uncertain about legislation' whilst 10% 'faced unclear guidelines from the business'.
