Legislation or just good business practice?

Growing corporate regulations

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'.
