Stay in compliance and collect chat, text, documents and more with DataParser connector software

DataParser is connector software to bring various data types into the Mimecast archive. Typically used for Security and Compliance requirements, DataParser is designed for verifiable chain of custody and regulatory compliance. Archiving data for regulated users, HR requirements, remote work, IP, legal or corporate policies are common use cases. Financial firms, Government agencies, Education, Energy and Healthcare organizations all use DataParser.

Solution Overview

1. DataParser pulls data directly from source APIs, SFTP sites or databases. Chats are threaded into conversations, metadata is maintained, and files are attached. All data is encrypted in transit and no data is stored within DataParser.

2. Users' activities in source platforms are never interrupted by DataParser.

3. DataParser is for on-premise use and especially suited for strict security and data privacy policies. DataParser Cloud servers are hosted in a secure Azure environment with a dedicated Cloud Support Team to monitor processes. No client data is stored in Azure.

4. All data ingested by the archive is indexed and reconciled to users for easy eDiscovery.
