Regulatory Compliance

What is Regulatory Compliance?
 

Ensuring that an organization is complying with all of the federal, state and industry-specific regulations across all departments and business units can be challenging. Whether it's financial data in emails, files stored in SharePoint or Dropbox, instant messages or even text messages—the data needs to be kept secure and adequately supervised.

While the stringent regulatory requirements imposed by entities, such as the U.S.-based Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA)  have driven many financial services organizations to deploy an archiving solution, many non-financial services companies also have to comply with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, GLBA and HIPAA and ensure that confidential and personal information is protected - wherever it resides. 

Since regulatory compliance requirements are constantly evolving, it is important to find an archiving solution that can capture content beyond email and attachments. The right solution will archive a wide variety of content types, including:

  • Social Media
  • Instant Messages
  • Text Messages
  • SharePoint files
  • Salesforce.com Chatter posts
  • Dropbox/Box files

An archiving system will help to automatically enforce compliance regulations and policies internally, while providing a clear audit trail in the event that regulators come knocking.
