Email Archiving for Compliance, eDiscovery & Peace of Mind

Why Archiving Matters

Archiving creates an immutable, long-term repository of business communications so you can prove compliance, respond to legal matters, and maintain corporate oversight. Today, it’s not optional—71% of countries have consumer-privacy laws, and a single non-compliance event averages $4M in losses.

  • Email is the #1 attack path, and providers now enforce stricter authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC). We can bring your domain to DMARC enforcement and keep your archive full of trusted communications.

FAQs

What’s the difference between backup and archiving?

Backups are for rapid disaster recovery; archives are immutable, indexed, and built for compliance & eDiscovery (legal holds, search, export)

Can you import legacy mail (PST, MBOX, third-party archives)?

Yes. We plan the migration, validate counts and hashes, and preserve chain-of-custody for defensibility. 

How long should we retain?

We help map regulations and business needs into retention schedules (e.g., 3, 5, 7, or 10+ years) and implement policy-based deletion after expiration.
