Organisations are facing new regulatory enforcement of legal, government (local, state and federal), and industry rules regarding the retention of unaltered copies of data. This requirement is forcing organisations to come up with compliance management practices for managing their risk regarding data storage and more importantly data access if records are subpoenaed.

Common needs

The major concerns and needs of customers when looking at compliance archiving include:

• A Government or Industry requirement to maintain an email archive. This includes the ability to collect all email for a selected group of users.
• The ability to easily retrieve or access email for a given retention period for audit purposes. This must address the issue of technology obsolescence and redundancy for the long term preservation of the data.
• The ability to perform deep searches and retrievals of data with tight audit controls. This should include the ability to perform full text sampling and searching, with indexes being scalable and available for the entire retention period.

With some organisation now requiring up to 20 years of data archival capabilities, the above needs can seem daunting. Deploying a solution and discovering it cannot scale and grow as your organisations regulatory compliance needs change would be highly unattractive.
