Pressures Driving Email Management
  • Compliance
  • Storage
  • eDiscovery
  • Business Continuity
  • Corporate policies
  • PST management

4
Email Management Statistics
  • In the past 3 years, 81 of IT departments have
    been required to search back-ups to retrieve one
    or more emails
  • Almost 50 of organizations have been ordered by
    a court or regulatory body to produce email
  • 4 out of 5 users employ personal/local archives
    (PST) to store messaging system data

5
Why Email Management?
  • eDiscovery - Can your organization search across
    all mailboxes for eDiscovery purposes?
  • Speed of Retrieval An organization faced with
    the cost of satisfying a legal discovery order
    using nothing but backup tapes faces potentially
    major costs
  • Disaster Recovery fault-tolerant high
    availability access to emails when as disaster
    occurs. No need to restore back-up tapes.

6
Why Email Management?
  • Storage Management reduce storage space on the
    Exchange server, increase server performance and
    decrease back-up/recovery
  • Knowledge Management - Email systems have become
    the primary file transport mechanism and
    repository for most organizations. 90 of email
    users refer to old email when composing new email
  • Email Mining - extract knowledge from a company's
    rapidly expanding email stores, using specialized
    email archiving solutions
  • PST Management What happens if a users local
    PST file mysteriously disappears?

7
PST Management
  • Why Manage PST Files?
  • Difficult to locate
  • Hard to access/password protected
  • Lack of central management/user-created
  • Possible corruption issues
  • Contain proprietary business knowledge
  • Occupy valuable space
  • Difficult to back-up
  • Fortis Email Management can
  • Locate all PST files (network and desktop)
  • Report on PST files and their location
  • Access and manage content within desktop and
    network PST files
  • Export information out of PST Files
  • Enforce corporate policies within PST file and
    mailboxes files concurrently
  • Decrease the need for PST files

8
PST Management
  • Manage all (network and desktop) PST files
  • Apply the same rules to mailboxes and PST files
    alike
  • Locate and gather statistics on all PST files
    and mailboxes

  • Email Management and Compliance

10
Important Compliance Mandates
  • Broker-dealers must comply with a variety of
    retention and supervisory regulations, including
    SEC Rules 17a-3 and 17a-4 NASD Rules 2210 and
    3110 NYSE Rules 440, 342 and 472 and NFA Rule
    2-9.
  • Registered investment advisors must comply with
    new email retention provisions of Rule 204-2
    contained in the Investment Advisers Act.
  • The Investment Dealers Association of Canada
    imposes email retention and supervisory
    requirements on Canadian investment dealers
    through IDA By-law 29.7.
  • Other data retention requirements focused on the
    financial services space include NCUA Part 749,
    12 CFR 226.25, 17 CFR 270, 17 CFR 275 and 17 CFR
    240.
  • Large, public companies face regulatory
    requirements from statutes like Sarbanes-Oxley,
    specifically Sections 404 and 802.

11
Important Compliance Mandates
  • Organizations that manage healthcare-related
    information must satisfy statutes like the Health
    Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
    (HIPAA), the Medicare Conditions of
    Participation. Further, Medicare and Medicaid
    reimbursement to rural health clinics requires
    that these clinics maintain medical records for
    six years.
  • Contractors to the US federal government must
    satisfy provisions of the Federal Acquisition
    Regulation (FAR).
  • Almost all organizations, depending on the
    jurisdiction(s) in which they operate, are
    subject to regulations like the
    Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Californias SB 1386, the
    Americans with Disabilities Act, the Patriot Act,
    the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Civil
    Rights Act of 1964 and the Personal Information
    Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada),
    to name but a few of the many regulations that
    include data retention provisions.

12
What If You Dont Comply?
  • Ronald Perelman sued Morgan Stanley in a case in
    which Perelman alleged that Morgan Stanley did
    not uncover fraud at appliance maker Sunbeam.
    Because Morgan Stanley did not provide to the
    court emails that it was ordered to produce, the
    judge in the case told the jury that Morgan
    Stanleys failure to produce the emails was an
    act of bad faith Perelman won a 1.7 billion
    judgment. Further, in February 2006, the SEC
    fined Morgan Stanley 15 million because of their
    inability to produce the required emails in this
    case.
  • In March of 2004, Bank of America was fined 10
    million by the SEC for failure to a) continue to
    retain email records regarding a recent merger
    and b) for taking too long to comply with
    regulatory requests. The SEC charged that Bank of
    America misled regulators and took too long to
    produce evidence in an investigation of improper
    trading by employees at its securities brokerage.
    The bank complained that it would be too much
    work to produce certain archived emails it
    took the bank nearly two years to produce all of
    the emails that had been requested.
  • In December 2002, Salomon Smith Barney, Morgan
    Stanley, Piper Jaffrey Hopwood, Deutsche Bank
    and Goldman Sachs were fined a total of 8.25
    million because of their failure to adhere to SEC
    Rule 17a-4 which requires broker-dealers to
    preserve electronic data on non-rewritable,
    non-erasable storage.

13
Poor Martha
  • Imclone and Martha Stewart
  • Insider trading
  • It was during this time, Congress contends, that
    Mr Bacanovic left his cryptic message with Ms
    Stewart's office.
  • At 1.14pm he sent Mr Faneuil an email asking,
    "Has news come out yet? Let me know." Mr Faneuil
    responded "Noting (sic) yet. I'll let you know.
    No call from Martha either."

14
Important Facts to Know About Email
  • Email constitutes a written communication that
    carries the same formality and weight of a
    certified letter
  • Email is increasingly included in legal discovery
    orders. Courts are increasingly finding that
    email contains valuable content that can be of
    value in legal discovery proceedings
  • Deleted email is never completely deleted
  • Deleting email on a regular basis is no guarantee
    an organization will not be held liable for
    producing email

15
  • Now, lets review Fortis Email Management and how
    it can address what we just discussed

16

  • Archive all incoming and outgoing messages from
    the journal mailbox in native format
  • Search archived data for compliance reviews
  • Index archived messages and attachments for quick
    search results
  • Maintain audit trails of all activity within the
    archive

Fortis Email Management Benefits
  • Fortis Email Management (FEM) is the Only Archive
    Solution to Address all Essential Enterprise
    Requirements
  • Storage Management / Mailbox Management allows
    administrators to set granular attachment
    stubbing policies. When attachments are stubbed,
    they are removed from the Exchange data store but
    still accessible via the archive directly from
    the original Outlook message. With FEM, companies
    can provide infinitely expandable mailboxes while
    decreasing Exchange data stores by as much as
    80.
  • Record Retention Compliance Set granular
    retention and deletion policies using any
    criteria and FEM will make sure that messages are
    stored properly and deleted at the appropriate
    time.
  • Continuity Recovery FEM Email Archive ensures
    that companies will never lose access to email
    and that no message will ever be lost. In the
    event of an outage in your primary mail
    environment, Fortis Disaster Recovery allows
    users to activate a standby email system in less
    than 60 seconds and provide full email
    capabilities including direct access to
    historical email contained in the archive.
  • E-Discovery FEM makes it easy for legal counsel
    to search selected mailboxes or the entire
    environment using any search criteria.

20
Email Retention
  • Hierarchical Storage Management- move older/less
    critical data to secondary storage
  • Delete archived messages after retention period
    expires

21
eDiscovery and Searching
  • Administrator can search across all archives
    (messages and/or attachments)
  • Allow Compliance/Security Officer to conduct
    searches across the archives
  • Multi-threaded, simultaneous searching of
    individual indexes allows for faster responses

  • The Importance of Exchange Journaling to an
    Archive Solution

29
What is Journaling?
  • Journaling is the ability to record all
    communications in an organization.
  • It is important to understand the difference
    between journaling and archiving.
  • Journaling is the ability to record all email
    communications
  • Archiving refers to reducing the strain of
    storing data by backing it up, removing it from
    its native environment, and storing it elsewhere
  • You may use Exchange journaling as a tool in your
    e-mail retention or archival strategy

30
Why Journaling?
  • Organizations must maintain records of
    communication that occur when employees perform
    daily business tasks
  • The following is a list of regulations with
    requirements for journaling
  • Sarbanes-Oxley Act
  • SEC Rule 17A-4
  • NASD 3110 and 3111
  • Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (Financial Institution
    Privacy Protection Act of 2001, Financial
    Institution Privacy Protection Act of 2003)
  • Healthcare Insurance Portability and
    Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA)
  • Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing
    Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and
    Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Patriot Act)

31
Journal to Archive
32
Types of Journaling
  • Message-only journaling - sends a copy of a
    message to the journaling mailbox every time a
    user in a journal-enabled mailbox database sends
    or receives a message
  • Envelope journaling - provides a much more useful
    service because it records data about all
    recipients that a message is delivered to
  • To comply, you must show who actually received a
    particular message, regardless of whether they
    were on the Bcc line, or were a member of a
    distribution group that has since changed

33
Impact of Journaling
  • The main impact on infrastructure is the increase
    in network traffic because of enabling journaling
  • Storing 2 copies for each email
  • The impact is directly proportional to the number
    of users who are being journalized and how much
    mail is sent between mailbox databases in the
    organization

34
  • So, why cant I use Exchange to manage my emails?
