Fortis Email Management Compliance, Risk and
Accessibility
2
Elements of Email Management?
  • eDiscovery
  • Speed of Retrieval
  • Disaster Recovery
  • Storage Management
  • Knowledge Management
  • PST Management
  • Centralized storage

3
Facts
  • Almost 80 of employees admit to sharing
    confidential information via email
  • In the last 12 months, 17 of Fortune 1000
    companies have had to disclose the content of
    corporate email as part of ongoing trials.
  • Email constitutes a written communication that
    carries the same formality and weight of a
    certified letter
  • Deleted email is never completely deleted

4
Facts
  • Deleting email on a regular basis is no guarantee
    an organization will not be held liable for
    producing email
  • 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
  • OK, but why do I need it?

6
Top 10 Reasons CIOs Buy Email Management
  • Because the SEC/FDA/ATF/DOT/FED is breathing down
    our neck
  • Because we should be proactive protecting against
    liabilities (removing PST files, malicious
    deleting, legal.)
  • Because we have no place to store current/past
    employee contacts/calendars/tasks and email
    correspondence
  • Because we just got sued for A LOT of money
  • Because we have no long term strategy for email

7
Top 10 Reasons CIOs Buy Email Management
  • Because we have no security around current email
    archiving
  • Because our corporate emails are now accessible
    to our CRM, ERP, SIS, AP, EMR systems for
    back-up, problem resolution, approval and general
    reference
  • Because we just got audited and HIPPA/SOX/GLB
    tells us we need to
  • Because email archiving is part of a larger
    centralized initiative for content management
  • Because email management provides a valuable
    knowledge base for reference

8
  • Great, but how do I use it
  • within my business?

9
Archiving Events
  • Employee is terminated or leaves
  • Need to keep import contacts, calendar
    appointments, emails
  • But where do you put it back-up tapes dont
    provide access
  • Project, case or litigation is complete
  • Public folders or individual mail folders are
    archived
  • Retention schedule for general storage
  • Do you just let your Exchange hard drives
    fill-up?
  • After several years what happens to those hard
    drives
  • Manage real-time project correspondence
  • Collaborative environment

  • The Importance of Exchange Journaling to an
    Archive Solution

30
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

31
Why Journaling?
  • Organizations must maintain records of
    communication that occur when employees perform
    daily business tasks
  • 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)
  • Terrorism Act of 2001 (Patriot Act)
