E-Mail Archiving for Regulatory Compliance

To address regulatory compliance and e-mail retention requirements, e-mail archive applications will copy incoming and outgoing messages and their attachments to an archive server, while performing message indexing during the copy process.

Message indexing is the process of creating a searchable index, based on the metadata of the message such as To, From, Subject, and the Date/Time Stamp. In addition to the metadata of the message, text in the body of the message, as well as the attachment, are indexed for the purpose of performing “text searches” within the archive.

Once messages and attachments are indexed and archived, auditors and compliance officers can perform a number of searches across the entire e-mail archive. These searches can include messages sent between two parties, messages sent within a certain date range, messages and attachments that contain certain words or phrases, or any combination of these search criteria.
In addition to the requirements for search and discovery of the e-mail archive, most regulatory agencies now require e-mail messages and attachments to be stored on a non-erasable, non-rewriteable media type.

To satisfy these strict storage requirements, many organizations are implementing UDO Optical Libraries to serve as a secure, reliable, storage repository that cannot be altered or erased in any manner, either accidentally or intentionally.
