FAQ ARCHIVING
How long are companies allowed to keep email ?
Companies should carry out a risk analysis and decide an appropriate retention period. Seven years is often selected, as contract disputes are time-expired after this time. If contracts are being made or altered via email, then relevant emails should be kept until the liability expires. Longer retention periods are needed for those regulated industries mandated to keep records for longer periods. For example, pension advice given via email should be retained for up to 100 years. It is perfectly acceptable for an organisation to keep all its email for the longest mandated retention period even if ALL email doesn’t need to be preserved for that length of time.
Can you capture instant messaging ?
Archtitan can archive instant messages (Teams, Slack and others) from a variety of different sources and preserve the IMs in a separate repository to the email, giving you a single pane of glass for searching both.
