Regulatory Compliance

Industry regulations from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), Gramm-Leach-Bliley, and HIPAA have heightened the risk for financial services providers, banks, insurance companies, healthcare organizations, and all publicly traded companies. Recent surveys have revealed that 61% of an organization's intellectual property is in the email system. Protecting this valuable corporate resource cannot be left to chance. Safeguarding against threats is a legal requirement that personally affects the CEO, CFO and entire executive team. Is your company compliant? Failure to comply is no longer a slap on the wrist. Consider that:

  • In 2002, five major brokerages were fined $1.65 million each (Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Smith Barney, and US Bancorp Piper Jaffray) for not archiving emails.
  • Bank of America was fined $10 million in March 2004 when they failed to turn over emails to the SEC in a timely manner (currently interpreted between 36-72 hours).
  • In July 2005, a small brokerage in Pennsylvania, Hornor Townsend & Kent, was fined $325,000 for violations that included failing to retain the email communications of 83 employees.
