When I explain email archiving to someone unfamiliar with the process, I’m often faced with the question; "Could they do that themselves?"

WSJ reported that LPL Financial Holdings was fined $7.5 million by the FINRA, as well as creating a $1.5 million compensation fund for its clients.
This $9 million fine is largest to date, and could have been avoided with a good-faith effort to comply with government legislation. Note here that all that is required is a reasonable endeavour by a corporation to comply, FINRA doesn’t expect a perfect solution and a fine can be avoided by making an effort.

Where eDiscovery is concerned, we have seen increasing legal clarity, credibility and standards of practice. Where there has not been legal clarity is in the area of government searches and acquisitions of electronic communication.
The issues lie in clarifying what permissions are needed to obtain company or individual’s information when it is hosted on a third party server. With hosted email and cloud-based email archiving growing in popularity every day, this legal clarity on government acquisitions is long over due.

Records are important. Whether it’s a world record in sport or a record of a conversation, as a species we’re quite keen on keeping track of them. Currently, the Miami Heat are on course to break the NBA record for the most consecutive wins. With 26 wins in a row so far, they are only eight away from matching the all-time record. How do we know this? Because someone, somewhere, once said, “Hey, wouldn’t it be a good idea if we recorded all of this, just in case we want to reference it again?” Without records we would never be able to look back on something or recover information. Just as a stopwatch records a marathon runner, an email archive keeps track of all communication flying in and out of your business’ system.
