| Compliance
and Regulatory Requirements Secured with EMAILFORT |
| DataFort
Provides Email Archiving For FSA And DPA Compliant Businesses |
| Release
date: November 2005 |
| DataFort,
the leading UK provider of off-site data backup, today
announced the launch of its latest product, EmailFort
- designed to provide organisations with a read only email
archiving facility that adheres to the compliance and
regulatory requirements of the Financial Services Authority
and Data Protection Act. |
| EmailFort
provides organisations with a tool that forms part of
its overall compliance management programme. EmailFort
archives all company emails sent and received, these
archived emails are only available to the organisations
appointed Compliance Officer and can only be read. This
is where EmailFort differs from traditional email backup
– email backup allows individual employees to
delete emails from their own archives and can therefore
not be used as an adequate compliance measure. |
| “As
soon as an email is sent or received by a user it is
encrypted, time and date stamped and sent off-site to
two individual secure servers. The whole process is
managed and maintained by DataFort’s software
and security systems.” Comments Gavin Smith, Founder
and CEO of DataFort. |
| With
EmailFort in place a business can provide regulators
with all emails sent and received throughout a particular
time period, or all emails (sent and received) to a
particular company, on demand. All requests to retrieve
emails are raised on EmailFort by the Compliance Officer
and delivered back to them as a PST file. |
| “Whilst
EmailFort is running the dedicated compliance officer
receives updated reports from the system at regular
intervals highlighting email throughput, usage and expiration.
It is often the case that emails need to be archived
for at least three years, this means that large volumes
of emails reach their expiry dates each day and need
to be assessed and deleted.” Adds Smith. |
| EmailFort
is competitively priced with service banding to support
both small FSA regulated organisations as well as larger
institutions with archiving requirements. |
