Archive solution enables regulated organizations to expand Teams capabilities, leveraging cloud-native and on-premise capture to enable companies of any size to meet regulatory and legal needs
Smarsh, a global leader in digital communications compliance and intelligence, today announced that they achieved the status of a certified Enterprise Information Archive (EIA) provider for Teams. Smarsh collaborated closely with Microsoft during the development period of the Teams Export APIs to support regulated industry use cases, and is the first Microsoft partner to complete the certification process in this EIA category.
With the transition to hybrid work, organizations are increasingly reliant on tools such as Teams to get work done from anywhere. Today’s announcement means that customers in regulated industries will have their Teams data being properly captured and available for regulatory and legal requests. Our solution:
- Aligns with Microsoft support for new Teams features and enabled native capture
- Removes the burden on Compliance, IT, and Legal teams by preserving context and threading to help improve the speed and efficiency of responding to regulatory and legal requests
- Manages potential risk and value through easily defining lexicon policies to flag incoming content
- Seamlessly integrates with Smarsh Enterprise Archive, Digital Safe Archive, third-party archives or a data lake of your choice with industry-leading security features
