E-mail Compliance Security Solutions for Regulatory Requirements

St. Bernard

Email is the most widely used Internet application in the world. Email and other emerging methods for electronic communication help to fulfill the need for the quick response times and immediate gratification required in today’s business environment. Given email’s pervasiveness throughout the industrialized world today, most organizations cannot function without it. The critical business processes that email supports such as sales orders, customer service, and employee collaboration have created a requirement that email be available at all times. As if the business needs surrounding email aren’t enough for organizations to manage, there has been a recent surge of government regulations that affect this form of communication. These laws, which affect large and small companies alike in practically every industry, were written to ensure that email is being used and managed properly from an employee perspective. Toward that goal, the laws protect confidential customer information, uphold corporate governance and protect law enforcement investigations. However, there are dozens of issues surrounding the security of email in business today – many of which are often overlooked.This paper provides an overview of some of the highly visible U.S. laws affecting email security; a look at St. Bernard’s email security service; and information on how St. Bernard Managed Protection Services can help organizations comply with current and future legislation to minimize the impact on their bottom lines.
