Regulatory compliance is an increasing focus for organizations of all sizes today, but it is a special challenge and distraction for small and midsize businesses (SMBs), who have very limited resources to devote to it. Yet the number of industries with regulations requiring the archival of email is increasing. The most strict email retention rules are the SEC's for the financial industry, and these are generally regarded as best practices in other industries as well - especially in regard to archiving email onto unalterable media. SEC-regulated firms must maintain a secure, non-alterable, and searchable archive of all their email for as long as seven years in some instances. The ComplianceVault appliance from Intradyn is a simple, all-in-one email archiving and retrieval device designed to be affordable for smaller firms - which, until now, have been significantly challenged to meet the strict requirements of regulations such as the SEC's.
