Compliance Which requirements are relevant and how can you fulfill them efficiently?

A flood of regulations

Information are more than bits and bytes. Today they have legally binding document status and must be saved permanently.

Numerous national legislative measures or local tax legislation, but also international regulations such as Basel II or the Sarbane-Oxley Act stipulate extensive requirements on the long-term archiving of documents, files, data and e-mails, possibly in addition to company-internal compliance guidelines. The introduction of suitable IT systems for secure and long-term archiving has thus become a necessity.

The vast number of requirements is already bewildering for small companies. How should IT prepare itself for the job?

Enterprise IT should concentrate on the essentials

Satisfy compliance guidelines and legal requirements by introducing a company-wide archiving and compliance infrastructure.

The compliance requirements can be summarized into three positions from the IT viewpoint:

• The ability archive a defined set of information consisting documents, files, data, e-mails etc. in a secure  and long-term reliabel manner.
• Establish high-performance search and research functions.
• The ability to monitor and log access to the archived information.
