Security & Compliance

I wonder if that sounds like an oxymoron. Sometimes I think of email management as a misnomer. I tend to think that my email manages me more than anything. It occurs to me the following possible scenario. You get a subpoena for all the emails that you exchanged with a customer, contractor or employee for the last 12 months. What do you do? Maybe not so hard if you have them in your sent and in boxes. What if you have a company of 20 employees (or more)? Can you get all the messages quickly and without too much difficulty? Does it take hours of hunting them down on backups? Can you provide proof that you have provided all the required information? Now, let's throw another twist to the scenario? What if the subpoena includes all attachments, phone messages and other correspondence related to that email? Can you fulfill the request. Look at the way you are storing your data. Are you prepared in the event that something like this comes up? If you are, I'd be curious to know your strategy. Corey Smith Co-founder of Resumango where you can build a better resume for free.
