Regulatory Compliance
Industry regulations from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the
National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX),
Gramm-Leach-Bliley, and HIPAA have heightened the risk for financial services
providers, banks, insurance companies, healthcare organizations, and all
publicly traded companies. Recent surveys have revealed that 61% of an
organization's intellectual property is in the email system. Protecting this
valuable corporate resource cannot be left to chance. Safeguarding against
threats is a legal requirement that personally affects the CEO, CFO and entire
executive team. Is your company compliant? Failure to comply is no longer a
slap on the wrist. Consider that:
-
In 2002, five major brokerages were fined $1.65 million each (Deutsche Bank,
Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Smith Barney, and US Bancorp Piper Jaffray) for
not archiving emails.
-
Bank of America was fined $10 million in March 2004 when they failed to turn
over emails to the SEC in a timely manner (currently interpreted between 36-72
hours).
-
In July 2005, a small brokerage in Pennsylvania, Hornor Townsend & Kent,
was fined $325,000 for violations that included failing to retain the email
communications of 83 employees.
