Overview

Proofpoint Enterprise Archive is a cloud-based archiving solution that simplifies legal discovery, regulatory compliance, and end-user data access. It provides a central, searchable repository of a wide range of content types without the headaches of managing an archive in-house.

Enterprise Archive’s high-performance search features give organizations insights to help refine discovery strategies. Legal teams can easily search in near-real time across email and across more than 500 types of attachments, social media, and enterprise-collaboration communications. Instant access to data greatly reduces the time and cost of collecting, filtering, and searching data collected through restored backup tapes, imaged hard drives and Microsoft Outlook PST files.

With Enterprise Archive’s policy management features, organizations receive assistance with creating, maintaining and—most important—consistently enforcing information retention policies. Enforcement is automatic and based on rules the organization can configure. When data has reached the end of its retention period, high-performance disposition lets teams quickly purge data. Every policy change and disposition action is tracked for a truly defensible disposition process that meets SEC 17a-4 rules.

Additionally, Proofpoint offers Intelligent Supervision as an optional module built on top of Enterprise Archive. It allows compliance staff to systematically review messages (including email, social media, Bloomberg and instant messaging). Content selected for review—either as potential policy violations or through a random sampling process—is automatically routed to the users authorized to act on them. Intelligent Supervision also provides reports that help organizations manage the review process and remain ready for regulatory audits.
