Email regulatory compliance and liability risk management - Seek advice from the legal experts

gavel

Electronic mail can improve the service that all organisations offer to their clients and increase the efficiency with which they work. However, without proper guidance, email use can cause loss for which the organisation could be held liable.

Organisations are only beginning to realise the liabilities surrounding email - the common tool used by employees today. Simply, an organisation is liable for the content contained within an email created in the workplace, and these emails MUST be retained for a period of time defined by regulatory bodies and the business.

During mandatory retention periods, organisations must ensure that their email data is available, readily searchable and quickly recoverable at any point. For example, disciplinary proceedings, harassment cases, tracing corporate leaks, Subject Access Requests, discovery orders, email investigations, etc. often require rapid access to email evidence.

The organisation must also prove that it has retrieved all relevant emails, and that these emails have not been tampered with - this will mean that the emails will have evidential weight in a court of law.

Attend our management seminar to learn how to manage the risk associated with email use and decrease corporate liability; how to deal with the conflicting regulations that govern your business and the solutions available to achieve email compliance.
