Email archiving is the process of securely storing copies of all incoming and outgoing email messages in a tamper-proof, searchable system.

Unlike simple backups, archiving:

• 📦 Stores emails for long-term access

• 🔍 Makes them easily searchable by date, sender, subject, or content

• 🛡️ Preserves emails exactly as they were sent/received (for legal integrity)

• 📁 Allows recovery even if the original email is deleted

🧠 Think of it as a digital vault for all your email communication.

📜 Why Compliance Requires Email Archiving

Depending on your industry or location, you may be legally required to retain and protect email records for a certain number of years.

💼 Common regulations include:

• GDPR (EU): Right to access and audit communication

• HIPAA (US): Patient data handling and traceability

• SOX (US): Financial recordkeeping compliance

• ISO 27001: Information security management standards

Without archiving, it can be nearly impossible to prove:

• What was said

• When it was said

• Who received or sent it

⚠️ Failing an audit because of missing emails can be costly—and easily preventable.
