Hosted Solutions - Email Surveillance
ContentFast's MessageWatcher software can help your company monitor and archive e-mails and instant messages allowing you to become aware of and prevent inappropriate or illegal communications by your employees. The cost of not conducting surveillance on electronic communications is high.

$8.25 million in fines were levied against Salomon Smith Barney, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, and U.S. Bancorp Piper for not producing e-mails when requested by regulators. ComputerWorld. December 9, 2002. "Wall Street Firms Fined for Not Saving E-Mail" by Lucas Mearian.


Make sure that your employees' communications do not:
  • Violate industry regulations
  • Disclose company confidential information and trade secrets
  • Violate laws
MessageWatcher software assists with:
  • Regulatory requirement (Sarbanes Oxley, SEC 17a-4, etc.)
  • Lost e-mails
  • Searches for contacts
  • Security issues
  • Harassment prevention

Despite the potential for stiff fines and even jail time, 70% of professionals still swipe some form of intellectual property from their bosses. MessageWatcher helps prevent this type of activity from happening.

In additional to protecting intellectual property, MessageWatcher software allows you to find lost e-mails, search for e-mails sent to potential clients or partners and proactively monitor suspicious e-mails to mitigate liability for harassment suits and security breaches.

Customer networks can be configured to allow MessageWatcher software to monitor non-corporate email accounts such as Yahoo! and AOL. MessageWatcher can also scan over 50 types of attachments.


Compliance

Chances are your company is subject to regulatory requirements or industry standards that require your company to archive and possibly monitor electronic communications. In addition to NASD and SEC audits, e-mail and instant messages are now becoming commonplace in discovery requests in corporate lawsuits. E-mail and instant message archival and retrieval should be a process that withstands these audits and discovery requests similar to corporate paper records and other corporate electronic documents. Not complying properly may expose the corporation and its officers to penalties, fines as well as legal consequences such as destruction of evidence charges and adverse judgments.
