Perimeter E-Security, a provider of secure and compliant infrastructure for companies of all sizes, has launched its Compliance and Continuity Suite for Microsoft Office 365 with enhanced continuity and e-Discovery capabilities for securely capturing and storing all incoming and outgoing messages.

The new suite enables organizations to archive every email, preserve uptime, and increase the accuracy of internal and external compliance reviews. Using Perimeter's automated compliance workflow system, Office 365 customers can reduce risk and allow administrators to identify potential compliance violations before they occur.

Key features include:

Message mirroring. A web-based business continuity portal allows users 24/7 access to their archives where they can send and receive emails in the event of an exchange outage.

Tamper-proof storage guarantees the integrity of message archives, essential for establishing chain of custody and complying with FRCP.

User-friendly web-based interface enables organizations to define their own complex, weighted policies for compliance monitoring. Administrators have 24/7 access to reports, policy configurations, and role-based access control. Additionally, administrators and employees alike have 24/7 access to their own personal archives, and more.

Parametric search allows administrators, reviewers, counsel, and employees the ability to quickly search archives based on message metadata, group membership, full-text or attachment contents and other parameters.

Flexible message retention options governing the length of time messages are kept in the archive, which helps to minimize the risk of exposure and reduce archive expenses. These include support for multiple retention holds and role-based collections.

Support for E-discovery Reference Model functionality, notably the identification, collection and preservation of email and other critical information types.
