TRUSTED DATA ARCHIVE
Regulatory Compliance
Meet SEC, FINRA, HIPAA, GDPR, MiFID II, and other regulatory requirements with Trusted Data Archive's defensible journal archiving and governance.
Meeting SEC, FINRA, HIPAA, and Global Requirements
Trusted Data Archive is aligned to SEC 17a-4, FINRA, FCA, MiFID II, HIPAA, and global regulatory requirements. Updated SEC and FINRA rules continue to require complete, tamper-proof, metadata-rich records with preservation of BCC, distribution lists, and audit trails that Microsoft's native tools do not provide. Trusted Data Archive fills this critical compliance gap.
The Regulatory Landscape
Regulated industries face increasingly complex compliance requirements across multiple jurisdictions. Financial services must meet SEC 17a-4 and FINRA requirements. Healthcare organizations must comply with HIPAA. European operations require GDPR and MiFID II compliance. Each regulation has specific requirements for data retention, accessibility, and defensibility.
Journal Envelope Preservation
Unlike standard Microsoft 365 archiving, Trusted Data Archive retains the original journal envelope, which includes critical metadata such as BCC recipients and expanded distribution list membership. This information is often lost in native M365 tools but is essential for comprehensive legal and compliance investigations. Regulators expect this detail; courts demand it when intent and disclosure are questioned.
WORM Compliance
Smart Data Archive provides WORM (Write Once Read Many) or audit-trail retention, Azure-native compliance, and legally defensible search. This ensures regulatory adherence for organizations subject to tamper-proof storage requirements. EAS, Arcivium for Azure, HPCA, and Z Cloud all deliver immutable, defensible preservation.
