Secure, Compliant, Trouble-Free E-mail Processes



Financial Services Organizations profit from:
  • Legally-compliant archiving makes previous e-mail available on demand
  • Comprehensive security functions protect against e-mail dangers and risks
  • Confidential, legally-compliant e-mail communication
  • Faster processing of e-mail messages leads to measurable time savings
  • Automated disclaimer generation provides enhanced legal protection


Banking, insurance and financial services companies are today faced with the simultaneous challenges of limiting risks, improving service and reducing costs. Because it involves communication with customers, partners, institutions and authorities, the daily e-mail process is one key area where correct implementation can result in big wins on all three points.

For businesses in this sector it's important to implement an infrastructure that provides secure, automated and fast e-mail communication and at the same time ensures that compliance with all relevant regulations and policies is enforced along the way. It's especially critical because the mining or loss of data like account and credit card numbers, inadvertent deletion of e-mails and incidents of employee harassment via e-mail can have serious legal consequences.

In recent years, the pressure to manage e-mail as a formal business process has been motivated by costs, customers and increasingly stringent regulatory statutes. Today, intensifying competition and the growing volume of e-mail are forcing the issue. An effective e-mail infrastructure for banking, insurance and financial services companies must therefore address the following issues:



  • E-mail Security: Encryption, electronic signatures, protection against spam, phishing and viruses, and protection of confidential information
  • E-mail Compliance: Compliance with internal guidelines and external statutes, which in the end require that the content of incoming and outgoing messages, including attachments, is reviewed for compliance before further processing; a flexible and configurable rule-based framework that embodies organization guidelines; prevents espionage
  • E-mail Archiving: Tamper- and audit-proof archive/restore of business-relevant e-mails that complies with legal mandates like GDPdU, IFRS, Basel II and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
  • Integration of the e-mail platform with other business applications to enable cross-function business processes and to support the project-specific collection of documents
  • Disclaimers: The automatic affixation of a disclaimer at the end of every e-mail to provide legal security
  • Accounting and Billing: Comprehensive reports and statistics—such as spam/virus volume or departmental cost accounting—for improved cost management
