FSA Compliance

If your business is regulated by the FSA, then you should be aware that you are accountable for all of your inbound and outbound email communications. All organisations which are answerable to the FSA must, by law store all business related emails for a minimum of 6 years, and in some cases indefinitely. This is in order for companies to protect themselves and provide evidence in the case of any disputes which may occur.

In addition to this, businesses are also required under the following acts to provide effective and secure archived storage of email data:

• The Data Protection Act
• The Freedom of Information Act
• The Sarbanes Oxley Act

In response to this, thousands of FSA regulated businesses are looking carefully at their email systems and implementing new technology with the provisions for full compliance with these guidelines. One of the best ways to do this is by signing up to Maillabs Microsoft Exchange Hosting Service.

This an extremely cost-effective solution and removes the responsibility of running an in-house email server which can run into thousands of pounds and requires full time maintenance. In addition to this, it helps businesses to be in compliance with industry and Government guidelines. This could prove vital in the event of any dispute.

Exchange hosting’s advanced security and auto-archiving features will ensure that your business is in compliance with all current and future legislation governing email and other forms of communication.
