Show me a search of a full text index that can positively give you 100%
of the hits on a given topic and I'll let you have this one :) Manual
review is necessary to verify, and chances are you would need to
manually review every E-mail going to and from specific employees
across a range of dates. A good law firm would do the review
themselves before passing on the material to the regulators instead of
relying on some tech to identify the subject matter by way of keyword. And no, I've never dealt with SOX compliance, but I was involved in a case where I had to produce over 700 E-mails between myself and employees of another company. That wasn't fun. It was easy to identify the messages, but very time consuming to do the review. Matt Sanford Whiteman wrote: Each company is different and therefore so are their needs.Okay, but _Rick's_ needs are SOX compliance. I don't have any interest in discussing general archiving methods; to each his/her own in that effort.Many that archive will never need to go through the data, primarily because many companies aren't so enormous that they have the legal liability nor the volume that would necessitate a preemptive indexing of content.I do not believe you are speaking from experience.I would consider it to be unrealistic to demand that a full text indexing be done of file attachments. . .That's nice, but it's not your choice. Regulators demand prompt, often overnight, responses to search requests (sometimes many concurrent requests). Do not think for a minute that "unrealistic" is the IT staff's trump card against compliance. This is not as simple as you think it is, but that's understable because you've evidently never been under the gun of a SOX or SEC investigation. Three of our clients have been through the latter (cleared, I might add, but now with double the liability insurance premium, probably forever). Two of these companies have less than 50 employees, and one has four full-timers. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
