Email Archive Meet Requirements for Compliance and Retention Policies at All Times with Enterprise-Level Email Archiving

Tamper-proof, long-term storage for all your email communications, including hybrid encryption, GDPR compliance, and maximum performance.

Stored Securely, Found Quickly:
Email Archiving the Way It Should Be

Back up all your incoming and outgoing emails in real time and make every message always available in accordance with applicable retention periods. Retarus Email Archive stores all external — and, if desired, internal — emails automatically, reliably, and long term for up to ten years. In their original raw format including all SMTP information and in a way that they cannot be altered. The messages to be archived are processed in parallel so they are delivered to recipients quickly. All emails are stored (in compliance with the GDPR and other international data protection guidelines of course) in Retarus’ own high-availability and redundant data centers within Europe. There, your electronic correspondence is protected from unauthorized access at all times through the use of hybrid encryption. This creates the best conditions for complying with national and international legal regulations, strict industry standards, and internal company compliance guidelines or email retention policies.

Speed is not only important for archiving. With Retarus, searching for individual messages is just as straightforward. With powerful search functions, administrators can locate and retrieve archived emails in milliseconds, even in the case of high volumes of messages and storage. Search criteria can be narrowed granularly as required, for example, based on data protection regulations.

Each time the Retarus Email Archive is accessed it is automatically logged in a “compliance log”.

Administrators can only access the archive using the four-eyes principle. Search criteria can also be restricted individually to ensure maximum data protection.

On average, it takes 5.1 milliseconds to find a message in a Retarus Email Archive with 75 million stored emails.

Encrypted Archive, Reliable Email Retention

Before being archived, each email is thoroughly checked for viruses and malware by Retarus Email Security’s comprehensive security algorithms. Only then is the message stored in its original format, including all attachments, as an encrypted email in the Retarus Email Archive. Data that is transfered to and from the Retarus infrastructure is of course always transmitted using TLS encryption. There are even more advantages when this is combined with other Retarus Secure Email Platform solutions. For example, using Retarus Email Encryption in parallel ensures incoming messages are decrypted centrally via the cloud platform before being permanently stored in the encrypted archive. This has the advantage that archived messages are not encrypted with private user keys, which ensures messages can be accessed throughout the entire archiving period — regardless of whether the respective private keys still exist at the time of retrieval or employees have left the organization in the meantime.
