Comprehensive, On-Demand Email Archiving and Discovery
Google Message Discovery, powered by Postini, goes beyond the functionality of our security offering to give customers maximum control and flexibility over your electronic records archive, meeting discovery, and compliance objectives. In addition to the security provided by Google Message Security, powered by Postini, Google Message Discovery provides archiving, discovery, and compliance functionality. Whether you must respond to a discovery situation or want to prepare in advance for an eventual request, Google Message Discovery can help you find and manage the right information quickly and painlessly.
With Google Message Discovery service you can:
Manage archives
Centralize storage of message data into a single company archive to offload data from mail servers, enforce a standard retention policy, and provide an easily accessible repository for discovery efforts.
Discover evidence
Effectively manage multiple investigations, inquiries, and discoveries with enhanced search, save, and restore capabilities. Place records on hold, such as necessitated by litigation notice, which temporarily discontinues automatic message deletion. Best of all, it’s hosted by Google. So there’s no hardware or software to download, install or maintain. Google Message Discovery simplifies mailbox storage management, eases IT administration burdens, and lowers the total cost of ownership compared to software or appliance based solutions.
New Age of Archiving and Discovery
In today’s world, electronic communications are both increasingly critical and growing in volume. Businesses know that they need to archive this critical communications data but struggle with keeping this data from clogging primary communications systems. Google Message Discovery helps companies accomplish both objectives at once.
Business and IT Benefits Google Message Discovery provides benefits to various stakeholders within an organization.
- Saves time for legal, HR, compliance, and IT with rapid search and discovery tools that find and recover the right information as quickly as possible.
- Relieves the IT department from the headaches and costs related to ongoing infrastructure management.
- Saves money with rapid deployment and full integration with the Google platform.
- Provides accountability by limiting and supervising access, and offering reporting and auditing tools for monitoring.
- Affords peace of mind with full implementation support and ongoing customer care. An add-on service, Google Message Consolidation, powered by Postini, helps you consolidate legacy data into the company’s ongoing archive.
Make Google Part of your Rapid Response Plan for Discovery
Customers use Google Message Discovery for a wide variety of investigation needs. With its intuitive and easy-to-use web interface, non-IT users such as HR, legal, and compliance staff no longer need to rely on IT personnel to conduct inquiries.
Message Discovery flow
Comprehensive message capture: Customers have two options for sending messages to the Google Message Discovery archive: a) Messages can be archived as part of the overall processing Google performs during our real-time threat analysis or b) Alternatively, messages can be routed to Google via the common envelope journaling capability on your email server. Customers can also import historical information through an optional service, Message Consolidation.
Always On, Always Current Message Security: Routing messages through Google’s market-leading Message Security functionality provides customers with real-time threat protection, innovative virus detection, content-based filtering and policy-enforced TLS encryption.
Robust archive capabilities for full control and maximum flexibility: Messages and their attachments are indexed and stored in a centralized repository. Flexible policy management enables customers to set variable retention policies at the user or group level, by organization or geography and to easily conform to legal and regulatory requirements and corporate policies.
Advanced search and discovery, extraction and reporting tools: Password-based access provides authorized individuals with advanced tools to quickly and easily search and discover, share or extract relevant data to suit different business purposes.
Extensive Reporting: Usage and audit reporting provide the information necessary to customers to manage storage and retention as well as monitor all activities that occur within the company archive for compliance.
Varying levels of access provide authorized individuals with the search tools they need to do their work. The standard search functionality enables employees to easily search the body of messages to which they have access. Employees can search using industry-standard fields such as From/To, keywords, date ranges, and also wildcard options in both the body of the message as well as attachments. Additionally, customers can use Boolean search queries to conduct proximity and more specialised searches. Finally, investigators can create investigations composed of multiple searches and save search criteria for continual use or further refinement.
For example:
An IT administrator searches the company archive to help an end-user recover a mistakenly-deleted message.
An end-user searches his Personal Archive either
through the Message Centre or through the toolbar for Outlook to find
emails that may no longer be available on his local mailbox due to
rigorous enforcement of inbox quotas.
An HR representative uses the advanced investigative
tools to conduct an inquiry into a possible claim. Once she finds the
results she needs, she can transfer ownership of them to her boss who
can then decide what action needs to be taken.
An in-house lawyer responsible for litigation uses the
same advanced investigative tools as the HR representative, but once she
finds the relevant results, immediately places them on litigation hold.
Doing so overrides the standard retention policy with either a new date
or no expiration. Once the hold date expires, data will be identified
for purging if the retention period has expired. The lawyer then exports
the results set in PST format to share with outside counsel and
litigation experts. All the actions performed above in the company
archive are logged and captured through audit reporting.
Easy, intuitive, parameter-based search and discovery capabilities enable investigators to perform inquiries across the centralized company archive and support other advanced functionality such as saving results, placing records on litigation hold and sharing relevant information with outside parties.
Leave Storage Capacity Planning to the Experts
With the Google Message Discovery service, leave your storage capacity planning to Google. You can add or remove users and change archive policies through web-based administrative access without worrying whether you have enough disk to support their needs. Google makes it easy to keep up with the ever-changing landscape and company growth without committing to a costly infrastructure. Best of all, there are no storage limits to how much data you can store in your archive.
