  • Comprehensive Compliance: Smarsh provides native compliance and governance for IceChat content. All content can be sent to the Smarsh Enterprise Archive to help meet FINRA, SEC, MiFID II and other regulatory mandates. The quick search and display of contextual data make supervision and reconciliation functions more efficient. 
  • Monitoring of IceChat content: All content can be inspected for sensitive information, suspicious behavior, and/or abusive language. Administrators can review policies that flag keywords across messages and in-file text to pinpoint any violations.
  • Automated archiving and fast, effective supervision and e-discovery: All content and activity can be automatically sent to the Enterprise Archive for fast and accurate search, supervision, e-discovery, and case management. The preservation of all content in context makes for faster, more effective review.
  • End-to-end security: Whether data is in transit or at rest.
