Say yes to the communication tools your employees want to use to conduct business, while mitigating risk.
Employees, especially at global organizations, have long wanted to use WhatsApp to communicate with clients and each other for business purposes. Due to the difficulty associated with capturing and archiving this content, the majority of regulated organizations simply prohibit the use of such tools. This frustrates their workforce and leaves them open to risk when employees violate prohibition policies. Smarsh provides a capture and archiving solution for WhatsApp content. This means that organizations with compliance, open records and e-discovery requirements can now leverage WhatsApp while meeting recordkeeping and oversight obligations. Smarsh capture and archiving solutions for WhatsApp enable:
Content governance for a global workforce: WhatsApp content can be captured, indexed and retained in the Smarsh archive in a “search-ready” state, and is accessible at any time. This means your organization can provide your Compliance, Legal and IT teams with confidence to embrace the use of WhatsApp communications. Contact our sales team for full details about how we capture WhatsApp content.
Supervision of content: Granular policies can be applied to WhatsApp content as it is added to the archive for automated supervision. Captured content can be inspected to flag the leakage of sensitive information, suspicious behavior and/or abusive language.
Automated archiving for compliance and e-discovery: WhatsApp content can be archived by Smarsh or sent to an external archive. A single search can be performed across WhatsApp content together with all other archived communication channels for easier, faster review. The same solution is available for WeChat content.
- End-to-end security: Whether data is in transit or at rest.
