Exchange Email Compliance and Security
There’s a new standard for business email
This old standard doesn’t support the way business is done today. To meet users’ basic requirements, businesses these days require 24/7 email uptime, complete mobile freedom, a half-dozen adjacent technologies, and protection against unprecedented levels of threat.
This is why email is moving to the cloud: a cloud email provider can offer far more functionality, reliability and protection than you could affordably deliver on-premises.
But not all clouds are created equal. Office 365 is the best example: while it does address the shortcomings of the old on-premises server and meets the needs of the most cost-sensitive businesses, it doesn’t address the requirements of the New Standard.

Email used to be so simple. A business used to get by with just a few basic email components:
A server in your closet
Basic/free anti-spam and anti-virus
Local disk backup, just in case
This old standard doesn’t support the way business is done today. To meet users’ basic requirements, businesses these days require 24/7 email uptime, complete mobile freedom, a half-dozen adjacent technologies, and protection against unprecedented levels of threat.
This is why email is moving to the cloud: a cloud email provider can offer far more functionality, reliability and protection than you could affordably deliver on-premises.
But not all clouds are created equal. Office 365 is the best example: while it does address the shortcomings of the old on-premises server and meets the needs of the most cost-sensitive businesses, it doesn’t address the requirements of the New Standard.
Here’s what you need to meet The New Standard—and why each element is so important.
THE OLD EXPERIENCE:
sporadic downtime
With on-premises email, reliability depended on the capacity of an internal IT team. If an outage happened after business hours, the server was usually offline until IT returned in the morning or after the weekend.
OFFICE 365'S OFFER:
99.9% uptime
Office 365 offers a 99.9% uptime guarantee. That could add up to 525 minutes—or over 8 hours—of allowed downtime per year.
THE NEW STANDARD:
99.999% uptime
You should accept nothing short of 99.999% uptime. This amounts to less than 6 minutes of unplanned downtime per year. The best providers offer around-the-clock monitoring and redundant ISPs to assure this level of uptime. And they back their promise with a Service Level Agreement.
THE OLD EXPERIENCE:
strict storage quotas
With on-premises email, adding storage to the server was very complex. Administrators preferred to impose strict quotas on mailbox size. This often interfered with user work flow, led to the deletion of important data and made many users extremely frustrated. And with the ubiquity of smartphones and other devices, the storage requirements of email will only become greater.
OFFICE 365'S OFFER:
compliant data retention could still be expensive
Office 365 retains a user’s data if their mailbox is still active. For regulated businesses, the choice is to keep paying for an ex-employee’s mailbox for 2-7 years after they leave the company or risk fines. And with an average 15% yearly employee turnover, your costs will increase (and compound) significantly over time.
THE NEW STANDARD:
compliant data retention is cost effective
Look for a provider that lets you remove user mailboxes while retaining the email archive for as long as you need it. This reduces the cost of storing user data to facilitate compliance.
THE OLD EXPERIENCE:
compliant data retention is expensive
Regulations like HIPAA, FINRA and SOX require companies to store data for 2-7 years.7 This creates and imposes significant data storage and maintenance requirements on on-premises deployments.
