Messaging Architects, an eMazzanti Technologies Company and email expert, proposes improvements to email governance with a midsummer fitness check in a new article. The informative article first encourages readers to automate email policies where possible.
The author then urges updates to email security, including email filters and email encryption. He then discusses the need to educate email users about the proper and efficient use of email. He concludes by encouraging organizations limping along with outdated email systems to consider when to update to a modern solution.
“Without diligent oversight, email can quickly become not only a time sink, but also a security and compliance liability,” stated Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at Messaging Architects. “Spending some quality time on email governance can make the difference.”
Below are a few excerpts from the article, “Streamline Email Governance with a Midsummer Fitness Check.”
Automate Email Policies
“A midsummer IT fitness checkup provides the perfect opportunity to review and update email policies. A well-crafted email policy both improves regulatory compliance and streamlines the archive to ease the eDiscovery process down the road. But policies require periodic adjustments to keep up with regulatory changes and evolving business practices.”
“Realistically, depending on users to remember and incorporate written policies almost certainly leads to problems. Thus, using archiving system controls and tools like Microsoft 365 retention policies and labels proves invaluable. These tools allow companies to automate email policies for retention and size limits, as well as those for attachments and proper sharing of documents.”
Update Email Security
“Basic email filters identify spam messages and automatically move them to a junk folder. More advanced filtering systems provide organizations the ability to whitelist or blacklist certain senders. They can also protect against new and emerging viruses by blocking certain file attachments and analyzing message content.”
“Email encryption prevents unauthorized access of sensitive emails. If you have not reviewed your email encryption in a while, do it now. A good encryption service will provide end-to-end encryption and allow admins to define pre-set rules. For instance, certain keywords will indicate sensitive information and flag an email for automatic encryption.”
