• Privacy and Access to Information mandates for businesses, government, health care providers and law firms under legislation such as Gramm-Leach-Bliley, HIPAA, Florida's Sunshine Law and California's Security Breach Information Act.

Delivered via a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, AppRiver's complete managed service for Microsoft Exchange works seamlessly with Global Relay's Message Archiver to securely capture and preserves all email and attachments.
