Description
Summary:The amount of data that companies must store is growing at an enormous pace as regulations including HIPAA, SEC 17a-4, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and Sarbanes-Oxley -- to name just a few -- place an increasing burden on enterprise storage, backup, and recovery needs. Failure to protect information in a recoverable state can lead to fines, other penalties, and jail time. Today's regulatory environment is forcing many companies to reevaluate their company-wide processes and procedures, including backup and recovery strategies. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley act of 2002, specifically, makes C-level executives accountable for misrepresentation of corporate, operational, or financial information. Without a sound backup strategy that protects content and metadata in ECM systems, the risk of non-compliance grows. Depending upon which constituency your company serves, any single piece of ECM information could be subject to a number of compliance, records management, and regulatory conditions. Protecting ECM information is an investment that cannot be overlooked.
