Sherpa Software Shines Light On Compliance with New Journaling and Filtering Solution for Lotus Notes Users
Compliance Attender Analyzes Messages as they Occur, Preventing the Transfer of Sensitive Data before it Happens
Pittsburgh, PA, January 20, 2009–Sherpa Software, a leading e-discovery and archiving software company, today announced a new email management solution for Lotus Notes users that will help businesses enforce corporate data policies and meet intensifying regulatory requirements. Sherpa Software Compliance Attender is flexible and affordable server-based compliance email software that intercepts, archives and filters inbound and outbound email as well as internal messages in real time. Messages are then automatically mapped against administrator-defined policies and restrictions to prevent the transfer of sensitive data before it occurs, and to provide companies a tamper-proof and comprehensive record of all email communications.
Compliance Attender is being demonstrated this week at IBM’s Lotusphere conference in Orlando, Florida, at Sherpa’s booth, #519.
At the core of Compliance Attender is Sherpa’s proprietary Real Time Engine technology, which catches messages at the operating system level before they get to the Domino router. Compliance Attender Journaling archives all email into a series of managed repositories, while Compliance Attender Filtering provides administrators with message-management options such as restricting email based on content, group membership, recipient count or total message size.
By parsing messages before they reach Domino, Compliance Attender allows companies to avoid performance lags resulting from the router’s involvement in Lotus Notes’ mailbox journaling. Compliance Attender archives and screens the messages as they occur for increased speed and control over which emails are caught and how they are managed, such as: archive/journal messages, prevent delivery, add classification headers, add disclaimers, and much more.
“In today's regulatory environment, it is becoming increasingly important for companies to move toward real-time enforcement of corporate data policies,” said David Ferris, President and Senior Analyst at Ferris Research. “By analyzing email messages as they occur and potentially preventing the transfer of sensitive information, companies can mitigate their risk with an audit trail to prove they are compliant.”
“A company’s desire to safeguard key corporate data assets and ensure compliance with federal regulations and email archiving is complicated by the ubiquity of email and the sheer volume of messages that must be tracked and managed,” said Kevin Ogrodnik, President at Sherpa Software. “Sherpa is helping companies to overcome these obstacles with Compliance Attender by offering a comprehensive and low-cost solution that installs in minutes, is easy to use, and provides a powerful layer of protection against the transfer of sensitive information.”
Compliance Attender runs on a company’s existing hardware—no new servers or appliances are necessary—and total cost of ownership is lower than competitive solutions, since no middleware software or database is required. Compliance Attender will be offered for a limited time at a special introductory rate of as little as $5 per user.
