Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Requirements for Email Archiving
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) are the the organisation responsible for regulation and protection of all aspects of the financial services industry in the UK. If you're a company operating in this sector, their somewhat 'comprehensive' guidelines aren't ones you can afford to ignore.
The FCA Handbook covers a wide range of provisions, however in this post I'm going to focus on those that apply to email storage and archiving only - hopefully saving you a little legwork when it comes to checking whether you currently comply.
This is a follow-up to the more general post we published last year addressing the legislation and compliance requirements that apply to UK businesses in relation to email storage.

There's a new minor BackupAssist release today and if you run system protection jobs on Hyper-V host machines, it's one you'll want to make sure you download.
Following a Microsoft update to Server 2012 R2, some new error messages had been appearing in the job reports.
I'm pleased to report that as always, BackupAssist have been quick to respond and within a couple of days we now have this fix.
I'm a little ashamed to admit that the public launch of Microsoft's SQL Server 2014, on any Product Manager's dream launch date of April 1st, managed to somehow completely pass me by.
This did however, make it all the more impressive when our friends over at BackupAssist announced they've already implemented support for it in their latest version of their fantastic backup software for small businesses.
This now officially expands BackupAssist SQL support to include:
SQL 2014, SQL 2012, SQL 2008/R2 and SQL 2005.
Are you an MDaemon user and still wasting time dealing with spam email?
Now is a great time to take SecurityPlus for a test drive as Alt-N Technologies are offering 20% off all NEW licences until the end of June 2014 (discount applied automatically during checkout).
So it's here - we've reached the third and final part of our series of posts designed to arm you with all of the tools you need to survive the minefield that is IT support.
It's time for you to put the knowledge we've provided you into practice and to go it alone.
It's been emotional. God speed.
Our ultimate list is compiled by IT professionals from across the UK.
MDaemon 14 was released earlier this week and with it, an updated webmail client with a snazzy new look and feel.
Outlook has a tendency to hog large chunks of memory and this, coupled with the cost of the licencing means that there's an emerging market of users like myself who are looking for an alternative.
call time on Small Business Server has created a noticeable boost in demand for 'on-premise' email server software that will play nicely with Server 2012.
Small businesses unwilling or unable to follow the Microsoft route of moving everything to the cloud have been left looking for alternative suitors to Exchange that can offer the same experience for their Outlook, Web and mobile device users.
