Question: What regulations are being interpreted to cover email retention? I need to develop a retention policy/procedure and need to ensure that the length of retention is appropriate.
Answer: Apply the same rules to e-mail as you would paper based mail, with the exception of anything falling under SEC rules, which are specific to e-mail.
If you retain them electronically, keep a back-up and test your files periodically to ensure your method is effective.
