Proofpoint Launches Compliant Capture and Archiving for Microsoft Teams

Latest innovation captures and manages real-time digital communications across the most popular channels including Microsoft Teams.

Proofpoint, Inc., (NASDAQ: PFPT), a leading cybersecurity and compliance company, today announced Content Capture for Microsoft Teams, the latest compliance solution designed for global regulated organisations.

With many or most employees suddenly working from home, regulated organisations – more than ever – need to find an effective way for employees to communicate while ensuring digital communications compliance. Firms must capture, retain, and review employee communications to adhere to rules set forth by regulators. It is also critical for firms to be at-the-ready when it comes to search and review of legal matters, particularly in early case assessments or investigations. This is why Proofpoint is committed to innovating in close partnership with productivity and collaboration vendors.

“Microsoft Teams support is critical for regulated industries—especially as they work to balance employee productivity with the need to capture and supervise content for regulatory purposes in this new work-from-home environment,” said Darren Lee, executive vice president and general manager of Compliance and Digital Risk for Proofpoint. “Millions of users rely on digital collaboration platforms like Microsoft Teams to successfully work remotely. Proofpoint Content Capture makes it easy for organisations to ensure compliance as employees adopt these tools. And as the communications market evolves, we will continue to innovate to support customers’ changing needs.”

“In today’s distributed work environment, Microsoft Teams enables employees to stay connected and productive,” said Mike Ammerlaan, Director, Microsoft 365 Ecosystem at Microsoft Corp.  “The  integration with Proofpoint ensures that regulated firms are able to address compliance and empower employees in this new paradigm of work.”

Proofpoint provides the following benefits for Teams capture:

• Capture messages and content in native format, including text, images, and more
• Preserve the original context of messages and content at point of capture and in transport
• Record edits and deletions of captured content
• Ensure what you’ve captured is stored with complete accuracy

Proofpoint’s Capture platform, which hosts Content Capture for Teams, enables organisations to capture, manage, and monitor a diverse set of the most popular digital communications channels. With Proofpoint, organisations can comply with regulations such as those set forth by the FCA, FINRA, IIROC, SEC and beyond. Proofpoint Capture also seamlessly integrates with the broader Proofpoint compliance portfolio, including the award-winning Enterprise Archive, Intelligent Supervision, and eDiscovery Analytics.
