Legal
Most companies do not realise the legal implications of having an internet presence, neither do they realise how vulnerable they are to litigation due to not having the correct measurements in place.

Disclaimer

With legal requirements changing, many companies do not have a clean cut view of their legal obligations in respect of electronic mail. Evolv Networks removes this worry by centralizing your disclaimer and legal accountability through our legal partnership with Delport Ward & Pienaar Attorneys. Our legal consulting partner DWP will ensure that the disclaimer and legal correctness of the disclaimer is in line with current legislation.


Email Archiving

Email has become a critical component in many legal disputes. In most cases the validity of the email is disputed based on whether the email handed in as proof is in fact the same one which was sent/received. Our Email Archiving solution allows for archiving of email for extended periods of time as well as being certified as being original in any legal proceeding. The secure email storage system archives all outbound/inbound and even internal email to allow for retrieving email from the system at any time. The system also tracks when the email was sent/received as well as the unique ID that is associated with the email. This solution can therefore give you the peace of mind that your email content is secure and always accessible when you need it the most.


IT Policy

Most companies do not have an IT Policy defining the usage of company IT resources. For this purpose Evolv Networks drafted an IT policy covering all areas of data, email and internet usage. The policy has been reviewed by our legal partners Delport Ward & Pienaar Attorneys so as to ensure legal compliancy and is continuously amended and updated to conform to the latest legal requirements.
