Microsoft Teams provides a wealth of productivity features, designed to help today’s increasingly remote and mobile workforce stay connected. However, while Teams delivers impressive collaboration and chat capabilities, it was not designed with regulatory or legal response in mind.
If your company is subject to government regulatory data retention requirements such as SEC Rule 17a-4, FINRA, and MiFID II, you may not be allowing your employees to use collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams because of compliant data retention concerns.
If your organization has implemented data and document retention policies or you are concerned about document retention for litigation and eDiscovery, your legal teams need to understand how they can compliantly retain and search your Teams data.
One of the complicating factors in extending data retention policies to Teams is that Teams does not have its own single storage repository within Office 365. Instead, Teams creates many different data objects that are stored in several other services within Office 365.
This table (taken from Microsoft article: "Location of data in Microsoft Teams") shows how Teams data is stored in different repositories depending on the content type.
Unlike legacy archiving tools that can only capture and archive some of the Teams conversation and content, Archive360 for Microsoft Teams compliantly captures, archives and manages every part of a Teams conversation.
