Frequently Asked Questions

t-b-s
What is Enterprise Vault Complete?
Enterprise Vault Complete is an enterprise information archiving and governance product that helps organizations capture, retain, supervise, discover, and analyze business communications and data. It brings together capabilities such as capture, classification, surveillance, eDiscovery, and governance analytics within a single environment. Legal, compliance, IT, and records management teams use the product to manage regulated information and maintain defensible governance policies across enterprise systems.
How is Enterprise Vault Complete deployed?
Enterprise Vault Complete is deployed using an on-premises architecture that organizations operate within their own infrastructure or private cloud environments. This deployment model allows organizations to maintain control over data location, governance policies, and operational management. Many organizations choose this approach when they must meet regulatory requirements, internal governance standards, or data residency obligations.
What types of data and communications can Enterprise Vault capture and archive?
Enterprise Vault can capture and archive enterprise communications and content from supported systems such as email platforms, collaboration tools, and file repositories. Captured data is preserved with its original structure and metadata so that it can be searched, retained, and reviewed during investigations or regulatory inquiries. This allows organizations to maintain a complete record of business communications and enterprise information.
How does Enterprise Vault support investigations and eDiscovery?
Enterprise Vault supports investigations and eDiscovery by enabling legal and compliance teams to search archived data, apply legal holds, collect relevant information, and manage review workflows. The solution provides search and collection tools for identifying relevant information and supports case management and document review. These capabilities allow organizations to locate and analyze information required for litigation, regulatory inquiries, or internal investigations.
How does Enterprise Vault help organizations enforce retention and governance policies?
Enterprise Vault helps organizations enforce retention and governance policies by applying classification rules and retention schedules to archived information. Classification can also drive where content is stored (such as WORM storage, on-premises, or cloud) and for how long it is retained. Policies determine how long information must be preserved and when it can be deleted in accordance with regulatory and organizational requirements. By managing these policies centrally within the archive, organizations can maintain consistent governance practices, optimize storage placement, and clearly demonstrate how information lifecycle rules are enforced.
