A good email policy in place will secure your company in several ways. Firstly, the email policy helps prevent email threats, since it makes your staff aware of the corporate rules and guidelines, which if followed will protect your company.
If an incident does occur, an email policy can minimize the company's liability for the employee's actions. Previous cases have proven that the existence of an email policy can prove that the company has taken steps to prevent inappropriate use of the email system and therefore can be freed of liability.
email2 allows companies to monitor message content in 'real time' to ensure that the rules and guidelines are being adhered to demonstrating good corporate governance reducing the costs of employee education and retention.
