Email archivingfor Microsoft 365,audit-proof.
Archive captures all inbound, outbound, and internal emails from Microsoft 365 Exchange Online and Exchange Server. Compliant, searchable, and without a mandatory connector.
Email Archiving for Microsoft 365 and Exchange
Archive archives the entire email flow from Microsoft 365 Exchange Online and Exchange Server On-Premise in a audit-proof way. A single journal rule is enough, encrypted messages are stored in searchable plain text, and operations run exclusively in EU data centers.
Why native Microsoft tools fall short
How Microsoft 365 connects to Archive
A single journal rule is enough. Handover is encrypted and requires no connector, delivering to a dedicated archive target outside Microsoft 365.
Journal rule instead of a connector
Exchange Online delivers journal reports via a journal rule to a dedicated Archive ingestion address. No additional connector is required.
Dedicated external archive target
Exchange Online delivers journal reports only to external archive systems. An Exchange Online mailbox cannot serve as a journal target. Archive takes on exactly this role.
Encrypted transport
Journal reports are handed over encrypted via TLS with modern authentication. The mail flow itself remains untouched.
What Archive delivers
Complete capture, audit-proof storage, and full-text search for Microsoft 365 and Exchange On-Premise.
Complete capture
Inbound, outbound, and internal emails are captured without gaps, whether they run through Exchange Online or Exchange Server.
Audit-proof and immutable
Every message is stored immutably and can neither be altered nor deleted after the fact. The archive is designed for audit-proof retention.
Encrypted mail searchable
S/MIME content that the gateway decrypts is archived as searchable plain text. Gateway-decrypted communication remains findable in full-text search.
Hybrid captured in parallel
Exchange Online and Exchange SE On-Premise are captured in parallel and deduplicated. Each email ends up in the archive exactly once.
Migration of legacy data
PST legacy data and archive mailboxes are migrated in a guided way, with no Outlook installation required.
Operated in EU data centers
Operations run exclusively in EU data centers with a German provider, without dependency on US cloud providers.
What sets Archive apart from native Microsoft tools
Microsoft Purview and Exchange Online Archiving cover different tasks. Archive is a separate, audit-proof archive.
A real archive, not a storage tier
The in-place archive in Exchange Online is closer to an additional storage tier per mailbox. Archive is a separate, audit-proof archive for the whole organization.
A permitted external journal target
Journaling into an Exchange Online mailbox is not allowed. Archive serves as a permitted external journal target via a dedicated ingestion address.
Encrypted content searchable
Purview eDiscovery does not support S/MIME content. Archive archives the gateway-decrypted plain text and makes those messages searchable.
Data sovereignty in the EU
The US CLOUD Act applies to Microsoft despite EU data centers. Archive runs exclusively in EU data centers with a German provider.
Audit-proof archiving in three steps
Set up the journal rule
A journal rule in Exchange Online is pointed at the dedicated Archive ingestion address. Transport runs encrypted via TLS.
Import legacy data
PST files and archive mailboxes are migrated and deduplicated in a guided way, without an Outlook installation.
Search and prove
All emails are available audit-proof and full-text searchable, including gateway-decrypted messages.
