Micro Focus announces Digital Safe 10-- a means for customers to mitigate information-borne risks from regulatory mandates, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

GDPR is set to become EU law from May 2018, together with the updated version of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II).

According to the company, Digital Safe 10 allows customers to refine and extend information archiving strategies to tackle compliance, as well as tap into the potential business insights of archived data. It builds on a foundation of high levels of security, "virtually unlimited" processing capacity, market-leading employee supervision, scalability, compliant storage and market defining architecture.

Support for GDPR and MiFID comes through a single pane approach to the management of multi-format archived data required for comprehensive compliance reporting and data mining. Open APIs capture and understand structured data in "hundreds" of formats, including mobile and social media, before consolidation in a unified object store.

Further features include a single, modern UI for high performance early-case assessment (ECA), live capture verification and validation of eCommunications data, and reporting capabilities on data processes with export to all standard file formats and delivery methods.

Also announced by Micro Focus is Retain 4.3-- a unified archiving solution targeted at SMBs and satellite offices. An on-premises solution supplementing Digital Safe in countries with strict data sovreignity requirements, it incorporates carrier-level archiving allowing the capture and storage of text messages (SMS and MMS). The data is secured and archived in a central unified repository including multi-platform email and social media.

Both Digital Safe 10 and Retain 4.3 are available now.
