Tamper-proof email archive built for legal and financial compliance. Legal hold, eDiscovery search, immutable storage, and retention policies that satisfy FINRA, SEC 17a-4, HIPAA, and GDPR.
Email backup answers "I need to recover this." Email archive answers "I need to prove this — and I need to prove it years from now, in a form a regulator or a court will accept."
EFAarchive is built for the second job. Every message is captured at the gateway and written into immutable, tamper-evident storage with a cryptographic chain of custody. Retention runs on policy, not on user intent. Legal hold is a switch, not a project. eDiscovery search runs across years of email in seconds, with reviewer roles, redactions, and exportable case files.
It pairs naturally with OpenEFA: as messages flow through email security, copies are written to the archive automatically. Most customers run them together.
Archive integrity and legal-hold alerts travel over Secure Conduit Technology, keeping the compliance audit trail on one hardened, monitored channel.
Write-once storage with cryptographic per-message hashing. Any modification is detectable; deletion outside policy is impossible.
Apply a hold by user, date range, or custodian. Held messages are exempt from retention expiry until the hold is released, with a full audit trail.
Full-text search across years of email in seconds. Boolean operators, attachments, metadata, custodian filtering. Saved cases with reviewer assignments.
Set retention by group, sensitivity, or message class. Auto-expire on schedule. Full audit trail of every retention action.
Export case sets in MBOX, PST, or EDRM-friendly formats with hash manifests. Reviewer-ready, court-ready.
Separate roles for compliance officers, legal reviewers, and IT administrators. Every action is logged, signed, and reviewable.

Request a quoteEFA Security is collaborative by design. Every product connects through Secure Conduit Technology — one hardened, monitored channel — so when one attacker is caught on any product anywhere in the community, the threat is neutralized locally and its tradecraft becomes intelligence that protects everyone else. Seen once, known everywhere.
A bad actor hits any EFA product line — EFAgateway, EFAcanary, OpenEFA, and the rest. The threat is stopped and sanitized right where it lands, before it can do harm.
The threat signal is extracted and every piece of customer-identifying information is removed. What's kept is the attacker's behavior — never who they targeted.
The anonymized intelligence is recorded and distributed across the EFA community over Secure Conduit Technology — the same hardened channel the products already trust.
Every other EFA deployment now recognizes that attacker on sight. A threat one customer sees becomes a threat the whole community is already defended against.
Your data stays yours. EFAintelligence shares what the threat was — never who was targeted. Customer identity, message content, and identifying metadata are stripped before anything ever leaves your environment. You contribute to the community's defense without exposing your business.
