Jatheon Adds Slack to Archiving Suite for Compliance

Jatheon, a leading provider of data archiving solutions, has announced the addition of Slack to its growing portfolio of connectors. This move extends Jatheon’s ability to capture and archive workplace communications, ensuring that organizations can maintain a compliant and searchable record of Slack conversations.

According to Marko Dinic, CEO of Jatheon, the company is addressing the growing pressure on organizations to capture communications beyond traditional email. “Employees are increasingly moving daily conversations into chat platforms like Slack,” said Dinic. “Regulators have imposed significant fines for recordkeeping failures, underscoring the importance of having a comprehensive archiving solution.”

The Slack connector allows organizations to capture activity across the platform, including public and private channels, direct messages, and group messages. Edits and deletions are also supported, ensuring a complete record of conversations. Once captured, the data is preserved in an evidentiary-quality format, complete with metadata and message threading. This makes it easy for compliance, legal, and HR teams to access and review the records.

To help organizations manage historical data, Jatheon’s Slack connector supports optional historical data import. This feature allows organizations to bring existing Slack conversations into the archive, rather than starting from scratch. Once the data is captured, it becomes part of Jatheon’s unified search, enabling a single interface for searching across all data sources.

The Slack connector is part of Jatheon’s broader archiving connector suite, which supports a wide array of communication channels. This includes email, instant messaging, social media, and more. With Jatheon’s solution, organizations can apply retention policies, legal holds, tags, content policies, and audit trails to Slack records just as they would for other channels. Additionally, Jatheon’s AI capabilities can decode message sentiment and flag risky or non-compliant items for review.

Dinic continued, “Bringing Slack into the same archive as email and every other channel gives compliance, legal, and HR teams one place to search, review, and prove what happened, while staying compliant. This not only streamlines the process but also ensures that organizations are in full compliance with regulatory requirements.”

The expansion of Jatheon’s archiving capabilities with Slack underscores the company’s commitment to helping organizations manage and retain critical communications data. By providing a comprehensive archiving solution that covers multiple communication platforms, Jatheon aims to mitigate risk, save costs, and improve visibility for its clients.
