Take control of personal email accounts and you’ll take care of the four remaining tips mentioned above. Personal email accounts are the headache of most email admins in a corporate environment. I know this because I once worked as an email manager for a large company based in California, which has more than 300 accounts.

Although, it’s a very tiring job, at the end of the day, you feel rewarded and fulfilled because you know you’ve contributed to the company’s growth.

Also, managing corporate email accounts is a top-level concern for any enterprise and it’s synonymous with business compliance.

Having a good email company policy should be every organization’s top concern. This will not only ensure compliance to national and international standards, it will also get rid of common spams, harmful messages, leaky emails, phising attacks, and other forms of malware sabotage.

Moreover, an excellent, practical, and efficient company policy can be easily implemented from the management level down to the bottom.

I would add to the top of the list – keep your knowledge current. Take the time to follow the changes in legislation because if you fail to do so, all the other measures become obsolete. If you are lucky to be in an industry where change in legislation is infrequent, then you don’t have that much to do but in all other cases, the mountain of bills and acts to read is a huge one.

My understanding is that corporate email accounts are those used and maintained by big and multinational corporations, and that they are the ones covered by these email compliance laws and regulations. Am I right? Can you confirm this?

I work in a small-sized enterprise, with less than 50 employees. I’m not sure if we have email compliance in place. Is this necessary even if my company only has several email accounts? Our business mostly caters to local clients.

I’m not even familiar with SOX, HIPAA, and GLB.

Having a firm yet flexible compliance policy is very important. Think about all the companies who struggle with security because they don’t keep up to date with new threats, but likewise, you need to be mindful of new permissions. As email continues to deliver more and becomes somehow more integral to everyday life, it’s important to know what it needs to used for in the workplace, what’s unnecessarily risky, and to find that happy medium not just once, but as new situations and threats develop and occur.
