Three ways compliance management tools can help you navigate the communications landscape

Today’s organizations face a powerful contradiction. They aim to empower their workforce with the latest unified communications and collaboration platforms that drive productivity, yet find themselves curbing these very technologies from their users to meet strict compliance mandates. Adopting cutting-edge communication solutions while navigating rigid compliance requirements is more than just a challenging balancing act. It can feel overwhelming. And if not done correctly, it can bring about legal liabilities and financial penalties that damage your brand reputation. To remedy this, organizations need an enterprise-ready communications compliance solution that can help IT admins manage risk across your tech stack. 

Compliance management solutions come with a variety of benefits, so to help you understand how these tools can help you navigate the tricky communications landscape, here are three things to consider.

As workplace technologies continue to evolve at warp speed, collaboration tools are advancing beyond basic meetings to include AI-powered summaries, digital whiteboards, and expansive video capabilities. This shift toward more dynamic and external-facing collaboration is encouraging for teams who need to work smarter and faster, but can cause headaches for IT administrators who must balance innovation with strict compliance and regulatory standards. Consequently, many organizations err on the side of caution, and limit access to features like whiteboards, AI assistants, and chat to avoid potential compliance issues. 

This vigilant approach, while mitigating compliance risks, potentially undermines workplace innovation and the full return on your technology investments. Limiting access to communications and productivity tools may create shadow IT, where users gravitate to unsanctioned tools to fill that gap. As virtual communications become the norm, especially in highly regulated sectors such as finance, healthcare, and education, the challenge intensifies.  

Compliance management tools can ease this burden with features that help you adhere to communications compliance regulations. The ability to integrate compliance tools with your current collaboration platform adds another layer of benefit that helps lower your compliance concerns right inside the tools you use every day. Rather than choose between sub-par functionality and sacrificing information security, organizations are turning toward sophisticated compliance management solutions that enable them to leverage the full potential of modern communication tools without compromising on governance and risk management.

Zoom Compliance Manager powered by Theta Lake allows you to maximize your Zoom investment by leveraging the power of our all-in-one collaboration platform powered by AI. Experience the full potential of the collaboration tools you use every day as Zoom Compliance Manager can help archive and capture content across meetings, phone, chat, whiteboards, SMS, AI Companion, and more. It also allows compliance officers, admins, or security teams to perform eDiscovery, or put individuals on legal hold to capture and hold communications when required.

Today’s collaboration platforms produce a lot of data. From virtual meetings to AI-generated summaries, there are large numbers of data streams that could be vulnerable to risk. This can occur from a user sharing PII or confidential data with the wrong person, making promissory statements or misleading claims, and more. Intelligent compliance solutions go beyond the capabilities of traditional approaches and can sift through this high volume of data to detect compliance risks and breaches more effectively while adhering to industry and government regulations. This makes it easy to see why organizations need an advanced system that can perform contextual content analysis, identify sensitive data, and highlight potential compliance issues.

Zoom Compliance Manager can serve as an extension of your team to help you make intelligent decisions that will save time when you need it most. Our compliance management tool empowers a wide range of organizational roles, including IT staff and compliance officers, to not only monitor compliance collectively but also to take immediate action on any piece of content directly from the portal.
