Website Archiving

Prove what your website said — on any date a regulator asks.

Your public-facing web content is a regulated communication. Sharp Archive captures tamper-evident, point-in-time snapshots of your site automatically — so when an examiner, auditor, or records request comes, you can show exactly what was published and when.

Your website changes constantly. Regulators expect a record of every version.

A live site only shows today. But recordkeeping rules ask what your site said months or years ago — and "we updated it" isn't an answer. Sharp Archive keeps the history for you.

SEC Marketing Rule

RIA and broker-dealer websites are advertising under the SEC Marketing Rule. Every claim, disclosure, and performance figure needs a preserved record of when it appeared.

FOIA & public records

Government agencies, cities, and towns must retain public-facing web content. Sharp Archive captures it on a schedule, so records requests are simple to answer.

One archive, every channel

Your website lives in the same archive as your email, social, and messaging — searchable together, across all 23+ channels, in one place.

Archiving your site in three steps

1

Submit your URL

Add the website you want archived. Once approved, the feed is set up — no plugins to install, no code on your site.

2

Automatic snapshots

Sharp Archive captures point-in-time versions of your pages on a schedule, preserving content exactly as it appeared.

3

Browse, search, export

Navigate any archived version by date, search across pages and articles, and export any snapshot at no cost.

Intelligent Monitoring

Get alerted to what matters — not to everything.

Teams switching from other archivers tell us the same thing: their old system flags everything, so reviewers spend their days clearing noise — and the change that actually matters gets buried with the rest.

Sharp Archive scans your archived content as it's captured — across all 23+ channels, your website included — and checks it against the compliance rules that apply to your organization. Content gets a risk score, and only higher-risk items surface for review. Your team looks at what's actually a concern, not every routine update.

1

Scan on capture

Every snapshot and page is analyzed the moment it's archived — alongside your email, social, and messaging channels.

2

Score against the rules

Content is checked against the compliance rules that apply to you and assigned a risk score, with the specific concerning language highlighted.

3

Surface only what's flagged

When content crosses the risk threshold, your team is notified — so review time goes to genuine concerns, not routine edits.

Switching costs you nothing to start

Contract bridge
