10% below any quote
Send us a quote from any vendor — Smarsh, Global Relay, Mimecast, anyone. We come in 10% under it for your full term. Same FINRA compliance, modern platform.
Locked into another vendor? If your contract has six months or less remaining, we cover Sharp Archive at no cost until it expires. Payments only begin when your old contract runs out — so you never pay for two systems at once.
What we capture from Microsoft 365
Native capture across your entire Microsoft environment — inbound, outbound, internal, and deleted. No manual exports, no IT project.
All inbound & outbound mail
Every Exchange and Microsoft 365 message, captured in real time as it sends and receives.
Deleted & recovered mail
Messages a user deletes are still preserved — so the record survives even when the mailbox doesn't.
Attachments & metadata
Files, headers, timestamps, and sender/recipient data captured intact for audit and discovery.
Spam & junk folders
Complete coverage across every folder, so nothing falls outside the archived record.
Why Microsoft 365 archiving is required, not optional
If your firm is regulated by FINRA or the SEC, your email is a business record you are legally required to preserve. SEC Rule 17a-4 requires tamper-evident retention. FINRA Rules 3110, 3120, and 3130 require supervision and review.
Microsoft's own retention tools were built for IT, not compliance. They don't give examiners a clean, searchable, third-party record — and they don't cover the social, messaging, and off-channel communications behind $2B+ in recent SEC and FINRA enforcement.
Sharp Archive does. One archive, one search, one bill — across 23+ platforms.
