Every Critical Decision in Your Organisation Starts in Email.

But none of it is Governed.

Contracts are negotiated over email. Regulatory approvals are confirmed over email. Credit decisions, client instructions, policy exceptions, risk sign-offs — all of it begins in the inbox, before it reaches any formal system of record.

Email systems were built for communication. Not for governance. Not for regulatory audits. Not for litigation. The gap between what your email contains and what your compliance team can classify, retain, and retrieve on demand is where enterprise risk accumulates — silently, every day.

  • Departed employee mailboxes deleted within 60 days as standard IT practice
  • Attachments invisible to search and outside any retention schedule
  • Retention based on age or folder — not on record type, regulation, or business context

The Solution

AI-Driven Email Records Management. Not Just Any Vault — A Well Governed Records System.

NewgenONE Email Records Management captures every email at the point of creation — Exchange, Microsoft 365, Gmail, Teams — and governs it as an enterprise record. Each message is automatically classified by its record type, regulatory category, and retention schedule. Every record stored in WORM-compliant format with a tamper-proof audit trail.

This is not email archiving. This is email records governance — across the full lifecycle, on a single centralised platform, with AI doing the work that human teams cannot sustain at scale.

Four Capabilities. One Governed Records System.

◉
Capture at Creation

Every inbound and outbound email is captured at the mail server before it can be modified, moved, or deleted. No PST files. No departing-employee blind spots. No gap between what was sent and what is governed.

◈
AI Classification and Metadata

Every email is automatically classified by record type, regulatory category, and retention schedule — using ML models trained on industry-specific taxonomies. Manual classification eliminated at source.

◆
WORM Storage and Audit Trail

Every record stored in technically non-rewriteable, non-erasable format — enforcement at the storage layer, not the policy layer. Every access, export, and disposition action logged with timestamp, user identity, and purpose.

◎
Instant Defensible Retrieval

Full-text search across email bodies, metadata, and attachment content. A regulatory production request answered in hours. Natural language query via NewgenONE Marvin — ask for any record in plain language, get a governed exportable result.

From Inbox to Audit-Ready Record

01
Capture and Ingest

NewgenONE connects to your email infrastructure — Exchange, Microsoft 365, Gmail, Teams — and captures every message at the journal level, before user action can modify or delete it. All channels. All users. All attachments. From day one.

02
Classify, Govern, and Retain

AI classifies each email by record type, assigns the applicable retention schedule under the relevant regulatory framework, extracts metadata, and routes the record into the appropriate policy container. Multi-jurisdiction retention — FINRA, FCA, DPDP, ISO 15489 — enforced simultaneously. Automatically.

03
Retrieve, Hold, and Dispose

When a regulator, auditor, or legal team requests records, NewgenONE delivers a complete defensible result set — classified, chain-of-custody intact, exportable in required format. Legal hold freezes relevant records across custodians in seconds.

Email Is the Entry Point. The Full Records Estate Is the Destination.

NewgenONE Email Records Management is a capability within the NewgenONE Records Management platform — governing email, physical records, documents, and system-generated records on a single platform with a shared policy and retention framework. Email compliance is not a silo. It is the first record type in a unified governance architecture.
