How Hive Connect Bridges the Gap Between Collaboration and Compliance
Legal teams thrive on collaboration. Yet as firms adopt more tools such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and email, the risk of unmanaged data exposure grows quickly. Conversations take place everywhere, but governance often fails to keep up.
Hive Connect ensures that every message, file, and digital exchange, no matter the platform, follows the same policies, protections, and audit standards.
The Collaboration Compliance Problem
Modern collaboration tools are fast, flexible, and user-friendly. However, they were not designed with legal compliance in mind. Without unified governance, firms encounter several risks. Slack and Teams messages often go unarchived, unlike email, which leaves conversations unlogged. File sharing is another concern. Documents sent through chat applications may never reach the document management system. Legal holds also become incomplete if applied to Outlook but not to Teams or Slack.
This lack of consistency creates serious risk, particularly during audits, investigations, or litigation.
How Hive Connect Solves It
Hive Connect brings both structure and security to modern collaboration. It captures and centralizes communication data, ensuring that Slack threads, Teams chats, and Outlook attachments are indexed and preserved. At the same time, it applies governance policies across all channels, so legal holds, retention rules, and access controls remain consistent. In addition, Hive Connect integrates seamlessly with Hive Discover, which makes all communications searchable and defensible during eDiscovery.
Use Case
During a high-stakes merger, one firm used Hive Connect to safeguard its communications. The solution captured Slack messages, Teams calls, and Outlook threads while preserving them in a centralized system. As a result, the firm maintained a complete and defensible record of the deal without relying on manual processes.
Turn Collaboration into a Compliance Asset
Collaboration doesn’t have to be a compliance risk. With Hive Connect, legal teams can work freely knowing every conversation is protected, preserved, and policy aligned.
