ND Mail +Hive MailPath: The Secret to Smart Email Compliance
ND Mail is a powerful solution for managing active email workflows, capturing and organizing messages in real time. However, most firms also have years of legacy email sitting in Exchange archives, PST files, or backup drives—data that often remains disconnected from compliance systems. This gap poses both operational and legal risks.
That is where Hive MailPath comes in. When paired with ND Mail, Hive MailPath builds a complete, compliant, and searchable email ecosystem within NetDocuments, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.
The Risk of Incomplete Email Records
Firms that lack a comprehensive email compliance strategy face several serious issues. Missed legal holds can occur if archived messages are not ingested into NetDocuments, placing them outside retention or hold policies. In addition, unsearchable correspondence can hide critical client communications, delaying responses during investigations or audits. These gaps also create challenges during eDiscovery, where incomplete records can lead to costly delays, sanctions, or even lost cases.
By unifying both active and legacy emails, firms eliminate blind spots that threaten compliance and client confidence.
How ND Mail and Hive MailPath Work Together
ND Mail manages the daily flow of communication by capturing and filing messages as they are sent or received. Meanwhile, Hive MailPath handles the heavy lifting of ingesting older or archived email from Exchange (on-premise or cloud), PST files, and backup systems. It preserves folder structures and metadata, ensuring that historical data remains intact and searchable.
When these two tools work together, they create a unified, policy-compliant, and searchable email repository within NetDocuments. As a result, legal teams can maintain visibility across all email activity—past and present—without adding manual processes.
The Result
With ND Mail and Hive MailPath, firms gain one centralized view of all email activity. Active and archived messages live in the same environment and follow the same governance policies, simplifying management and oversight. Furthermore, audits and eDiscovery requests become far less stressful because teams can easily locate old messages and demonstrate compliance. This level of transparency also helps reduce departmental silos, allowing attorneys and staff to collaborate confidently from a single source of truth.
Complete the Picture
ND Mail gives you control over the present, while Hive MailPath brings the past into focus. Together, they close compliance gaps and deliver a smarter, scalable approach to email governance. With both solutions in place, your firm gains a seamless, searchable, and defensible email environment that supports every stage of legal work.
