Global Relay

What It Does

Global Relay is a cloud archiving and compliance company founded in 1999, based in Vancouver, Canada. Its core product, Global Relay Archive, captures and stores electronic communications — email, instant messaging, voice, social media, and collaboration tools — into a single searchable archive built for regulated industries. The platform is aimed primarily at financial services, but the same recordkeeping is used by legal, compliance, and IT teams for eDiscovery, legal holds, and data-retention mandates.

What We Found

Global Relay states it serves more than 20,000 firms worldwide and targets regulatory regimes including SEC, FINRA, MiFID II, GDPR, and FOIA. It captures content in full context (edits, deletions, reactions, threads) and supports role-based access and chain-of-custody tracking for audit defensibility. The company reports ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certification with encryption in transit and at rest. The connector list in this profile reflects the integrations the vendor publishes.
