MISA is an ecosystem of independent software vendors and managed security service providers that have integrated their security and compliance products with Microsoft’s to better defend against a world of increasing threats. To be considered for MISA, organizations must be nominated by Microsoft and demonstrate integrations that support the goal of improving enterprise security.

DataParser allows compliance teams to import, archive, and apply compliance solutions to third-party data from instant messaging and document collaboration platforms.


“We are thrilled to be included in MISA,” said Charles Weeden, Managing Partner of 17a-4, LCC. “Together we can help companies effectively manage third-party data to comply with regulations.”DataParser is one of the leading independent compliance solutions to bring third party data into an archive for retention and supervision. DataParser has no impact on the collected data source networks.

All ingested data sources are fully indexed and searchable via typical eDiscovery queries in the archive.
