The SEC has guidelines but those mostly apply to financial institutions. If your company is publicly traded there may be some guidelines. This question is best passed through your legal department first.

We don't currently have a policy for email retention - we keep monthly backups for 1 year. The only information that I can find (and I may not be looking in the right places) says that retention is based on your company's communicated policy. We're an apparel company, so it's not like there's other special retention requirements on us. My bosses just decided this was important. Thanks.
