Honcho -- Rugged Individualists in Legal and Compliance

There is no such thing as ‘delete’ anymore. Every word we type exists in perpetuity — likely in more places than one. Seemingly by the day, we adopt new platforms and services to connect, communicate and collaborate.

The challenge is that every keystroke across every communication platform represents the potential demise of a company or the employee who wrote it. Good companies have historically relied on email repositories, spot checks and constant employee training to stem the damage. But the swell is too much and it affects everyone from the Board Room to the mailroom.

Neither companies nor individuals are equipped to self-police our every word choice. It’s inhuman. And yet, it’s our reality.
