IM Hygiene includes archival and authorization, the first components of building Trusted IM. While many IM Hygiene vendors claim that archival and authorization control secures IM, without encryption and authentication, "hygiene" is simply a process of restricting and limiting IM use.

At Presensoft, it is our goal to enable companies to use IM for all business communications. We believe that archival and authorization are essential to a secure IM management regime, but in order to fully unlock the potential of presence-based communication, IM hygiene must be combined with encryption and authorization technology.
