Records retention on Skype for Business conversations
I too am interested. We don't have any "work" phones, they are all personal phones used for work purposes.
I was under the impression that all conversations conducted within Skype were stored in Outlook's Conversation History.
I do know that if you are refering to normal SMS/texting then no, MDM doesn't get them. For us we'd have to take someone's phone and send it to a phone "forensics" company that would then retrieve all the messages for us (that would include non-work messages). Not a cheap proposition.
This is an area that is still weak with SfB. We need proper audit capability for it, we also need enforced conversation save.
Another weak area is that of DLP. We should be able to monitor conversations for inapppropriate information being shared and for inappropriate conversations. Bullying is a particular problem over IM. Sexual harrassment can also be an issue.
With file sharing enabled, SfB is also another path for data exfiltration, another reason for DLP to cover it.
