Company profile
researched Aug 2026Archive Intel, operating as the d/b/a of Archive Intelligence, Inc., is a compliance software company headquartered at 8000 Avalon Blvd, Suite 100, Alpharetta, Georgia. Its platform lets regulated firms monitor, archive, and manage communications across iMessage, Android, WhatsApp, social media, web, email, chat, and other digital channels, consolidating communications archiving, marketing compliance, and oversight in a single platform. Features include real-time text archiving, customizable whitelisting, and an AI Marketing Review module that flags high-risk language, suggests compliant edits, and automates approvals under the SEC Marketing Rule, with each step logged for audit purposes.
