History
The company was founded in Brooklyn, New York in 2001. The founder, Stephen Marsh, believed that the financial industry needed a better way to archive, store, and regulate its data as regulations required. In 2004, the company relocated its headquarters to Portland, Oregon.
In 2015, the company used its social media archiving tools to assist with a study on the use of social media by adolescents. Smarsh was contracted by CNN to host a secure server where social media use by participating students was monitored and analyzed. The Anderson Cooper 360° special report, #Being13: Inside the Secret World of Teens, was released in October 2015, and won an Emmy Award in the News and Documentary category.
Acquisitions
Smarsh has acquired a number of companies since its start in 2001. In 2008, it acquired the Connecticut-based CentraScan LLC, an email management service, and the California-based Financial Visions Inc., a website compliance company. In early 2012, the company acquired Perpetually, known for its web archiving technology. Smarsh acquired Presensoft, a cloud-based instant message archiving company, in 2015, and in December 2016, it acquired MobileGuard, a mobile communication monitoring and retention solutions provider.
