SND Archive

What SND Archive is

SND Archive is a web-based social media archiving solution for government, public safety, and education organizations handling Open Records compliance. It automatically collects and stores available content and metadata from Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, Nextdoor, Bluesky, and Threads. Archived material can be retained for Open Records retention periods, including content that has been deleted or modified. Users can search and retrieve records, build cases, and export selected social media items. Alerts can flag objectionable or illegal material and keywords selected by the organization. SND Archive can operate as a standalone solution or integrate with Social News Desk’s social media management software. Social News Desk says customers can import existing archive data from another provider, including direct imports from other archiving tools. The Archive offering includes onboarding, monthly webinars, tutorials, free eBooks, and support from social media experts every day of the year. Social News Desk lists SOC 2 Type 2 compliance among its platform security features. Access is through web-based applications and platforms via socialnewsdesk.com or another designated URL. Pricing is customized, and prospective customers are directed to book a demo.
