Why is social archiving important?
Social media archiving requirements vary by state, Orlo covers them all
Every US government agency is required to archive its social media activity, but the specific retention periods and compliance standards vary depending on where you operate. Orlo’s unlimited storage means you are covered regardless of your state’s requirements.
Key federal requirements
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requires federal and state agencies to preserve all official digital communications, including social media posts, comments, replies and deleted content, as public records.
NARA recordkeeping directives require federal agencies to capture social media content with full metadata and timestamps intact.
Examples of state-level archiving requirements
What this means for your agency
Whether you are subject to a 2-year or 7-year retention requirement, Orlo automatically captures and stores every post, comment, reply, edit and deletion from the moment you connect your accounts, with metadata and timestamps preserved for every record.
No manual processes. No risk of gaps. No additional cost.
Why pay for a standalone archiving tool when Orlo’s social media management platform already includes it?
Most city and county agencies use separate tools for social media management and archiving, essentially paying twice for what should be one integrated workflow. With Orlo, social media archiving is built into the same platform you use to publish, schedule, listen and engage. Every post is automatically archived the moment it goes out. No manual exports. No separate login. No duplicate vendor contracts.
