 Marko Zivanovic — Senior System Engineer & Technical Consultant

Keep everything.
Prove anything.

I design, run and troubleshoot compliance archiving and data-protection platforms for regulated environments — from Enterprise Vault and Cryoserver to Microsoft Purview, Exchange and Microsoft 365. Based in Switzerland, working to FINMA and nDSG standards.

Focus areas

Three platforms I work with daily — where the job is not just to store data, but to retain it, protect it and produce it on demand.

Ref ARC-EV · Since the Veritas era

Enterprise Vault

Cloud Software Group — formerly Veritas / Arctera

Architecture, operations and deep-dive troubleshooting across the full stack: mailbox, journal and SMTP archiving, EV.cloud, Microsoft Teams collection, Discovery Accelerator, Compliance Accelerator and Merge1.

Journaling · SMTP · EVSVR diagnostics · Migrations

Ref GOV-PV · Microsoft 365

Microsoft Purview

Data Loss Prevention · Information Protection

DLP for Microsoft 365 and on-premises data: policy design, custom Sensitive Information Types, Exact Data Match (EDM) and migrations from legacy DLP suites — with data residency in scope for FINMA- and nDSG-regulated organisations.

Custom SITs · EDM · On-prem scanner · Data residency

Ref ARC-CS · Email compliance

Cryoserver

Compliant email archiving

Tamper-evident email archiving for organisations that must retain and retrieve on demand: journaling, retention design and audit-ready search for reviews, audits and eDiscovery requests.

Profile

I’m a system engineer and technical consultant based in Switzerland, with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and more than seven years in enterprise IT consulting. My day-to-day work covers system monitoring, support, customer consulting, project management and delivery.

The common thread is data with obligations attached: messaging, archiving and compliance platforms for organisations — many in the Swiss financial sector — that answer to FINMA and the nDSG. That means environments where retention is non-negotiable, discovery has deadlines and “it probably still exists somewhere” is not an acceptable answer.

Outside the data centre I keep a busy home lab and, when a laptop is not enough, I plug it into a car instead.
