Fortiva was an email archiving company founded in 2005 by Paul Chen, the former CEO and founder of FloNetwork (later acquired by DoubleClick). Fortiva's Software-as-a-Service email archiving service introduced a "hybrid" method, taking advantage of storage and services "in the cloud" while leaving control over email services at the customer site. As a result, the company claimed to offer businesses the benefits of an in-house product with the advantages of a managed solution. Fortiva's archiving suite was first unveiled onstage at Demo [1], one of the leading to learn about new technologies that exemplify and lead emerging trends.

Fortiva was notable for its use of a proprietary method of data security, known as DoubleBlind Encryption. DoubleBlind Encryption ensured that customer data was encrypted at the customer site before being sent to Fortiva's secure datacenters. As a result, even Fortiva's own staff could not breach the security of the data.

Fortiva was acquired in May, 2008 by Proofpoint.
