System and method for a cloud-based electronic communication vault

A method comprising:

• receiving, at a computing device, a message from an entity, the message comprising metadata designated by established communication protocol between the entity and a web service, the metadata indicating a linkage between a user and a user profile within a cloud-based repository;
• analyzing, via the computing device, the metadata in order to identify said linkage;
• parsing, via the computing device, the message to identify message information;
• and
• based on said analysis, communicating the message to said repository, said communication facilitates storing the message in the repository, said storage comprising organizing the message based on the identified message information.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium tangibly encoded with computer-executable instructions, that when executed by a processor, perform a method comprising:

• communicating over a network from a user to an entity, a request comprising identification information associated with the user and provided by a web service;
• receiving a response message from the entity addressed to the user in accordance with the identifying information, the response message indicating a desire to establish a trusted relationship between the entity and the web service;
• confirming the trusted relationship between the entity and the web service based on the identifying information;
• establishing a linkage between the user and a user account within a cloud-based repository associated with the web service;
• and
• communicating a communication protocol to the entity, said communication protocol comprising instructions for communications between the entity and the repository.

A system comprising:

• at least one computing device comprising one or more processors to execute and memory to store instructions to:
• communicating over a network from a user to an entity, a request comprising identification information associated with the user and provided by a web service;
• receiving a response message from the entity addressed to the user in accordance with the identifying information, the response message indicating a desire to establish a trusted relationship between the entity and the web service;
• confirming the trusted relationship between the entity and the web service based on the identifying information;
• establishing a linkage between the user and a user account within a cloud- based repository associated with the web service;
• and
• communicating a communication protocol to the entity, said communication protocol comprising instructions for communications between the entity and the repository.
