Regulate Your FINRA 17a-4 Data Compliance With AdvisorVault

Plugging 17a-4 Data Compliance Holes with FINRA Registered D3P AdvisorVault

A small FINRA registered firm was facing significant challenges with their technology infrastructure and data compliance framework. Recognizing the potential gaps in their compliance efforts, including an end-of-life Windows server, ineffective file syncing processes using ShareFile and an outdated email service from Intermedia, they went looking for a comprehensive solution that would not only transition their firm to Microsoft 365 but also ensure adherence to 17a-4 regulations. Their search led them to AdvisorVault and their Consolidated 17a-4 D3P service. 

AdvisorVault CEO Allan Lonz explained the migration toward 365 for FINRA firms: "With the Consolidated 17a-4 D3P service, AdvisorVault can quickly pinpoint and address multiple compliance gaps for FINRA registered clients simultaneously. When migrating firms onto Microsoft 365, we provided a compliant archiving plug-in that automatically safeguards all of the pertinent cloud-stored data. This enables tech confused FINRA firms to retire old servers while giving them the ability to leverage Exchange Online + SharePoint for enhanced collaboration and efficiency." 

Smaller FINRA firms often find themselves grappling with older overlapping technology and software systems, leading to holes in company data management and compliance, unbeknownst to management. Recognizing this common struggle among firms, AdvisorVault specializes in providing comprehensive solutions that smooth the transition to Microsoft 365 while ensuring strict 17a-4 compliance, effectively resolving the technology-related challenges faced by small firms.
