DCS Assists with FINRA & SEC Backup Compliance
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) have instituted mandatory compliance rules and regulations affecting the storage of financial records by any financial institution or advisory groups dealing with securities..
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is the non-profit organization designed to regulate securities firms and stockbrokers to ensure that customer, market and transaction data remains private, secure and continuously available. FINRA is the largest independent regulator for all securities firms doing business in the United States.
DCS Backup offers a cost effective, secure method for firms to reduce downtime, minimize the risk of data loss and satisfy FINRA compliance issues. DCS Backup’s comprehensive backup solutions provide a secure, offsite data storage facility to meet these strict government regulations and comply with increasingly rigorous audit requirements.
