AdvisorVault Introduces their 17a-4 Managed 365 Service. A unique option specifically for small FINRA firms needing to meet compliance on the Microsoft Cloud.
NEW YORK - DelhiScan -- The AdvisorVault's 17a-4 Managed 365 Service includes full migration to Microsoft 365, a FINRA approved cybersecurity add on with a plug-in archiving data off the Microsoft cloud meeting the long-term electronic records retention & supervisory demands of rule 17a-4 with the D3P service and attestation letters - bundled in one product.
"FINRA firms have been approaching us lately, even ones already on Microsoft 365 worried about 17a-4 compliance." Said Allan Lonz, President of AdvisorVault. "I mean, some were using generic cloud service providers, others were on Google Workspace, but they weren't meeting rule 17a-4: they surely had gaps; data wasn't backed up; records on the cloud definitely weren't being retained for 17a-4, worst thing though, employees weren't cybersecure on the cloud, not by FINRA standards, in reality they were risking audit failure any day." Lonz added.
AdvisorVault's 17a-4 Managed 365 Service: Getting FINRA Firms Compliant on the Microsoft Cloud
Although the cloud is the best option for small FINRA firms, (Microsoft 365 ideally with all its features) by default its not 17a-4 compliant & it has lots of gaps out-of-the-box. Also, problem is few providers know how to make the cloud 17a-4 compliant - Microsoft themselves won't support compliance & Google lacks the tools needed to meet 17a-4.
