AdvisorVault Adds Office 365 to its Consolidated 17a-4 D3P Service
Wisconsin Eagle/10148046

NEW YORK - WisconsinEagle -- AdvisorVault is now a certified Microsoft partner able to host Microsoft 365 apps for its customers and give them a  Compliant WorkSpace in the cloud

For most small FINRA firms, technology has become a big mess. Stuck with an outdated email system that surely isn't being archived as per 17a-4, they end up with data all over the place: on laptops, in the cloud and some saved on a server under the sink in the office kitchen. Also, trying to collaborate with everybody is a nightmare most the time and let's not even mention security, viruses, or data protection. This hodgepodge has turned into a dog's breakfast, but for FINRA firms, the dog is a regulator who comes in and bites the compliance officer in the behind.

However, it's important that firms understand that the Microsoft cloud, by default is not 17a-4 compliant. For example, out-of-the-box users can simply delete emails or data at any time, also records aren't retained by Microsoft to meet the archiving demands of FINRA, security must be added, while connectors to other systems for archiving of third-party data such as social media must be properly configured by the D3P.
