AdvisorVault's 17a-4 Managed 365 Service: Finally, Guaranteed FINRA Compliance On The Microsoft Cloud
Monday, September 16, 2024
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, Sept. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- 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.
AdvisorVault's 17a-4 Managed 365 Service is the answer for small FINRA firms needing compliance on the Microsoft cloud. Essentially, firms benefit using AdvisorVault by getting a Managed 365 Cloud provider who is ALSO a designated FINRA 17a-4 D3P able to meet today's demands by setting up a fully compliant Microsoft Cloud for firms. In addition, the service includes all key services for one flat monthly fee with everything needed to keep FINRA happy with a move to the cloud.

archiving.
2. Cybersecurity: Apply FINRA level best-practice cybersecurity policies on
