“Increasingly there’s going to be a look at
technology… and how technology supports
everything from policy governance to risk assessment
to training. If the business is spending a lot on
technology to make money and drive the business
and not spending money on technology to facilitate
risk and compliance and control, there’s a
disequilibrium there.”
~ Carlo do Florio,
SEC Director of Compliance

2012 Magic Quadrant for
Enterprise Information Archiving
Good afternoon.My name is Jackie Augusta and I am with Smarsh. It's an honor to be on stage at the first RIA in a Box Roadshow
Sometimes the internet provides wisdom. You can find many sources of information including white papers, rules and regulations, and get research into evolving areas of innovation. Sometimes it seems like good information is limitless.
But then again, sometimes you find things that are inaccurate, misleading, completely false, and sometimes a scam.
These days, anyone with a personal computer, a smart phone, or even a public library card can put things on the internet and share their wisdom. From what I read, wisdom is like art. The beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
And folks aren’t just using social networks in the office or at home in front of the computer. They use it everywhere. At the Starbucks, on the beach, in the car…even when their driving, and yes….it’s true, even in the restroom. Seriously folks, it can wait.Over 1/3 of Facebook posts are from mobile devices.
But as with everything else in the wealth management and trading industry, there are rules that govern how we behave in these outlets. Innovation usually outpaces regulation, but regulation eventually catches up and holds firms accountable for activities even before the guidance was completely clear. So you must ask yourself, what policies does your firm have in place and what regulations do apply to social media? As a registered representative you need to know what the regulators are saying about electronic communications, including social media, and they are saying a lot.
This slide lists references to regulations and guidance that are related to the use of electronic communications. Even though you are investment advisors and may not be FINRA members, I think it is important to understand what FINRA and other regulatory bodies are saying. The standards are shifting and the SEC until recently really hadn’t given many clues about how advisors should implement a compliance program. Their guidance is evolving and I think its closer to FINRAs than not.

There is no shortage of archiving solutions out there. What sets Smarsh apart and what really matters to our clients is what happens after the data is archived. Our platform can archive virtually any communication type, and we work hard to ensure that we are doing it in every given solution's native format. This is particularly important when it comes to e-discovery across multiple content types. We don't convert social media data into email. Once the data is in our archive, we give our clients the ability to search data intelligently and quickly. We also have put considerable work into the ability to automate categorization and actions that can be taken on messages. Finally, our data production services helps clients when they need it the most. Be it litigation or a regulatory exam, we make it as fast and easy as possible for clients to get the right data, when they need it.
