SAINT PETERSBURG, Fla. - PennZone -- AdvisorVault, the experts in 17a-4 data archiving, partner with Compliant Workspace to help FINRA firms get on Microsoft 365.

Today, many FINRA firms want to move their operations to the Microsoft 365 Cloud but are worried how compliant they will be, specifically with rule 17a-4 and its email and data retention demands. They also need to meet FINRA's cybersecurity requirements. Compliant Workspace is a perfect fit for them with its fully secured, fully protected solution out-of-the-box - AdvisorVault is happy to partner with them.

Microsoft 365 makes sense for FINRA firms, especially for smaller firms since it is a complete platform that gives employees everything needed to do their jobs. While it is a remarkable piece of technology, by default Microsoft's Cloud is not 17a-4 compliant and they won't be able to provide the FINRA letters that your firm will need. So a special kind of D3P cloud provider is required; one that understands the unique compliance demands of firms such as broker-dealers.
