DCS Backup Assists with FINRA & SEC
Backup Compliance
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the National Association
of Securities Dealers (NASD) have instituted mandatory compliance rules and
regulations affecting the storage of financial records by any financial institution
or advisory groups dealing with securities..
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is the non-profit organization
designed to regulate securities firms and stockbrokers to ensure that customer,
market and transaction data remains private, secure and continuously available.
FINRA is the largest independent regulator for all securities firms doing
business in the United States.
DCS Backup offers a cost effective, secure method for firms to reduce downtime,
minimize the risk of data loss and satisfy FINRA compliance issues. DCS Backup's
comprehensive backup solutions provide a secure, offsite data storage facility
to meet these strict government regulations and comply with increasingly rigorous
audit requirements.
By taking the cost and complexity out of data protection and regulatory compliance,
DCS Backup provides financial service firms peace of mind and better service
levels. That's why customers rely on DCS Backup as a trusted protector of
their data. At DCS Backup we share your expectations for service and quality.
Backed by an experienced service team that appreciates the importance of the
security of your clients' data, DCS Backup is the best solution for a complicated
