17a-4 offers a new suite of services for Designated Third Party clients

MILLBROOK, N.Y., Dec. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- 17a-4, LLC is combining a set of services and software into a suite for smaller financial institutions to easily and cost-effectively address their compliance requirements. The new Designated 3rd Party (D3P) suite provides support for critical issues commonly revealed in D3P reviews. Combining and discounting these services and software greatly simplifies how broker/dealers and other financial institutions may address their significant compliance concerns.

Included in the suite:

    --  17a-4's Designated 3rd Party services. D3P representation, letters for
        regulatory filings and archive reviews that include a deep understanding
        of repositories used for compliance data including:
        --  Microsoft's Office 365 (retention policy and preservation lock
            monitoring)
        --  Azure Blob Storage (file shares and databases)
        --  Google's G Suite, Google Vault and Bucket Lock
        --  Amazon Web Services (AWS) Glacier

        --  Box
    --  DataParser for Azure Blob storage. This software provides clients an
        extremely easy and cost-effective tool for managing the archiving of
        records in Microsoft's cloud.
    --  eDisclaimer. One of the challenges for financial institutions is how to
        manage their email disclaimer language. 17a-4 provides a service that
        allows for a URL to be added at the end of a message rather than the
        full-text of the disclaimer. 17a-4 provides expert witness testimony at
        no charge for verification that a specific disclaimer was part of an
        email record.
    --  SEC DeskTop. The DeskTop is a platform for compliance officers to save
        many types of compliance documents including HR, financial, supervisory
        policies and regulatory filings.

"By conjoining these offerings into a single, simple suite," offers Douglas Weeden, Director of Compliance Services, "compliance teams can quickly have the tools they need to comply with SEC and FINRA regulations for managing and retaining compliance records."
