SEC and NASD regulations related to
e-mail are increasing the burden of e-mail management on IT and compliance
professionals. Securities firms are facing new regulatory requirements
while e-mail volume continues to grow.
While government regulators are focusing on e-mail the SEC offers no specific
technology guidelines for managing e-mail. In recent years major firms
have been fined substantially based on e-mail.
In the past, firms archived e-mail but today compliance professionals
must manage far greater numbers of messages and review them for a growing
number of reasons. Existing solutions are technology-centric and are not
designed for business users.
Technical requirements for e-mail in the financial services industry are
unique. Increasing monitoring and review of e-mail due to regulatory requirements
has presented a major challenge to broker-dealers.
The role of non-technical compliance professionals has become both more
proactive and mission critical. Compliance and IT professionals agree
that traditional e-mail surveillance and archiving tools by themselves
are simply not up to the task.
