Managing FINRA email retention requirements.

As financial services organizations strive to comply with an increasingly complex regulatory environment, managing FINRA email retention requirements must be a top priority.

FINRA is the acronym for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, an independent, nonprofit organization that has been authorized by the U.S. Congress to write and enforce rules that govern the activities of financial securities firms and brokers. Failure to achieve FINRA compliance can result in substantial fines and penalties.

FINRA email retention regulations are designed to protect the security, integrity and accessibility of financial information contained in email sent and received by financial services organizations. FINRA email retention rules stipulate that:

Electronic correspondence must be retained for certain periods of time.
Email must be stored in a way that prevents alteration, deletion or loss of data.
Communications data must be easily accessed.
Duplicate copies of email must be stored in different locations to promote data integrity.

To simplify FINRA email retention management, financial services organizations need easy-to-use tools for email archiving and security. That's exactly what leading companies around the world get with Mimecast.
