Meet compliance mandates with confidence

Symphony provides a platform that enables the global financial services community to collaborate and communicate effectively. It has become an essential business communication tool, and as such, creates millions of electronic records daily. However, without the right solution in place to govern its usage, the popularity of platforms like Symphony open enterprises up to risk. Smarsh helps reduce the risk of data loss, breach, and non-compliance with regulatory mandates so employees can communicate with confidence. Smarsh capture and archiving solutions for Symphony enable:

  • Comprehensive Compliance: Meet strict mandates set by FINRA, SEC, FCA, MiFID II and other regulatory requirements by capturing and controlling the data exchanged in Symphony’s financial workflows. With certain deployments, administrators can receive alerts and logs of interactions based on policy controls to reduce the risk of data leaks inside and outside the firm.
  • Capture financial workflow communications in context: Smarsh captures all Symphony content and attachments shared in individual or group chat sessions. Content can be viewed as threaded conversations, preserving the original context of a communication. These conversational “snapshots” result in less time-consuming and more efficient review for your compliance and review staff.
  • Simplified supervision and e-discovery: Export content to the Enterprise Archive for supervisory and e-discovery applications. The advanced search and display of interactions in context make e-discovery and supervision simple and cost efficient.
  • End-to-end security: Whether data is in transit or at rest.
