Financial Services Solutions

Manage the Risk of Disclosure

Prevent Sensitive Data from Leaking

Financial services organizations risk losing their competitive advantage when employees steal or lose investment strategies, customer accounts or other proprietary information. Utilizing the Kiteworks platform, financial services organizations limit file access to authorized users. In addition, knowing who is opening, editing, and sharing files provides critical transparency and helps protect clients’ personally identifiable information from an insider threat.

Secure and Streamline Back Office Processing

Automate File Transfers for Routine Operations

Automate and govern your firms daily back office process to provide more transparency around enterprise operations. Utilizing SFTP and API’s, you can pull data into the Kiteworks platform from outside or inside your organization, i.e. benchmark data feeds and internal accounting systems then push new files out to market data service platforms. Store point-in-time copies of files and monitor processes to expedite troubleshooting and ensure clean operational processes that are the cornerstone to your business. Pair this with front office communications to have a holistic view of all of your organization’s content in the front and back office.

Preserve Your Clients’ Financial Future

Protect Client Investments From Cyber Attacks

Financial services professionals handle vast amounts of personally identifiable information when processing claims, tax returns, and line of credit applications. The systems that hold this sensitive information therefore must remain impervious to sophisticated ransomware, malware and zero-day attacks from cyber criminals. The Kiteworks platform allows financial services organizations to protect client privacy and build trust through secure information exchange.

Help Your Clients, Wherever You Are

Stay Productive and Secure When Out of the Office

Financial services professionals advise their clients from airport terminals, rental cars, conference rooms and other locations, hindering their access to the most current information. Safe and simple access to up-to-date information, therefore, is critical to job success. The Kiteworks platform lets financial services professionals download equity research reports, edit customer presentations, share prospectuses and other tasks from any location, using any device, securely and in compliance with data privacy regulations.

Collaborate Effectively on Big Deals

Partner Securely with Clients and Colleagues

Large, complex projects like mergers and acquisitions, real estate development projects, and bankruptcies require extensive and discrete collaboration between financial service providers and their clients. The Kiteworks platform allows financial services professionals and their clients to safely and efficiently work together on deals involving sensitive information to ensure projects are completed on time.

Frequently Asked Questions

When selecting a secure file sharing solution for financial services firms, there are several features to consider. Look for a solution that offers: data loss prevention, encryption in transit and at rest, access control and activity logging, visibility into user activities (e.g., who sent what to whom and when), and an ability to integrate with other security solutions like data loss prevention (DLP), advanced threat protection (ATP), and content disarm and reconstruction (CDR) for a comprehensive security approach.

Financial services organizations must comply with several regulatory requirements, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), which requires institutions to protect the privacy and security of customer financial information.

The best file sharing solution for GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) compliance is one that is cloud-based, encrypted, and adheres to industry standards for security and privacy. The best file sharing solution should also provide features such as user access control, encryption, activity monitoring, and audit logs. Additionally, it should allow for easy data recovery and backup. Ultimately, the best file sharing for GLBA compliance should provide the highest level of data protection, privacy, and security.

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) applies to all businesses that store, process, or transmit credit card holder data. This includes all organizations, merchants, and service providers that handle credit and debit card payments.

While FINRA does not explicitly require file sharing to be compliant, financial services firms must ensure that any file sharing they do is in compliance with all applicable FINRA rules and regulations. FINRA Rule 4511, for example, requires broker-dealers to “make and preserve books and records in conformity with applicable laws, rules, regulations and statements of policy.” This means that financial services firms must ensure that their file sharing practices comply with all relevant regulations, including those set by FINRA.

The Kiteworks private content network is designed to help businesses unify, track, control, and protect their most sensitive data. Kiteworks helps financial firms meet compliance requirements, including those set by regulations like FINRA, GLBA, GDPR, and PCI DSS. The platform offers granular access controls, audit trails, and other security features that help firms comply with these regulations.
