Freeze That Page before It Goes Dark
June 12, 2011
Have you ever wondered how social media websites meet the regulatory record keeping requirements put into place by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA)?
Yeah…me neither.
Oh well, we’re all going to find out. In TMCnet.com’s article “PageFreezer offers FINRA-Compliant Social Media Archiving” we get to learn about the software that helps them to do that.
PageFreezer is a global provider of media archiving and offers regulations compliancy solutions as well as litigation protection. We learned:
It’s not just the large financial companies and institutions that need to consider their social networking activity from a compliance standpoint,” noted Riedyk. “The individuals in the financial sector — investment advisors and the like – must comply with their firms retention policies. PageFreezer is a solution and it gets the job done perfectly.
PageFreezer.com is the solution for preserving Web content. It is important that archives be able to be reproduced quickly and kept in a format that will allow said reproduction because the archives must be kept for up to seven years and they must be tamper proof. It can create a lot of mess and backlog if done improperly. PageFreezer creates a tamper proof system by stamping each page with a signature and a timestamp then filing it in a fault proof database.
