Investment Banking
Investment Banking groups routinely handle material non-public information. Each deal must be secured individually and never shared with those that provide research to the market place. SecureZone360’s full suite of information barriers, business process security and complete auditing history has been brought to bear to ensure that deal information continues to flow while being properly secured throughout its entire lifecycle.
Trade Confirmations
Operations groups must exchange a high volume of client confidential information with a multitude of counterparties. Sending the wrong confirmation or other documentation to the wrong client is a real and constant concern. SecureZone360’s email recipient validation and secure document delivery service ensures that the right information will always be delivered securely to the intended party.
Compliance Reviews
Compliance is tasked with reviewing a wide range of issues involving sensitive information from trade clearance to conflicts of interest. SecureZone360’s intuitive solution designer enables compliance to set up their own review processes on the fly, with all the necessary secure information storage, email and application security and auditing capabilities created automatically.
Credit Analysis
Credit analysts are charged with reviewing sensitive pre-deal information across multiple business lines. Their access must be restricted to the industries they cover as well as ensured that the information they review is not shared inappropriately. SecureZone360’s information slice entitlements made it easy to precisely limit access to just the appropriate information while secure realms ensured that information could only be shared appropriately.
Sovereign Information Barriers
Countries with strict secrecy laws present a challenge to any global financial institution. Information boundaries must always be enforced while allowing non-sensitive and scrubbed information to flow across when appropriate. With SecureZone360’s seamless security realms, cross-realm approval workflows and full auditing capabilities, business can be conducted without interruption, while information secrecy laws are obeyed and their compliance fully demonstrated.
Regulatory Communication
Throughout the year, banks must provide highly confidential and often proprietary information to federal and state regulatory authorities. One firm was concerned about the leakage of this information as it needed to be collected from every corner of the organization, reviewed for completeness and then presented securely to the regulators. SecureZone360’s secure Virtual File System (VFS), context based entitlements and secure document delivery service provided a simple and user-friendly Information Protection solution with all the necessary security and controls.
Brokerage Audits
Each year thousands of clients’ brokerage statements were being printed and delivered to thousands of auditors at hundreds of different firms. This process was extremely manually intensive and prone to error. The highly sensitive information had to be delivered to the right recipient, securely and efficiently. SecureZone360’s automated entitlements, secure document collaboration portal, email recipient validation and comprehensive 360-degree reporting provided the complete Information Protection solution.
Loan Syndication
SEC regulations require that the highly confidential client information that banks use to effectively structure a loan must not be shared with traders who are consulted to price it. The penalty for inappropriately sharing this information can be extremely costly. With SecureZone360’s unique Information Protection solution design technology, the Loan Syndication department was able to automatically apply a complete security control solution over the group’s information. Information barriers ensured that traders would never be entitled to the wrong information and automated access recertification workflows guaranteed that entitlements were always kept up with changes in users’ responsibilities.
