Simplifying SEC Compliance in the Cloud Era with RSMS Vault

EDISON, N.J. - Oct. 8, 2025 - PRLog -- For broker-dealers, meeting SEC Rule 17a-4 is not merely a compliance checkbox — it's an ongoing commitment to trust, transparency, and operational integrity. The regulation demands far more than simple data storage. From WORM (Write Once, Read Many) compliance to HOLD provisions, supervisory oversight, and auditable retention, the requirements are complex and uncompromising.

The challenge? Most firms still rely on outdated, fragmented systems that were never built for today's regulatory intensity or digital agility. Compliance teams spend valuable time reconciling manual logs, monitoring exceptions, and piecing together workflows — all while juggling mounting oversight expectations.

It's time for a smarter, more resilient approach.

The Compliance Challenge
Legacy WORM-compliant solutions were designed to "lock data," not to help teams manage, monitor, and audit it effectively. These tools satisfy the basic rule, but not the real-world demands of a modern compliance environment.

As a result, broker-dealer compliance teams face persistent pain points:

Manual Oversight Overload — Exception tracking, reconciliation, and incident reporting are often handled manually, consuming time and introducing risk.
Limited Monitoring — Without automated alerts or analytics, potential compliance issues go unnoticed until it's too late.
Fragmented Controls — Disconnected systems force teams to stitch together compliance workflows, increasing both complexity and vulnerability.
Weak Data Governance — Lack of visibility into stored records complicates audits, increasing regulatory exposure.
These gaps don't just slow down operations — they heighten the risk of non-compliance, reputational harm, and escalating costs.
