Remain Compliant with Ever-Changing Regulations

SOC 2 Type II Audit Seal.

Government regulations on Wall Street are always changing and evolving. We maintain and constantly update our technological and physical security and data privacy practices. At FSSI, data security and privacy as well as business continuity and disaster recovery are at the core of what we do. We pass annual SOC 2 audits and are HIPAA compliant in both our Santa Ana and Coppell Texas print and mail facilities.  Some of our security practices include:

  • Building security: Includes key cards, door alarms, security cameras, and gated entryways.
  • User/Server Level Security: All data files are secured by user permissions that are enforced by centralized domain policies.
  • Secure Data Standards: FSSI utilizes secure transmission protocols (SFTP) and PGP encryption for files at rest, along with an additional firewall network Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) – in addition to a multi-tiered architecture that separates the web layer from the data layer for added security.
  • Secure Data Archival Options: Several web-based storage and archival options are available. Access to client input is limited to authorized personnel.
  • Document Security: Regulatory documents containing personalized or sensitive customer data are deleted or shredded using FSSI’s commercial shredder or stored in a secure location if they are needed for a longer period.
  • Employee Education: Keeping staff well versed and vigilant in data security best practices is a priority at FSSI, from properly handling emails to staying safe online. Regular training via KnowBe4® encompasses relevant security awareness and online cybersecurity topics.
