19 How do regulators view Social Media
How do regulators view Social Media? JUST ANOTHER FORM OF ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION… FINRA’s mission: To protect investors by maintaining fairness in markets Same rules apply: Social Media falls under existing “media-neutral” requirements, including: Recordkeeping: capture & preservation of electronic business records SEC Rule (RIAs & Hedge Funds) SEC Rule 17a-3 & 17a-4; FINRA Rule 3110 (Broker-Dealers) Supervision and enforcement of supervisory policies SEC Rule 206(4)-7 (RIAs & Hedge Funds) FINRA Rule 3010 & Regulatory Notice (Broker-Dealers) Audit Readiness: Considerations when producing data for regulators Online access (Auditor login) vs. data extraction (FTP, PST, hard drive) Turnaround speed: need to furnish “promptly” – determine time required to export reviewer-defined data Communications With the Public: Regulatory Notice & FINRA Rule 2210 (Effective Feb. 4, 2013) Specific to Social Media: FINRA Regulatory Notices & 11-39 Before engaging in social media use, firms must be sure that they have technology to record and retain these communications Global Relay – Proprietary & Confidential

20 Social Media Compliance regulatory considerations
Social Media is subject to the same regulatory requirements for electronic communications For example, IIROC Dealer Member Rule 29.7, plus SEC/FINRA Social Media requires compliant solutions. A few examples: Type Deemed by IIROC Examples Compliance Considerations Public Profile Original Advertisement Facebook Profile LinkedIn Profile Pre-Review Access Controls Archiving Status Updates Interactive Electronic Forum Twitter Tweets Facebook Status Updates Access Controls Pre or Post-Review depending on your firm’s specific policies Electronic Correspondence LinkedIn Messages Access Controls Supervision & Monitoring

21 …However, Note Key Differences with Social Media NEW APPROACHES FOR NEW COMMUNICATION METHODS
Categorizations of Social Media Communications Static Content Static: content that remains posted until changed by the firm or individual; accessible to all site visitors. Requires principal pre-approval. Examples: Initial Tweets, Facebook Wall Posts, LinkedIn Network Updates Interactive Content Interactive: real-time communication; requires supervision after the fact (on a risk basis) Examples: , IM, Facebook Wall Comments, LinkedIn Network Comments, Retweets Linking to Third-Party Content Firms are responsible for content of linked sites & what reps endorse “Linking” or endorsing can trigger entanglement principles SEC concept of “prominence and proximity” Examples: Facebook “Likes”, Twitter “Retweets”, LinkedIn “Recommendations” Global Relay – Proprietary & Confidential

22 What About Mobile Devices
What About Mobile Devices? SOCIAL MEDIA TOOLS ARE THE MOST POPULAR SMARTPHONE APPS A ubiquitous pairing: Social Media & smartphones More than one third of Facebook members access via smartphone Mobile users are twice as active on Social Media FINRA: The communication, not the device, is determinative Same rules apply for social media content on smartphones Mobile makes Recordkeeping more difficult Make sure your social media compliance solution can capture social media content generated on: Mobile devices: smartphones, tablets (BlackBerry, iPhone, iPad, Android etc.) Home computers Public computers (hotels, airport kiosks, etc.) Global Relay – Proprietary & Confidential

23 Social Media Compliance via Policy
Best practices for achieving compliant social media via policy Approval workflow: implement for social media For example, employees must seek CCO/Legal approval before posting certain social media elements, such as a profile, credentials, referrals, advisor websites, preapproved content, etc. Training: provide social media compliance education for employees Make ongoing education mandatory for employees who use and review social media Limit use of your firm’s name and/or product names Decrease risks to your firm (such as data leaks) Prohibit social media communications that recommend investments or products Unless a registered principal has approved the content Revisit existing supervision frequencies & plans Ensure they are appropriate for social media Access: Select which social media sites employees can visit Restrict what is non-essential: home use, mobile devices Global Relay Communications Inc - Proprietary & Confidential

24 Social Media Compliance via Technology
Best practices for achieving compliant social media via technology Select a message archiving vendor that offers social media compliance capability Capture: Ensure the vendor has the capability to capture & retain all social media data for each user Unify: Integrate social media data to your existing message archive alongside other message types such as , Bloomberg, BlackBerry, Thomson Reuters, Instant Messaging, etc. Supervise: Leverage the supervisory capabilities within your archive – add social media messages to your firm’s message monitoring & review process Consider a third-party social media compliance tool to enforce policies Block/allow specific actions – for example, block Facebook Games or LinkedIn Recommendations Specify activity permission per employee – for example, staff other than registered reps have read-only access to social media sites Conclusion: Social media is here to stay and if managed wisely, it can be a useful tool for your business.
