FINRA members are responsible for considering FINRA guidance when creating their cybersecurity programs. Businesses will be assessed by FINRA as to whether their cybersecurity programs are fit for purpose.

GRS’s Compliant Reports show Desired Configuration Management (DCM) for user account and settings, such as accounts that have been compromised, policies on the usage of mobile devices, and Litigation Hold.

Organizations can take advantage of Microsoft Office 365’s Data Loss Prevention (DLP) functions to figure out which communications reveal the personally identifiable information (PII) of their clients.

When PII policies have been triggered, these documents can be tracked and logged through SharePoint DLP and GRS’s Audit for Exchange feature.

Did you know that Microsoft 365 has an Advanced Threat Protection function? Together with Threat Intelligence Reports from GRS, firms can identify the presence of malware, attempted brute force attacks, and any suspicious logins.

A response plan is vital in protecting your firm against data loss and theft. With GRS, you can begin your response with a comprehensive usage report.

These reports will track every action on any workstation. Part of your response plan should include a GRS Office365 report for each employee within your firm to pinpoint intrusions.

Data on workstation activity is stored securely for a year and includes every user action, including downloads, file access, and workstation settings changes. Every action is accompanied by dates and precise times.

Audit reports can be enacted after every type of malware and ransomware attack so you can see which files were accessed during the attack.

Access Office365 administrative actions to track where compromised accounts are being accessed from, on which device, and when.
