As the regulatory landscape tightens its grip on digital communications, the imperative for exhaustive capture and archival of electronic dialogues grows increasingly critical.
Companies now face heightened challenges to stay compliant across an expanding gamut of digital communication avenues—from the staples of email and phone to the evolving realms of social media, text messaging, and collaborative tools.
Within this complex framework, ACA’s eComms Archive and Surveillance Solution, a key component of the ComplianceAlpha® RegTech platform, is a tool that can help, enabling firms to seamlessly record communications across myriad channels that might otherwise elude oversight.
Digital communication modalities are in a constant state of flux, necessitating unwavering diligence from firms to record all business-related exchanges. This necessity is underscored by the recent surge in regulatory fines, highlighting the persistent risk posed by off-channel communications—including text messages and applications like WhatsApp and personal emails.
