Quest CE Unveils Codex, the Financial Services Industry's Only Turnkey Social Media Compliance Solution

Quest CE, premier provider of insurance continuing education and FINRA firm element training unveils Codex, the Financial Services Industry’s only turnkey social media compliance solution. Quest CE’s Codex is the next generation of social media compliance, providing firms with a full suite of solutions including social media policy and pre-approval attestation services for registered representatives, social media archiving, supervisory and representative social media training, social media representative survey, and website and corporate blog archiving in native format. Firms must comply with FINRA regulation, and Quest CE’s progressive approach towards complete compliancy is the first of its kind.

The compliance needs for the Financial Services Industry pertaining to social media use for businesses has shifted to include more than just content archiving. Quest CE responded to these needs by adding supplemental services on top of their premiere social media archiving capabilities. When a firm purchases Codex, they are able to seamlessly integrate the social media archival destination directly into their journaling address using Erado partnered technology; this can be the firm’s preexisting FINRA email archiving account.

Codex’s one of a kind preapproval process is created for representatives by allowing firms to upload a social media template and policy, or utilize the Quest CE provided materials. Representatives wishing to use Codex must sign an online attestation through the centralized dashboard affirming that they understand and will abide by both the assigned template and policy. Compliance officers will be able to access their firm’s attestation records in case of non-compliance; these records take the responsibility off the firm and place it upon the individual representative.

Social media in the Financial Services Industry is new territory for many firms and representatives. Firms or their representatives can elect to take Codex Supervisory and Registered Representative Social Media Training to enhance their understanding of social media compliance. Quest CE’s industry authored courses provide insight to regulatory compliance and the correct use of social media for business in the financial service arena. Accompanying training courses, firms have access to the social media representative survey. This survey allows firms to gather a census of all their representatives’ social media profiles, both for business and personal use, affirming to FINRA that they are monitoring social media compliance to the best of their abilities.

Social media is not the only service addressed within Codex; firms can also designate to use the website and corporate blog archiving functionality that captures a site in its native format. This unique feature satisfies FINRA and SEC requirements regarding archiving systems for a firm’s public websites and blog activities. The Codex application offers native format functionality which uses a dynamic archival web crawler to catch active and non-active materials, capturing website language, html, cascading style sheets, embedded media, and Flash animation. Firms will then be able to access their archival system to see exactly how their website or blog functioned on a desired date. Quest CE’s Codex is the first and only turnkey Social Media Compliance Solution offering a complete spectrum of FINRA solutions. Codex can be utilized as an entire suite, a bundle of options, or as individual service based upon a firms specific needs.
