Quest CE Presents Codex: The Social Media Archiving Solution

Online, November 7, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Quest CE, premier provider of insurance continuing education and FINRA firm element training, is proud to announce Codex, the industry's most comprehensive social media solution for firms seeking FINRA regulatory compliance. Under FINRA Notification 10-06, registered representatives must maintain a record of every interaction they have on social media websites. In three easy steps, Quest CE's Codex allows compliance officers to instantly approve, track, monitor and archive all of their representatives' posted materials in one, online accessible account.

Quest CE takes social media compliance to the next level by providing administrators the option to create preapproved profiles. Through the use of Codex's Pre-Approval Functionality, your compliance staff can ensure that the messages your representatives want to communicate with the public are in compliance with your firm's guidelines including information disclosure of the length of work history, the description of your company, and rules regarding sensitive information.

Once preapproved profiles are successfully created, the firm administrative staff or compliance office will select where they would like their archiving information retained. Quest CE's Codex allows firms to utilize their preexisting FINRA regulatory email/IT filing as an archive destination for firm convenience. Through Codex, archiving begins immediately after the application is integrated into firm's representatives' profiles and provides your firm with detailed activity reports. This allows firms to conduct random sampling of the profiles in accordance with FINRA's Notice to Members 11-39 regarding social media interactions. Archiving has now begun and administrators have the option to be provided with daily reports in either XML or Excel format, and all information will be retained in the archiving inbox. Notifications will be sent to the program administrator every time a representative has installed or enabled the Codex application. Codex creates a complete snapshot of activity regardless of where it occurs. Even if a representative temporarily uninstalls the application, Codex can recover downtime information to ensure a firm is in complete compliance with FINRA regulation.

Quest CE realizes social media provides a great opportunity for advisers to connect with clientele, coworkers, and industry trends. Firms using Codex can rest assured that their information will be safely compiled in case of FINRA audit, and in as little as one week and three easy steps, Quest CE's Codex can be your firm's social media archiving solution.
