Global Relay introduces new connector to help regulated firms capture SMS & MMS messages on Verizon mobile devices for corporate device compliance

Global Relay, a leading provider of integrated digital communications and mobile compliance solutions for highly regulated industries, today announced the launch of its new connector solution for Verizon mobile devices, designed to help organizations in regulated industries manage corporate device compliance.

The new Global Relay Connector for Verizon enables the complete capture and secure archiving of SMS & MMS messages on Verizon mobile corporate devices, including attachments like audio notes, video, and images.

Corporate device compliance is a growing challenge for regulated organizations that need to meet strict supervision and recordkeeping requirements mandated by regulators such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and FINRA. The SEC recently fined 16 investment adviser firms a total of $81 million for using off-channel communications for business-related messages sent via personal text messages.

“As mobile communication continues to change the way businesses collaborate, compliance leaders are under increasing pressure to maintain a comprehensive capture and monitoring program across myriad channels and devices,” said Sahar Kayhani, Chief Product Officer at Global Relay. “The Global Relay Connector for Verizon is a complete, secure solution for firms to meet their mobile compliance requirements without compromising on user experience or device performance.”

A Unified Solution for Corporate Mobility

Global Relay Connector for Verizon captures and archives all SMS and MMS messages through an official Verizon API, to be stored securely in Global Relay Archive so mobile device communications are tamperproof, searchable, and accessible for audits, investigations, or legal holds.

Key features of the solution include:

Compliant capture of Verizon mobile SMS & MMS attachments including images, audio notes, and video
Secure archiving to Global Relay’s end-to-end compliance archiving platform
Compatibility with corporate device management policies

The release of this latest connector expands Global Relay’s mobile device compliance offerings for regulated organizations in North America that deploy a Verizon mobile fleet. Global Relay Connectors offer the unique advantage of structuring and enriching captured data, enhancing its searchability and usability for recordkeeping, enabling faster compliance monitoring, streamlined reporting, efficient eDiscovery, and effective communications surveillance.
