Global Relay Partner & Reseller — SEC, FINRA & GDPR Compliant Archiving
A compliance violation doesn't announce itself. Email threads disappear, Slack messages go unarchived, and Bloomberg chats fall outside your retention policy — until a regulator asks for them. Iron Cove has been a Global Relay partner since 2010. We handle procurement, configuration, and ongoing support so your archiving is airtight before you need it.
Global Relay is a 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ Leader for digital communications governance. Over 20,000 customers in 90 countries — including 22 of the top 25 global banks — rely on it to archive email, instant messaging, social media, voice, and trade data. Iron Cove is a full-service reseller: we handle licensing, setup, directory integrations, and ongoing support, so you can focus on your business instead of your archiving configuration.
The 3-2-1 Backup Rule
It applies to archiving too — not just backup.
Keep 3 copies of your data
Your original plus two backups. If one fails, you still have two.
Use 2 different storage types
Different storage types fail differently — don’t rely on just one.
Keep 1 copy offsite
Global Relay’s WORM-compliant cloud archive is built to be that off-site, tamper-proof copy.

What Regulatory Compliance does Global Relay Cover?
Global Relay is purpose-built for regulated industries. The platform doesn't just store your data — it makes it producible, searchable, and defensible when a regulator or opposing counsel comes asking.
SEC Rule 17a-4 & FINRA
WORM-compliant storage ensures records cannot be altered or deleted. Global Relay prepares and files SEC Undertakings and FINRA notifications on your behalf as 3rd Party Downloader.
GDPR & MiFID II
Data residency controls, encryption at rest and in transit, and retention policies aligned to European regulatory requirements for financial services and data protection.
HIPAA & FOIA
Healthcare and government organizations get audit-ready archiving with access controls, chain-of-custody reporting, and rapid FOIA response capabilities.
AI-Powered Supervision
Global Relay Surveillance filters routine noise and surfaces real risks — market abuse, misconduct, policy violations. Prioritize investigations that matter.
