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.

Global Relay FAQ
Common questions from compliance officers, IT directors, and legal teams evaluating Global Relay archiving through Iron Cove Solutions.
What regulatory compliance requirements does Global Relay meet?
What does SEC Rule 17a-4 require for storing electronic records?
SEC Rule 17a-4 requires broker-dealers to store electronic records in a WORM (Write Once, Read Many) immutable format, or use an approved audit-trail alternative. Global Relay Archive is designed to satisfy this requirement, retaining every message in a non-erasable, non-rewritable repository.
Iron Cove sells and implements this technology — we do not determine whether your overall compliance program satisfies your legal obligations. Your compliance officer or legal counsel should confirm which retention, supervision, and recordkeeping requirements apply to your organization.
Can I reduce my number of users and receive a refund?
How does the annual agreement with monthly billing work?
Your user count is locked for 12 months. If you increase users, that new total becomes your billing baseline — you cannot revert to a lower count until renewal. Monthly payments are available on annual terms. There are windows you must fall in to reduce cost.
