Common challenges in the financial industry
  • Security

    In the financial industry, threats lurk in every corner. Dealing with sensitive data comes with its own security risks. Any leak of confidential data will be harmful to both you and your clients. You must protect all sensitive information, including your clients’ personally identifiable information (PII), from both internal and external threats.

  • Compliance

    The financial industry is highly regulated because it deals with sensitive data. It must comply with both national and international laws. It must provide auditors with compliance reports during audit checks. Often, these tasks can prove to be difficult without an easy reporting process.

  • Business continuity

    In the event of a disruption or a disaster, man-made or natural, some business functions may be affected. A prolonged disruption of critical operations and services may cause financial or reputational loss. Financial institutions must be well-equipped to identify, protect, and react to ensure smooth continuation of business activities.

  • Time

    Every second is an opportunity to be more productive. Complex processes squander away time that could be used for other pursuits. In a setting where every decision is time-critical, anything time-consuming is a wasted effort.

  • Dynamic data

    The financial industry deals with volatile data that can change every minute, and there’s a looming threat of outdated data seeping into the process. Cross-functional teams might duplicate or use obsolete data, which would be disastrous. You may have to work with dynamic data and integrate it efficiently.

Fishing for phishing

Are you tired of seeing spam emails in your mailbox? Relax. All of your incoming emails are now screened for phishing and spoofing. It’s then sorted into either your inbox or the spam folder.

Secure emailing

Dealing with sensitive client data, such as bank details or social security numbers, is daunting. The threat of such data falling into the hands of an unintended recipient is high. Send confidential data via SecurePass emails with confidence! A one-time password (OTP) is required to view it, which is sent to the recipient in a separate email. SecurePass emails cannot be forwarded, copied and pasted, printed, or downloaded. You can even set an expiration date after which they cannot be viewed.

An easy-to-track trail

During your audit, your auditor asks for a report of all the changes made to the Service Level Agreement (SLA) spreadsheet, including who made the changes and when they made them. But extracting this data is like finding a needle in a haystack. The Audit Trail feature allows you to see the last 1,000 edits made to the spreadsheet, including who made them and when. Filter this feature based on names, dates, or even cell ranges.

Your analysts might work with dynamic data that is constantly changing. Working with outdated data leads to grave errors which may cause financial, reputational, and operational losses. Collaborative productivity suites—such as Writer, Sheets, and Show—help you maintain data such as stock prices, sales figures, and product pricing synchronously. When data is changed, it’s reflected immediately to all of the collaborators. It enables cross-functional teams to work remotely.
