Secure Collaboration Zones

Banking transactions often involve non-public, material information to be provided before the transaction can proceed. For example, issuance of fixed-income securities and credit facilities require detailed business models to discern risk. SEC Rule 17a-4 requires the information be protected from other areas of the bank and outside disclosure. As a transaction is completed, information should be disposed of according to the contract or the institution’s information retention policies.

Liquid Machines Enterprise Rights Management solutions enable financial institutions to create secure collaboration zones and deal rooms. Using Liquid Machines, financial institutions can create virtual walls around information involved in a business transaction, protecting it no matter where it goes as part of the process. Participants—such as investment bankers, company management, and legal counsel—may be granted or denied access dynamically as appropriate. Moreover, everything a participant does with the information—such as reading, writing, and printing—is logged for compliance forensics.
