Regulatory Compliance, Review & Supervision
Review Archived Content — Not Just Store It
Archiving alone is not enough. FINRA Rule 3110 requires a written supervisory system — designated reviewers, review frequency, and documented findings — for all retail communications, including your website. The SEC Marketing Rule (206(4)-1) requires investment advisers to actively review published online content. Since December 2021, more than 100 firms have been charged and over $2 billion in penalties imposed for recordkeeping and supervision failures.
Aleph Archives captures your website on a scheduled basis and stores every page as an ISO 28500 WARC file with SHA-512 and RIPEMD-160 hash signatures. Built-in review workflows let compliance teams browse archives, flag violations, escalate findings, and document resolutions. Every action is logged with timestamps and reviewer identity, creating the audit trail regulators expect.
Website Change Monitoring
Detect Every Change — Before It Becomes a Problem
Websites change constantly — content updates, pricing adjustments, disclaimer edits, third-party link modifications. Without systematic monitoring, these changes go unnoticed until a regulator or legal opponent raises a question. FINRA Rule 2210 classifies every firm website page as a “retail communication” that must remain fair, balanced, and not misleading at all times.
Aleph Archives captures your web properties at configurable intervals and automatically detects content changes between captures. Teams receive change summaries and can perform side-by-side visual and textual comparisons of any two versions. Whether a rate was updated, a disclaimer removed, or a third-party link changed destination — you will know exactly what changed, when, and by whom.
Litigation Readiness
Web Evidence That Stands Up in Court
By the time a dispute reaches litigation, the relevant web pages have often changed or disappeared entirely. Without a verifiable archive, you have no evidence of what was published.
Aleph Archives creates court-admissible records from day one. Every capture is signed with dual cryptographic hashes, stored on WORM-compliant infrastructure, and accompanied by a complete chain-of-custody audit trail. Our team has provided attestation letters and expert testimony in dozens of legal proceedings.
FOIA & Public Records
Make Public Information Permanently Accessible
Government agencies publish information that citizens have a legal right to access — even after it is updated or removed. The US Federal Records Act, the UK FOIA 2000, and EU Regulation 1049/2001 all require public bodies to preserve and produce their records on request, including web content. Yet websites are routinely redesigned, restructured, and taken offline — and the previous version vanishes.
Aleph Archives preserves web content in its native format — fully interactive, browsable, and searchable — in ISO 28500-compliant WARC files. Archives are portable, compatible with national digital preservation systems, and exportable in bulk. When a FOIA request arrives, your team can search the entire archive history and produce the relevant pages in seconds.
M&A Due Diligence
Capture the Target’s Digital Footprint Before It Disappears
During mergers and acquisitions, the target company’s website contains valuable information — product claims, pricing, terms of service, regulatory disclosures. After the deal closes, the site is often taken down or rebranded.
Aleph Archives lets you capture the target’s entire web presence before, during, and after a transaction — a permanent, verifiable record useful for due diligence, warranty claims, and post-acquisition integration.
Ready to Archive?
Every use case starts with the same foundation — legally defensible, automated web archiving. Whether you need to satisfy regulators, prepare for litigation, or preserve your digital history, Aleph Archives delivers tamper-evident, court-admissible records from day one.
