What it does
The Fingerprint Platform
Revolutionising communications surveillance and monitoring for regulated firms and compliance service providers.
We’ve worked closely with compliance professionals from across the Financial industry to create a communications supervision platform that is fit for purpose for any business, regardless of size or complexity.
Our platform revolutionises the process of communications surveillance and monitoring—bringing ALL communications data into one platform, risk ranking all activity for immediate review and including all the tools needed to conduct supervision really well. Fingerprint supports your business to supervise communications cost-effectively and at scale.

The technical stuff
How Fingerprint works
STEP ONE – FINGERPRINT CAPTURES
All of your communications channels are automatically and continually ingested (yes – 24/7, 365 days a year) via encrypted and secure API gateways. If you have a network of businesses to oversee, each of your Appointed Representatives or Client’s communications channels are ingested and pulled into the same unified platform. Communications channels that can be captured are:
- Voice (both landline and mobile, via call recording)
- Web Calls (the usual suspects like Teams, Zoom etc.)
- Instant Messaging (think WhatsApp, iMessage etc.)
- Collaboration Platforms Chat (again, the usual suspects like Teams, Slack etc.)
- Trading Platforms Chat (Bloomberg and ICE are the most widely used)
STEP TWO – FINGERPRINT TRANSFORMS
All captured communications data is transformed from abstract, unstructured communications into standardised, indexed, and searchable text. These data transformations can include:
- Encoding voice-to-text (voice calls, web conference, voice messages)
- Decoding attachments (on email, IM, and collaboration tools)
What this means is that all that lovely communications data from across your business or your Clients’ businesses is now standardised and accessible within the Fingerprint platform. This is where things get exciting…
STEP THREE – FINGERPRINT IDENTIFIES
Fingerprint’s powerful Relevance Search Engine continually analyses your communications data for risk – using lexicons (keywords, phrases and other ‘risk’ parameters) set by your own compliance team. Add some Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning into the mix, and Fingerprint will automatically identify suspicious activity within your communications data with accuracy and speed – your compliance team hasn’t had to lift a finger at this point!
When all of that clever tech pinpoints a risky item, an alert is automatically generated. Risk alerts are systematically ‘risk ranked’ utilising Fingerprint’s one-of-a-kind risk ranking algorithm, tagged according to their risk type, and ordered into a prioritised (high to low risk) ‘to do’ list for review and action by your compliance team. This will help them know what items to look at first, and spend their time efficiently.
Super cool, we know.
STEP FOUR – FINGERPRINT ARCHIVES
Your standardised communications data is stored in a dedicated, secure s3 database and can be accessible for review externally (if ever needed) according to your regulator’s requirements, wherever you are based in the world. This supports your firm to remain compliant with data retention and accessibility requirements. If you have a network of businesses to oversee, each Appointed Representative or Client’s communications data is stored in a segregated and secure S3 bucket, meeting all data segregation and retention requirements.
Our platform meets the record retention requirements of the following global financial regulators:
EU – ESMA, including MiFID II and GDPR requirements, UK – FCA, USA – FINRA & SEC, UAE – DFSA, Singapore – MSA, Hong Kong – HKMA and Switzerland – FINMA.
