How do Sterling Identity and FINRA ensure that personal information is protected during and after processing?

Our equipment is FINRA certified and protects electronic transmissions using digital certificates and S/MIME encryption.

FINRA stores all records in a secure database while they await FBI disposition. Once the FBI responds, FINRA maintains the data for 30 days, after which the data is no longer available.

All fingerprint records and the FBI background report are encrypted during transmission, processing and storage.
