Global banks face a maze of communication regulations,with each region imposing unique rules on call recording,data storage,and encryption.Failing to comply can result in fines(up to 4%of global revenue under GDPR)or even business suspension.This guide breaks down key requirements and solutions.
EU:GDPR and MiFID II
-GDPR:Requires explicit consent for data processing,right to data deletion,and in-EU storage.VoIP systems must encrypt data(TLS 1.3/SRTP)and support audit trails.
-MiFID II:Mandates 7-year retention of all trading calls,with tamper-proof storage.Redstone’s NL-Recording meets this with encrypted storage and ASR tagging for easy retrieval.
U.S.:FINRA,GLBA,and FedRAMP
-FINRA Rule 3170:3+year retention for broker-dealer communications;Redstone’s customizable retention rules align with this.
-GLBA:Regulates customer data privacy;Redstone’s role-based access controls prevent unauthorized access to call logs.
-FedRAMP:Required for public cloud use;Redstone’s cloud deployments are FedRAMP-certified,enabling U.S.banks to use AWS/Azure securely.
APAC:MAS TRM(Singapore)and CPS 234(Australia)
-MAS TRM:5-year retention,AES-256 encryption,and local disaster recovery.Redstone’s geo-redundant deployments in Singapore meet this.
-CPS 234:7-year recordings and PCI DSS v4.0 compliance;Redstone’s encrypted storage and audit interfaces satisfy Australian regulators.
Middle East:SAMA(Saudi Arabia)and CBJ(Jordan)
-SAMA CCS:3-year retention,local voice servers,and regional encryption standards.Redstone’s on-prem deployments in Riyadh meet these rules.
-CBJ Directive#18:3-year recordings,AES-256 encryption,and cross-border notification.Redstone’s flexible deployment adapts to Jordan’s requirements.
Solution:Adaptive Compliance with Redstone
Redstone’s NewLync 2.0 is built for global compliance.Its modular design lets banks configure:
-Region-specific retention periods(3–7 years).
-Local storage(e.g.,Russia’s 115-FZ mandates domestic data).
-Encryption standards(TLS 1.3,AES-256,GOST for Russia).
-Audit-ready logs for regulators.
By using adaptive solutions,global banks turn compliance from a burden into a competitive edge—demonstrating trustworthiness to clients and regulators alike.
