Broker-dealers can stop burning records to CD, but they don’t have to, says SEC The world's financial regulators seem to have only become aware of the possibilities of OTT apps like WhatsApp and Signal over the past year or so, and now they have learned about cloud storage too. While jotting down the final rule amendments to its Electronic Recordkeeping Requirements note this week, America's Securities …

Cloud storage isn't exactly new. We probably have enough experimental data to estimate how reliable it is compared to traditional backup strategies.

"The records were stored on a server with our cloud provider but due to an automatic payment failure coupled with no attempts by the cloud provider to contact us, those records no longer exist."
Gonna have to be regulations to prevent this, like failure to produce records means someone in the C suite is doing hard time, to prevent this from being the next most-used defense in future investigations.
