Channel Bans For Business Communication Deemed Ineffective At Mitigating Off-Channel Communications Risks, New Study Finds

In light of a series of regulatory actions in the United States, the majority (59%) of firms have banned the use of WhatsApp, WeChat, and similar applications according to new research released today by Global Relay, the leading provider of electronic communication compliance and archiving solutions. Despite the majority taking this approach, only 3% strongly believe that channel bans are an effective solution to ensure compliant communications at their organization. Additionally, 13% believe they are somewhat effective, while just over a quarter (28%) are unsure about their efficacy. It’s clear that a better, more effective solution to this problem is required.The survey informs Global Relay’s Industry Insights: Compliant Communication 2023 report, a compilation of responses from compliance officers across the financial services sector as well as other regulated industries about their management of communications channels and devices.When asked what their key concerns were regarding enduring compliance for business communications, 62% cited that they were most worried about getting staff to comply with recordkeeping and supervision rules, while over half (54%) stated that they are having difficulty monitoring all communication channels. Given the rapid pace of innovation, this will only become more difficult as new methods of communication open up.“The fact that organizations have decided to ban these communications channels is a clear sign that they understand the severity of the risk they pose, and this is an attempt to ensure they have a degree of control over the issue,” comments Chip Jones, Executive Vice President at Global Relay. “Added to that, when – and if – the regulator comes knocking, they can clearly show that they have taken action to attempt to mitigate this breach of regulation.”Jones added, “However, it’s clear that there not only needs to be a more effective approach to ensuring firms stay on the right side of the rules when it comes to monitoring communications channels risk, there also needs to be a cultural shift within organizations
