One of the tools that sets AltaStreet apart from other web design companies, and makes us a favorite of broker/dealers, is our website compliance manager.  The AltaStreet Compliance Manager empowers an advisor to make all the changes they need to their website, and allows the broker-dealer to keep up with compliance.  Here are a few features:

The system is based on 2 decisions, one by the content editor and one by the compliance officer.  When a change is made to the website (update an existing page, add a new article, etc…) the content editor has three choices:

1. Save changes as a draft.  These changes aren’t published to the site and are only available to a content editor.
2. Send changes to compliance for approval.
3. Save changes and publish the page.  This is helpful for fixing typos or formatting issues that don’t require compliance review.

If option #2 is chosen, and changes are sent to compliance, an email is immediately sent to the compliance department.  The compliance officer can then log into the Compliance Manager and view a list of pages awaiting their review.  As the officer reviews a page, they have three options:

1. Approve the changes.  The page will be published to the website immediately.
2. Reject the changes.  The compliance officer will provide feedback as to why this page is rejected, and the feedback will be emailed to the advisor.
3. Approve the changes upon revision.  The compliance officer will provide feedback as to what needs to be changed, and the page will be published immediately on the next update.

We’ve worked hard to make this system as streamlined and simple as possible for everyone involved.  And we are always open to constructive criticism and suggestions to improve.  Give us a call or send us an email at support@altastreet.com.
