FAQ

Platform Functionality

How does information sharing work?

Member firms can submit intelligence via the FIFC portal. A dedicated team of FIFC analysts analyzes the information internally and, where appropriate, develops intelligence products and potential threat notifications for dissemination to participating firms. FINRA will not share raw information or submitter attributes.

Are firms able to search for information proactively?

Yes, the portal includes search capabilities allowing firms to proactively search for relevant published intelligence by topic and type.

Is there a notification system?

Yes, the portal includes a notification system. Future enhancements are planned to allow firms to:

  • subscribe to specific topics of interest;
  • receive alerts about specific topics and targeted notifications; and
  • opt in or out of different types of notifications.

Submission Process

How detailed do submissions need to be?

The FIFC has a streamlined submission process. While there are no requirements regarding the specificity or level of detail provided, more comprehensive information enables the FIFC team to develop more effective materials and guidance for the industry to help mitigate cybersecurity and fraud threats.

Regulatory Considerations

How does the FIFC relate to other regulatory obligations?

The FIFC is a voluntary information sharing hub. Information member firms share through the FIFC portal does not relieve firms of any existing obligations under federal securities laws, regulations or FINRA rules, including regulatory filing or reporting obligations. Member firms with questions about filing or reporting requirements should contact their Risk Monitoring team.

Privacy and Security

How is confidentiality maintained?

Information member firms share via the FIFC portal will not be made public. FIFC-published analyses and alerts will not be attributable to specific member firms. The FIFC is committed to maintaining confidentiality.

Is there an option for anonymous submissions?

Based on feedback, the FIFC is considering implementing an anonymous submission option to build trust and encourage sharing. At present, any information included in FIFC intelligence products or alerts will be anonymized and not attributable to individual firm’s submissions.

Planned Enhancements

What enhancements are being considered based on feedback?

The FIFC is considering several enhancements and will continue collaborating with member firms to enhance the portal. Some of the suggested enhancements include:

  • API integration with workflow tools; and
  • increased alert and notification customization capabilities.
