Two Financial Services Firms Turn to Backup My Info! and Global Relay

BUMI Backup My Info!
announced the addition of DH Frederick Securities, Inc. and The Family Wealth
Consulting Group (FWCG) to its roster of financial services customers.

In addition to online data backup and recovery provided by BUMI, these two
California-based financial services firms are also utilizing Global Relay for email archiving –
offering an end-to-end solution to safeguard and ensure compliance of business-critical
information.

Like many financial services organizations, DH Frederick
Securities, Inc. and FWCG use Global Relay services in order to comply with
FINRA regulations for the record keeping and supervision of electronic
messaging. FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority), which regulates
all firms selling securities in the United States, requires its broker-dealers
to archive all transactions and inbound, internal and outbound correspondence
relating to their business.

"Compliance is
extremely important, and meeting FINRA requirements does not mean financial
services firms’ data is protected from disaster or other unforeseen events that
can cause systemic failure," said Jennifer Walzer, CEO of BUMI. "What Global Relay does for email communications,
BUMI does for an organization’s data, providing a means to backup and restore
all types of business-critical information, applications and systems. Financial
services firms such as DH Frederick Securities and The Family Wealth Consulting
Group are recognizing that while regulatory compliance is compulsory, data
protection is essential."

DH Frederick Securities is a licensed broker-dealer that specializes in
assisting clients with capital and consulting needs. It is leveraging BUMI to
remotely backup all of its operational systems and applications, such as
Microsoft Office files. The company also relies on Global Relay to archive all
of its email correspondence, keeping them compliant with government
regulations.

"If you had a
virus cause a crash or, in our case, being in California, an earthquake, and
all your hardware was destroyed, what would you do?" said Dolliver
Frederick, Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of DH Frederick
Securities. "For us, in just two
phone calls – one to Global Relay and the second to BUMI – we would have all
our email, documents, correspondence and database information, and we would be
back up and running. That’s also extraordinarily important from a FINRA and SEC
compliance standpoint."

FWCG is a Silicon Valley-based wealth planning firm that
manages nearly $100 million in assets. Prior to selecting BUMI, FWCG managed
backups internally and needed an off-site solution to safeguard its data.
Additionally, the firm utilizes Global Relay for email archiving.

"In the event of an outage, we wanted the
capability to recover from a major data loss," said Hilary Martin,
Financial Planner at FWCG. "With
BUMI and Global Relay in place, I feel completely covered, both from a
FINRA-compliance and data backup and recovery perspective."
