Business Continuity Disclosure
Disclosure required by finra Rule 4370
To address interruptions to our normal course of business, Pershing maintains a business continuity plan, which includes geographically dispersed data centers and alternate processing facilities. The plan is reviewed annually and updated as necessary.
The plan outlines the actions Pershing will take in the event of a building, city, or regional incident, including:
- Continuous processing support by personnel located in unaffected facilities
- Relocating technology or operational personnel to alternate regional facilities
- Switching technology data processing to an alternate regional data center
All Pershing operational facilities are equipped for resumption of business and are tested.
