Industry intelligence
What we see in financial services websites
These are the patterns our Diagnostic Framework consistently surfaces in financial services sites — and the signals your visitors and regulators expect.
Common gaps for Financial Services
- SEC Marketing Rule violations — testimonials and endorsements published without required disclosures and prominent conflict-of-interest disclaimers
- FINRA Rule 2210 non-compliance in communications with the public — missing supervisory review documentation and required fair-balance language
- Unarchived website content that fails SEC and FINRA books-and-records requirements for all public-facing communications
- Performance claims displayed without net-of-fees and gross-of-fees disclosure, time periods, and benchmark comparisons
- Client login portals using single-factor authentication without MFA, falling below SEC information security expectations
What good looks like
A compliant financial services website presents performance data with proper net/gross disclosure and time-period context, archives every version of every page for regulatory examination, and routes all testimonial content through a supervisory review workflow before publication. The design projects institutional credibility while making scheduling and contact frictionless for prospects.
