Verify consultant and contract trader devices for regulator-grade evidence.
Contingent workers are 10 to 30 percent of the workforce in many financial institutions. PosturePass verifies their devices at sign-in and writes the audit record, without MDM.
Regulatory framework mapping
Financial institutions typically rely on contingent workers for 10 to 30% of their workforce. Many work from BYOD laptops your IT does not manage. Here's how PosturePass maps to the compliance frameworks that matter.
| Framework | Requirement | What PosturePass Documents |
|---|---|---|
| FINRA | Supervisory controls extend to third-party devices accessing firm systems. | Device posture verification at login with full audit trail. FINRA Compliance Vendor Directory listed. |
| OCC | Documented controls over third-party technology access. | Automated evidence for every third-party device login. |
| FFIEC | Risk-based access controls for all users including contractors. | Real-time posture checks with compliance reporting. |
| SOX | Controls over access to financial systems by third parties. | Device compliance verified before access. Full audit trail. |
Common use cases
Vendor & Consultant Access
Technology vendors and management consultants access banking systems from personal and employer-provided devices. PosturePass verifies posture without MDM.
Contract Trader & Analyst Access
Contract traders access trading platforms from devices their own IT manages, but yours doesn't. PosturePass bridges the compliance gap.
Outsourced Operations
Outsourced teams from Genpact, Infosys, and others access internal systems daily. PosturePass provides continuous device compliance evidence.
M&A Integration
Newly acquired workforce accesses systems from unmanaged devices. PosturePass bridges the gap while integration completes.
Endpoint management and EDR signals for financial services contractors
Full endpoint management and EDR are built for devices your IT owns. Contractor and consultant laptops sit outside that perimeter, so the controls regulators expect, encryption, antivirus, firewall, screen lock, OS patch level, are often unverified.
PosturePass verifies those controls at every sign-in and writes the audit-ready evidence FINRA, OCC, and FFIEC examiners ask for. It does not replace an EDR on managed corporate devices. It closes the contractor-device gap MDM and EDR cannot reach.
