Our Value
Many firms will initially see adaption of holistic surveillance to be an arduous, expensive and maybe even a somewhat impossible task. They lack the proper budget and talent resources to resource such prospects. The top management of many firms refuse to continually invest in surveillance technology that would enable them to evolve and adapt with the changing landscape of the market and reduce false positives.
Firms need a long-term strategy and direction that will enable them to own their surveillance technologies and prepare for future security. Advancing technologies such as Big Data and Analytics, Machine Learning and Voice Recognition go a long way in constituting surveillance strategies and functions. Surveillance in financial markets firms currently focuses on trading data (KRIs) and trader behaviour (analytics) and basic ‘lexicon driven’ electronic communication surveillance.
GreySpark works with clients to launch or upgrade their surveillance functions by enabling informed decision making about how to build surveillance platforms or how to identify the correct vendor for the job. We manage the data sourcing, integration, documentation of required analytics, IT engagement, quality assurance and embedment of the new processes and technology.
