Poor Information Security Measures Lead to $275,000 Fine

In September 2008, the Security & Exchange Commission fined a broker-dealer $275,000 for failure to use adequate security measures to protect customer information. In its settlement with the SEC, the company has agreed to devise and implement a policy and a set of procedures for training its employees and independent contractors with respect to the protection of customer records.
