Compliance Archiving for Bloomberg

Overview

Nuclei provides Bloomberg customers with the ability to automatically export and archive all communications occurring within Bloomberg, including:  

• Bloomberg Conversation Messages (IB, MSG)
• Bloomberg Conversation Invites
• Bloomberg Conversation Attachments
• Bloomberg Conversation Participant Events

As a first step, your Bloomberg admin must work with Bloomberg to setup a Bloomberg SFTP site, and to configure automatic export of Bloomberg data to the SFTP site. Afterwards, you must provide Nuclei with credentials provided by Bloomberg for communicating with the SFTP site. Once complete, Nuclei will automatically import your organizations content and related activity. Content can be retained with Nuclei, or exported for review and retention in your existing compliance archive.
