Most Compliance Software was built for
Email.
We built Comma for what came next.
Compliance Management Software for SEC/FINRA Messaging Across 35+ Channels.
Capture business communications from iMessage, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Gmail, Bloomberg Chat, and more - without touching personal content or changing habits. SEC/FINRA compliant.
Off-channel Communication
On the Record
Every channel. Not just email.
WhatsApp, Signal, iMessage, and 35+ more. Captured off-device - no app modifications, no employee opt-in required.
Nothing disappears. Everything is searchable.
Search across every channel by contact, keyword, or platform. Business messages separated from personal.
Pass your next exam without the scramble.
Flag violations, document resolutions, and export an exam package in one click.
We open-source our WhatsApp and Signal capture code. No other compliance vendor does.
After the TeleMessage breach, 'trust our architecture' isn't enough. Comma's WhatsApp and Signal capture connectors are on GitHub — Apache and MIT licensed. Your security team can audit every line before you deploy.
No NDA. No request required. Just the code.
$2 billion in off-channel fines since 2021.
The SEC and FINRA have fined firms for unarchived communications on iMessage, WhatsApp, and LinkedIn. These penalties are becoming routine across firms of all sizes — and they're not just fines. They're your firm's reputation.
Why it can't wait
The risk is no longer hypothetical.
- 01
Regulators are no longer waiting for violations to surface. The SEC is actively auditing firms for off-channel communications that aren't archived. If your firm isn't capturing modern messaging channels, you're already at risk.
- 02
Despite policies banning iMessage and WhatsApp, employees use them to meet client expectations — creating blind spots in your risk management strategy. Banning apps was never a compliance strategy.
- 03
Clunky workarounds and forced SMS make it harder for your team to communicate, and easier to miss key conversations. Firms need a solution that works with the tools clients and employees already use.
See the difference for yourself.
Comma closes the gap on off-channel communications across 35+ platforms.

Testimonials

Erica M.
VP Legal & Compliance, Hudson Asset Management
"They got back to me so quickly on additional features we requested. Happy to recommend them."
Mark R.
Director of Compliance, 581 Group
"We asked to see under the covers before signing. They walked us through the architecture point by point — capture methodology, storage, the open-source connectors. Halfway through I realized we weren't talking to a vendor, we were talking to engineers who actually understood the compliance problem."
