How TZEC offers an integrated approach to eComms and trade surveillance

TZEC is eflow’s multi-channel eComms surveillance system, designed to enable financial institutions to gain a comprehensive view of various communication channels, identify potentially suspicious behaviour, and make informed, data-led regulatory decisions.

Globally, financial regulators are increasingly focusing on how compliance teams manage the risk of communications across electronic platforms. Digital messages can often carry the first signs of potential market abuse, and regulators want to ensure that firms are monitoring these interactions and linking them to abusive trading.

eflow’s TZEC module captures the full spectrum of electronic interactions taking place across your firm. It ingests and normalises data from various sources, employing advanced algorithms to detect anomalies and patterns that are indicative of suspicious behaviour, before linking them to relevant trade activity for further analysis.

TZEC uses a unique Global Lexicon Service developed by eflow. This analyses language and vocabulary using global data and behavioural trends to identify potential signs of market abuse. This is then combined with a firm’s own Client Lexicon Service, which can be tailored to include company or industry-specific words, phrases and terms.

When combined with TZEC’s automated workflows, sophisticated machine-learning technology, and robust linkage capabilities, the system provides financial institutions with a depth and breadth of regulatory analysis that is simply unmatched.

The key benefits of TZEC

Thanks to its ability to undertake deep-dive analysis of all types of communication channels in a matter of seconds, TZEC enables firms to monitor, analyse and audit vast quantities of data while streamlining surveillance operations and mitigating against the risk of non-compliance. And because TZEC has been engineered to normalise any communications channel, firms have the peace of mind that any new channels can be onboarded effortlessly to future-proof their eComms surveillance strategy.

TZEC can digitally link suspicious communications to high-risk trade activity to provide additional context that can be used for further investigation. By directly associating communication data with trade activity, compliance teams can conduct more thorough investigations and make informed decisions based on a granular timeline of interactions that would have previously been hugely time-consuming to define accurately.

The system also utilises cutting-edge machine learning to evolve and enhance its ability to detect suspicious activity. For example, TZEC’s ‘sentiment analysis’ capabilities are able to determine whether a message contains threatening or coercive terminology, while the Global Lexicon Service monitors linguistic and behavioural trends to contextualise the potential risk associated with them.
