Client Disclosure

Securian Financial Services, Inc.

Disclosure required by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Rule 4370 

 

To address interruptions to our normal course of business, Securian Financial Services, Inc., registered broker-dealer affiliated with Minnesota Life, maintains a business continuity plan that includes a geographically dispersed data center and processing facility. The plan is reviewed annually and updated as necessary. 

The plan outlines the actions to be taken by Securian in the event of a building, city or regional incident causing a significant business disruption. The actions to be taken include: 

  • Relocating key business, technical and processing associates to an alternate location that is maintained and business-ready on a 24/7 basis
  • Creating a redundant environment at the recovery site that routinely tests business applications
  • Data center recovery and storage of electronic backup and paper documents to meet our recovery needs
