Greenboard alternatives and comparisons: Why compliance teams choose Greenboard
One platform for archiving, employee, marketing and firm compliance, with AI in every workflow and one exam-ready record behind it all.
Why we win
What firms get when they switch
The reasons compliance teams give for moving their program to Greenboard, and what they find once they have.
One platform, not a stack of vendors
Archiving, employee compliance, marketing review, third-party diligence, filings and the compliance calendar run on one platform, so there is one login, one workflow and one bill.
AI in every workflow
GreenboardGo answers routine policy questions, triages what is urgent and drafts tasks, and Go Agents do the repetitive work. Every judgment call still goes to a person.
Exam-ready by default
Every message, approval, attestation and AI action lands on one WORM-based record designed to meet SEC 17a-4, so an exam request becomes a search, not a fire drill.
Built for the people who use it
Advisors, traders and employees get guided task flows and answers in Slack and Teams, not just the CCO. A culture of compliance starts with a tool people actually use.
Switching without a project
History comes across from your previous archive, broker-dealers get the third-party undertaking for their FINRA filing, and AI-assisted onboarding sets up workflows from your own policies.
Security you can check
Greenboard is SOC 2 Type II compliant, with single sign-on, granular permissions and information barriers. Our controls and full subprocessor list are published at trust.greenboard.com.
