Jefferies Group LLC Selects Behavox to Provide Compliance Supervision

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Behavox, an enterprise People Analytics software company that provides holistic employee supervision solutions, today announced that Jefferies Group LLC (“Jefferies”), the world’s largest independent full-service global investment banking firm headquartered in the U.S. focused on serving clients for over 55 years, has selected Behavox to supply a premier Compliance Supervision platform for its global operations.

“We are excited to join Jefferies as a partner, providing a robust Risk and Compliance ecosystem to support their global firm and diverse client base”

The selection comes after a rigorous and competitive process consisting of multiple vendors and a proof of concept, in which Behavox demonstrated the highest capacity to reduce false positives, detect meaningful content, and provide the support and subject matter expertise that Jefferies requires. As the vendor of choice, Behavox will be replacing Jefferies’ current email supervision tool.

Marty DeMonte, Managing Director and CIO of Jefferies, noted, “Jefferies chose Behavox for their technology, responsiveness, and support model.”

Through machine learning algorithms based on 16 years of enforcement cases against traders and banks worldwide, Behavox’s software allows Senior Management and Risk and Compliance Officers to detect cases of market abuse, insider threats, collusion and reckless behavior in real time. This combination of cutting-edge technology, thought leadership, and industry collaboration, has allowed Behavox to create a Risk and Compliance ecosystem which transforms the way that firms conduct monitoring and supervise risk within their business.

“We look forward to partnering with Behavox – they have established themselves as a strategic technology solution when it comes to data analysis and regulation,” said Lauri Scoran, Jefferies’ Chief Compliance Officer. “The Compliance Supervision Platform Behavox developed further supports our regulatory and business requirements.”

Behavox provides an effective and scalable solution that delivers compliance with finance regulations such as Dodd-Frank, MAR, FCPA, SMR & MiFID II, and meets the requirements of the most exacting regulators (FINRA, CFTC, FCA, etc.).
