Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT)

Making compliance simpler, faster, cheaper: Corvil simplifies data collection and timestamping for events within an order's lifecycle that must be reported to the Consolidated Audit Trail.

Nanosecond-precision timestamps for current and future regulatory tightening

NIST-traceable clock synchronization with continuous integrity monitoring

Non-intrusive deployment, no trading system changes required

Automated compliance reports and real-time synchronization alerts

What is the Consolidated Audit Trail?

The SEC mandated greater precision for capturing time and events within trading networks through Rule 613 and the CAT NMS Plan. Corvil simplifies compliance by deploying non-intrusively as an overlay on existing infrastructure, seeing all trading activity without requiring system configuration changes. This removes the need for trading venues and participants to overhaul internal IT systems while providing nanosecond-precision timestamps with NIST traceability.

Outcomes

Measurable compliance improvements with reduced cost and complexity.

Lower Regulatory Risk

Lower regulatory tail-risk to the business from non-compliance with SEC timing requirements.

Reduced Complexity

Minimize trading systems changes to capture order data with precision timestamps: deploy as a passive overlay.

Lower Costs

Reduce implementation complexity and costs: one firm accelerated their compliance timeline by three months.

Future-Proofed

Nanosecond precision addresses current requirements and future-proofs against more stringent regulatory rules.

Frequently asked questions
