SEC Marketing Rule · 206(4)-1

The Marketing Rule reviewer — not the full-suite compliance platform.

You're evaluating one of the major RIA compliance suites — or an enterprise AI compliance platform — or shopping around. Safe to Publish does one thing: flag every clause an SEC examiner might cite under Rule 206(4)-1, cited to the specific provision. Results in about 30 seconds, $49–299/month — runs upstream of whatever approval workflow you already use.

Not a full compliance suite. Not a workflow tool. The pre-publication review your suite doesn't actually do.

Compliance suites vs. focused Marketing Rule review

Most "compliance software" doesn't read your draft.

The major RIA compliance suites are workflow + archive tools — they route the marketing review to a human and record the approval. They don't flag violations in the content itself. Enterprise AI compliance platforms do content analysis, but for a different market segment and scope.

Full RIA compliance suite

Workflow + archive. Marketing Rule review is a checklist.

  • No AI content analysis.Your draft routes to a human reviewer who clicks "approve" — the platform records the approval but doesn't identify which clauses might trip Rule 206(4)-1.
  • Marketing review is one module of many.Code of ethics, trade surveillance, Form ADV updates, employee certifications. You're paying for the suite even if you only need the marketing piece.
  • Sales-gated onboarding. Demos, MSAs, weeks-long ramps — no self-serve option. Pricing scales with seat count and modules.
  • Enterprise AI compliance platforms have content analysis — closer to us — but are demo-gated, target firms with a dedicated compliance department, and are priced for that buyer. Not built for solo or small-team RIAs.
Safe to Publish

One job, done well: cited Marketing Rule flags in seconds.

  • AI flags every clause against the full corpus — Rule 206(4)-1, 41 IM staff FAQs, 3 SEC risk alerts. Each flag cites the section, FAQ, or alert it came from.
  • $49–299/month, self-serve. No demo, no MSA, no implementation call. Once you're in: paste a draft, get the cited findings list in about 30 seconds.
  • Pairs with your existing suite.Run Safe to Publish before you route to your suite's approval queue. The audit log we generate serves as the evidence layer your archival tool was missing.
  • Built for SEC-registered RIAs only. Not BD, not banking, not insurance — that focus is why our Marketing Rule corpus and prompts are tighter than a general marketing-compliance tool.
Honest scope

When a full suite is the right answer instead.

Three cases where Safe to Publish on its own isn't enough. We'll say so out loud.

Code of ethics + personal trading

If you need employee trade pre-clearance, code-of-ethics attestations, gift logs, and political-contribution tracking, that's what the major RIA compliance suites do well. Keep using yours for that; Safe to Publish runs upstream of it, not instead of it.

Form ADV + recordkeeping

Form ADV updates, Rule 204-2 books-and-records workflow, employee Form U4/U5 tracking — all suite features. Incumbent RIA compliance suites are strong on approval-routing-and-archive across many filing types. We focus only on pre-publication content review.

Multi-line-of-business marketing

If you're a dual-registrant (RIA + BD), an insurance carrier, or a bank marketing team, enterprise AI compliance platforms cover more regulators than us with a broader compliance-trained model. Safe to Publish is RIA-and-Marketing-Rule-only by design.

What every flag cites

Grounded in the rule text — not a model's recollection of it.
