Brolly capturing a social media conversation as a compliant record
Built for your obligations

Whatever regulates you, your social media is in scope.

Records laws did not stop at email. Brolly keeps you ready for the rules that govern your organization's digital communications.

Government

FOIA & state public records laws

All 50 states recognize social media created in the course of official business as a public record. Response windows run as short as 3 business days — and "we don't have it" is not an answer.

State-by-state guidance
Financial services

FINRA & SEC recordkeeping

FINRA Notices 10-06 and 11-39 and SEC Rule 17a-4 treat business communications on social media as records to be retained and produced — advisor accounts included.

Brolly for financial services
Education & health

FERPA, HIPAA & FTC guidance

School districts answer to state sunshine laws and FERPA. Health providers navigate FDA and FTC rules on public comments. Both need the record — and proof of what was removed and why.

How it works

Capture. Find. Verify. Produce.

One workflow from the moment something is posted to the moment you hand over a complete, defensible response.

1

Capture automatically

Brolly connects to your accounts through official APIs and archives every interaction in real time — no browser extensions, no manual saves, no gaps.

2

Find the conversation

Search every account, platform and date range at once. Filter by keyword, author, edits or deletions. The whole thread, in context.

3

Verify every version

Each record carries its metadata, full edit history and a digital checksum — proof it has not been altered since capture.

4

Produce the response

Export complete packages as PDF, CSV, HTML or JSON in minutes — response-ready for requests, audits and discovery.

The platform

Your archive shouldn't just sit there.

Three products on one platform — the record, what it tells you, and the protection wrapped around it.

Archive

The defensible record

Real-time capture of posts, comments, edits, deletions and media — with metadata, revision history and digital signatures. Compliant, legally admissible historical records.

Insights

What the record tells you

Your archive is a goldmine of facts. Engagement, sentiment and keyword analytics across every channel — and risk signals like spikes in edits, deletes and hides.

Protect

Action, in real time

AI moderation that hides hateful, brand-damaging comments and scam spam in seconds — while the archive quietly keeps a record of exactly what was hidden, and why.

Straight answers

Asked before every rollout — answered.

Is social media really a public record?
In many cases, yes. Content created or received in the course of official business can qualify as a record under federal law and the public records laws of all 50 states — whether it lives in an email, a document or a social media thread. That includes comments from the public, edits and content that was later deleted, which is why capture has to happen in real time.
What exactly does Brolly capture?
Posts, comments and replies, reactions, edits, deletions, shared images and video, and direct messages — each with its metadata, timestamps and a digital checksum that preserves chain of custody. Brolly connects to Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, YouTube, LinkedIn and TikTok through official APIs.
We already take screenshots. Why is that not enough?
Screenshots miss metadata, timestamps, edit history and deletions — and they cannot prove they have not been altered. A defensible record carries its own evidence. Brolly records include digital checksums and audit logs that stand up to legal scrutiny.
How fast can we respond to a records request?
In minutes. Run a saved search across every connected account, review the full conversation including edits and deletions, and export a complete package as PDF, CSV, HTML or JSON. The scramble disappears because the record was ready before the request arrived.
How long does setup take?
Under an hour. Connect your accounts, confirm retention settings, and capture begins immediately. Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial — no credit card, all features.
Who in our organization uses Brolly?
Records officers and clerks run search and export. Communications teams use capture, monitoring and moderation day to day. Counsel and compliance pull audit logs when a request, audit or dispute lands.

The request will come. Be the team with the answer.

Every day your organization communicates on social media, you're creating records. Are you confident you could produce them tomorrow?
