SIX iD provides comprehensive access to the entire SIX financial data universe, including award-winning corporate actions data and high-quality market and reference data. This extensive stream of information is sourced from over 1,800 global data providers and is already structured, interlinked, and enriched for ease of use. Users can quickly and easily conduct research, analysis, and monitoring of financial instruments across all asset classes worldwide, thanks to the platform's rich and diverse data offerings.

SIX iD differs from apiD, VDF, and MDF primarily in its function and delivery method. While apiD, VDF, and MDF are focused on delivering data in specific formats and for specific uses (programmatic access, reference data feeds, and real-time market data feeds, respectively), SIX iD serves as a centralized, user-friendly display application that integrates and presents this data in a cohesive manner. This integration ensures that users can trust the consistency and reliability of the data they are working with, regardless of the delivery method.

SIX iD offers an intuitive user interface packed with features designed to streamline information processing and support better-informed decision-making. Users can customize their experience by creating their own security lists, portfolios, screens, and workspaces, or by accessing predefined ones that are continuously updated by SIX. The platform includes powerful search and filter functions, along with shortcuts for instantly loading quotes, news, charts, or lists. Additionally, the FinXL function enables real-time data export, and specific features tailored to business needs are available in prepackaged offerings like the Corporate Action Calendar.

Yes, users can either choose one of our pre-made data package offerings or decide to customize their data subscriptions and access specific data sets through SIX iD. They can choose from various subscription plans and add-on services tailored to their specific needs, ensuring flexibility and cost efficiency in data access.

SIX performs regular penetration testing by internal team or independent external companies. Within the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), security is reviewed on various layers, for classic “waterfall” projects as well as for agile development. Besides the constant documentation of security measures, SIX executes security assessments for projects and (repeatedly) during life cycles of applications and infrastructure. Based on risk-oriented decisions, we track mitigation measures and verify their effectiveness. SIX keeps an eye on any deviation from internal or external regulations or policies, with an integrated exception management.

SIX iD supports both real-time data streaming and delayed data delivery, catering to different user needs. Real-time data streaming is essential for users who require up-to-the-second information for activities such as trading or intraday market analysis. This ensures that they have the latest data to make informed decisions promptly. On the other hand, delayed data delivery is available for users who do not require immediate updates and prefer to access data at a lower cost. This flexibility allows SIX iD to serve a wide range of financial professionals, providing them with the appropriate data delivery method based on their specific requirements and use cases.
