In Brief: S&P Broadens Access to Securities Data

Standard & Poor's has begun offering a new Web product called Access that provides all Cusip numbers, the nine-character industry standard for securities identification. It also is launching ISIDPlus, a cross-referenced data base of the International Securities Identification Directory.

From a Web browser, users can get access to data on more than seven million securities. Current S&P services -- Cusip Query, Cusip Connect, and Cusip AGY for mortgage pools -- will be incorporated into Access.
