What We Offer

Comprehensive solutions tailored for Houston-area businesses

SEC & FINRA Compliance IT

Implement the technical controls required by SEC Rule 206(4)-9, FINRA cybersecurity requirements, and Regulation S-P. Email archiving, communication monitoring, data retention policies, and access controls that satisfy regulatory examinations.

Secure Client Data Management

Financial client data — portfolio details, Social Security numbers, bank accounts, and transaction histories — is the highest-value target for cybercriminals. We implement encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access controls, DLP policies, and audit trails for every data touchpoint.

Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery

SEC and FINRA require documented business continuity plans. We design and test DR infrastructure that meets regulatory standards — immutable backups, geographic redundancy, tested failover procedures, and documented RTOs that satisfy your compliance examiner.

Secure Communication Platforms

Financial services firms need encrypted, archived communication channels that satisfy SEC recordkeeping requirements. We implement compliant email archiving, encrypted messaging, and secure client communication portals with full audit trails.

SOC 2 Compliance for Fintech

Fintech companies and financial service providers increasingly need SOC 2 Type II certification to win institutional clients and partnerships. We implement all five Trust Service Criteria controls and prepare your evidence package for assessment.

Zero Trust & Identity Security

Financial services environments require the strictest access controls. We implement zero trust architecture — verify every user, every device, every session. Conditional access, privileged access management (PAM), FIDO2 MFA, and just-in-time admin access.

Pass Regulatory Examinations

When SEC or FINRA examiners review your cybersecurity controls, you need documented policies, technical controls, and evidence of ongoing compliance. Our documentation and control implementation is designed for examination readiness.

Protect High-Value Client Data

Financial services firms are the #1 target for cybercriminals — 300x more likely to be attacked than other sectors. Our security stack is calibrated for the specific threats targeting financial data: BEC, credential theft, insider threats, and ransomware.

Client Confidence & Competitive Edge

High-net-worth clients and institutional investors evaluate your cybersecurity posture before entrusting you with their assets. Demonstrable security maturity differentiates you from competitors who can't prove their controls work.

Whether you're a 5-person RIA or a 200-person wealth management firm, our infrastructure scales with you. Add advisors, open new offices, and onboard clients without rebuilding your IT foundation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What financial services firms do you support?
We serve registered investment advisors (RIAs), wealth management firms, financial advisory practices, broker-dealers, insurance agencies, fintech startups, private equity and venture capital firms, family offices, and mortgage companies across Greater Houston. Each has specific regulatory and operational IT requirements that we address with tailored solutions.
What SEC cybersecurity requirements apply to us?
SEC Rule 206(4)-9 (adopted 2023) requires registered investment advisors to have written cybersecurity policies, annual risk assessments, documented incident response plans, and reporting obligations for significant cybersecurity incidents. We implement all required controls and maintain the documentation your compliance team needs.
Do you handle email archiving for compliance?
Yes — SEC Rule 17a-4 and FINRA Rules 3110/4511 require specific email retention and supervision capabilities. We deploy compliant email archiving solutions that capture, index, and retain all business communications with immutable storage and e-discovery search capabilities.
How do you protect against wire fraud?
Wire fraud targeting financial services firms is a $2.9B annual problem. We implement multi-factor verification for wire transfer requests, email authentication (DMARC/DKIM/SPF) to prevent impersonation, dark web monitoring for credential exposure, and employee training focused on BEC recognition. Dual-authorization procedures are built into your workflow.
Can you help with client-facing cybersecurity documentation?
Yes — many institutional clients and RIA custodians require cybersecurity questionnaires, SOC 2 reports, or vendor security assessments before establishing relationships. We help you complete these assessments accurately and provide the technical documentation that demonstrates your security controls.
