IT for Financial Services
Financial services firms face the strictest regulatory requirements and the highest cybersecurity risks of any industry. SEC Rule 206(4)-9, FINRA cybersecurity expectations, SOC 2 demands from institutional clients, and attackers who specifically target firms handling high-value financial data. LayerLogix provides managed IT and cybersecurity built for the unique compliance, security, and operational demands of Houston's financial services sector — from boutique RIAs and family offices to growing fintech companies and multi-office wealth management firms.
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.
