IT for financial services
Firms that handle client money and data are a prime target for attackers, and they answer to regulators who expect proof of protection. We provide strong security, tight access controls and clear records, so your firm can protect clients and stand up to scrutiny.
Your clients trust you with their money and their information. We help you earn that trust every day, with security that holds up and records that show your work.
The IT challenges we see
- Phishing and account takeover aimed at client funds
- Strict expectations from regulators, auditors and examiners
- Who has access to what, and proving it
- Client data in email, files and line-of-business software
- Records that must be kept, protected and retrievable
The compliance you face
Financial firms may fall under NYDFS Part 500 (for firms regulated in New York) and the GLBA Safeguards Rule, along with requirements from their own regulators and from cyber insurers. That means risk assessments, access controls, multi-factor sign-in, encryption, monitoring, incident response plans and written policies.

Frequently asked questions
Can you help with NYDFS Part 500?
Yes. We help you put the required technical controls in place, such as multi-factor sign-in, access controls, monitoring and encryption, and keep the records that show it.
Do you replace our compliance officer?
No. Your compliance officer or counsel owns your program. We handle the IT side and make sure the controls and records are in place for them.
We’re a small firm. Do these rules still apply?
Often, yes. Some rules scale down for smaller firms, but the core expectations still apply. We’ll help you understand what applies to you in the free consultation.
