Financial Services IT Support in Lexington, KY

IT support and security for financial firms and broker-dealers, with compliance-aware guidance for FINRA and SEC expectations.

What makes this industry different

Financial firms hold client money and client data, and they answer to FINRA and SEC expectations about how both are protected. Email is the riskiest system in the office, because a single convincing message can redirect a wire transfer.

Firms also need records they can produce on request, which means IT decisions have to hold up to outside review, not just work day to day.

Where financial firms get hurt

  • Wire fraud by emailA spoofed or compromised mailbox can redirect client money.
  • Accounts without MFAOne stolen password can expose client data across the firm.
  • No documentation on handExams and client due diligence ask for proof of your controls.
  • Access that driftedStaff collect permissions over the years and nobody trims them back.
