The IT Problems Financial Services Companies Face
If any of these sound familiar, you need a technology partner who understands your industry.
Examination Anxiety
FINRA examiners can request your IT documentation, cybersecurity policies, and books and records retention logs with 30 days notice. If your IT vendor can’t produce this documentation, the finding goes on YOUR record — not theirs.
Client Data Exposure Risk
One data breach can quickly and easily expose client SSNs, account numbers, and financial records. The SEC cybersecurity rules (2023) require incident disclosure within 4 business days. Your reputation in a trust-based industry is destroyed overnight.
Vendor Lock-in with Bad MSPs
Your current IT company doesn’t understand financial compliance. They installed antivirus and called it ‘cybersecurity.’ They have no documentation for FINRA. And switching vendors means explaining your entire compliance stack from scratch.
Shadow IT & Advisor Devices
Advisors use personal phones, iPads, and home networks to access client data. Compliance officers can’t track what’s happening on unmanaged devices. Every personal device can quickly and easily become a potential breach vector and a FINRA finding.

Financial Compliance: FINRA + SEC + PCI DSS + SOC 2
Financial services IT compliance is a multi-framework challenge. Your firm may need to satisfy FINRA, SEC, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and CCPA simultaneously — each with different requirements, audit cycles, and evidence standards.
FINRA: Regulation S-P (privacy), FINRA Rule 4370 (business continuity), cybersecurity examination checklist, books and records retention under SEC Rule 17a-4. We maintain all documentation and evidence so your compliance officer can respond to FINRA inquiries within days, not weeks.
SEC Cybersecurity Rules (2023): Material incident disclosure within 4 business days, annual cybersecurity risk management disclosure, board governance documentation. We maintain incident response procedures and documentation that satisfy these requirements.
PCI DSS: If your firm processes credit card payments — even for fee collection — PCI DSS applies. We implement network segmentation, encrypt cardholder data, manage vulnerability scanning, and maintain SAQ documentation.
SOC 2 Type II: Increasingly required by institutional clients and custodians. We implement Trust Service Criteria (security, availability, confidentiality), manage continuous evidence collection, and support annual audits.
Our track record: zero compliance failures across FINRA examinations, PCI DSS assessments, and SOC 2 audits for all financial services clients.
