Cybersecurity & Managed Security Services for Financial Advisors & Wealth Management Firms
Registered investment advisers and wealth management firms hold exactly what attackers want — client financial accounts, Social Security numbers, and the authority to move money. cAIberOps helps financial advisors and RIAs across Northern Virginia, Washington D.C., and Maryland protect client data, stop fraud, and meet the SEC's Regulation S-P requirements.
The SEC now requires a cybersecurity program
The SEC's amended Regulation S-P now requires registered investment advisers to maintain a written incident response program, notify affected clients within 30 days of a data breach, oversee their service providers' security, and keep records proving it.
These rules now apply to firms of every size. Larger advisers had to comply by December 3, 2025, and smaller firms by June 3, 2026 — the requirement is in force.
This is on top of your duties as a 'financial institution' under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and FINRA's expectations for broker-dealers.
The stakes are high: advisers are prime targets for wire fraud and account takeover, and an exam finding or client breach can mean penalties, lost clients, and lasting reputational harm.
What Regulation S-P and your clients expect
An incident response program
Documented procedures to detect, respond to, and recover from a breach of customer information — backed by real monitoring, not just a policy on paper.
30-day breach notification
The ability to detect a breach and notify affected clients promptly.
Service-provider oversight
Ensuring the vendors who touch client data protect it and report incidents.
Core safeguards
Multi-factor authentication, encryption, access controls, monitoring, and staff training — which cyber insurers require too.
Financial Firms We Protect: RIAs, Broker-Dealers, Wealth Managers, and Solo Advisors
Registered Investment Advisers (RIAs)
Broker-Dealers and Registered Representatives
RIAs are held to the SEC's amended Regulation S-P, which now requires a written incident response program, notification of affected clients within thirty days of a breach, oversight of service providers, and records to prove it. You hold client account numbers, Social Security numbers, and the authority to move money, which makes you a high-value target for wire fraud and account takeover. cAIberOps delivers the monitoring and incident response, email security, multi-factor authentication, dark web monitoring, and staff training that support the technical core of a Regulation S-P program, while your firm owns the policies and filings.
Broker-dealers and the registered representatives who work with them operate under FINRA oversight in addition to SEC rules, and they handle customer accounts and transactions that attackers would love to hijack. Phishing and business email compromise are used to impersonate clients, reset access, and redirect funds. With customer trust and regulatory scrutiny both on the line, strong controls are essential. cAIberOps secures the email, devices, and logins your reps use, monitors continuously for intrusions, and trains staff to recognize the scams aimed at moving client money.
Wealth Management and Family Office Firms
Independent and Solo Advisors
Wealth managers and family offices serve high-net-worth clients, which means they concentrate exactly the kind of wealth and personal information that draws sophisticated, targeted attacks. A single compromised inbox can expose a client's entire financial life or enable a fraudulent transfer of significant size. These clients also expect discretion and flawless security as a condition of the relationship. cAIberOps protects the email and endpoints behind your practice, enforces multi-factor authentication, watches the dark web for leaked credentials, and provides the reporting that demonstrates a serious security program.
Independent and solo financial advisors carry the same regulatory and client obligations as large firms, but rarely have dedicated IT or security staff. Regulation S-P now applies to advisers of every size, so being small is no longer an exemption, and a breach can end a one-person practice. The good news is that meeting these obligations does not require building a security team. cAIberOps delivers enterprise-grade email security, endpoint protection, monitoring, dark web monitoring, and training as an affordable managed service, so an independent advisor can protect clients and meet expectations without hiring anyone.
How cAIberOps Protects Your Firm
Email Security
Advisers are top targets for wire-fraud and impersonation scams. AI-driven phishing and account-takeover defense (powered by Check Point Harmony) stops the email attacks that lead to fraudulent transfers.
Endpoint Protection & Response (EDR/MDR)
Behavior-based defense against ransomware and malware on every device, with the continuous monitoring Regulation S-P expects.
24/7 Threat Monitoring & Incident Response
Continuous monitoring, quarantine management, and rapid containment — the backbone of the incident response program the SEC now requires.
Dark Web Monitoring
We continuously scan dark web marketplaces and breach data for your firm's leaked credentials, so stolen logins are reset before attackers reach client accounts.
Security Awareness Training & Phishing Simulation
We run ongoing security awareness training and simulated phishing so your advisors and staff can recognize the attacks aimed at your clients' money.
