Cybersecurity for RIA

We understand how difficult it is to manage strict SEC mandates, protect sensitive client data, maintain performance, and handle the constant threat of sophisticated cyberattacks. CyberSecureRIA exists to meet those specific challenges. We deliver cybersecurity solutions tailored to the way RIAs operate—solutions built to keep you ahead of threats and in full control of your cyber risk.

Fortify Your Defenses and Increase Your Resilience

When a cyber incident strikes, timing matters. The SEC doesn’t just expect prevention—it expects a complete response. Your firm must have plans not only to detect an attack, but to react immediately and restore operations effectively.

We build systems that do exactly that. Our approach combines real-time intrusion detection with structured responses that are fast, specific, and aligned with SEC cybersecurity requirements. From the technical controls to the human response, every procedure is documented, tested, and easy to follow.

CyberSecureRIA helps you structure your defenses for impact. Incidents should lead to action—not panic.

No Delays. No Panic.

Managing a crisis begins with knowing what to do under pressure. A vague plan doesn’t help during an actual breach. You need clear roles, ordered steps, and a way to keep operations moving while security teams work.

That’s what we help you build. Your team will know how to respond immediately—whether it’s isolating infected systems, informing affected parties, or initiating secure backups. Every second saved reduces damage and protects your reputation.

Our strategy is simple: keep operations moving, limit losses, and prove—if necessary—that your firm met its responsibilities under SEC RIA requirements.

Why CyberSecureRIA

We focus on cybersecurity for RIA firms. That means we understand the mix of performance, risk, and compliance that defines your environment. Our work is efficient, direct, and shaped by what actually matters to regulators and clients.

Tailored Strategies

Each firm has unique systems, staff, and client demands. We design your strategy based on how you operate—not by applying generic templates.

Clear Communication

Security plans work only if everyone understands them. We explain risks, infrastructures, and procedures in plain terms, without jargon or unnecessary complexity.

Hands-On Expertise

Our specialists work with RIAs on a daily basis and are fully versed in SEC cybersecurity RIA rules. We apply this knowledge in every service we offer—whether that's a technical scan or a full security plan.

We don’t provide hype. We provide tested answers that fit your firm’s real-world risks.

Cybersecurity Threat Assessment

Risk visibility is the first requirement of any serious security program. We give your firm the information needed to take smart, defensible steps.

Our cybersecurity threat assessment includes:

• System Check – We run full diagnostics on firewalls, encryption standards, access controls, and authentication tools.
• Vulnerability Mapping – We identify where sensitive data lives, how it moves, and where it’s exposed.
• Benchmarking – Your security controls are compared directly against SEC Cybersecurity Regulations, best practices, and expectations for RIAs.
• Priority Ranking – We deliver a ranked breakdown of issues you must address—starting with the most urgent.

This gives you a clear plan, not just a list of problems. Our assessment is specific, practical, and built for follow-through.

Attack Simulation

Many cyber incidents are successful because nobody’s practiced what to do. That’s why simulation matters. It gives you a chance to test systems and people—before something real happens.

We simulate real-world attack types, including:

• Phishing and email fraud
• Credential theft
• Malware delivery
• Ransomware deployment

Each scenario tests your systems and your team. Who clicks? Who reports? How fast is the alert handled? What gets missed?

After the drill, you’ll receive a detailed report on technical response, team behavior, and procedural gaps—with clear recommendations to strengthen your readiness immediately.

Business Continuity and Incident Response

When a breach occurs, firms are expected to respond deliberately—and with evidence of preparation. Regulators want more than recovery; they require proof that the process followed an approved, tested plan.

We work with you to create that plan. Our business continuity and incident response processes are designed for full alignment with SEC cybersecurity requirements.

Your plan will include:

• Incident classification
• Containment and isolation steps
• Secure recovery for operational systems

The result is a program you can execute quickly and defend confidently in the event of an exam.

Managed Security Services

CyberSecureRIA offers full-service security management to keep your firm protected every day. You won’t need to hire in-house security staff or train your team to handle threats they may never encounter. We do that for you.

Our managed services include:

• Continuous Monitoring – Your systems are monitoring around the clock, detecting suspicious behaviors before damage spreads.
• Quick Support – Alert triggered? Our response team steps in immediately to evaluate and guide the reaction.
• Routine Maintenance – Our team performs regular updates on firewalls, operating systems, antivirus software, and all critical security controls.
• Compliance Assurance – We keep your settings, policies, and protections aligned with active SEC cybersecurity requirements at all times.

Think of this as always-on defense customized for the advisory world. You retain control—we provide the visibility, action, and support behind the scenes.

Compliance

Cybersecurity compliance isn’t just paperwork—it’s the presence of working systems, documented policies, tested procedures, and reasonable supervision around digital risk. The SEC RIA requirements make this clear.

CyberSecureRIA helps you build and maintain your cybersecurity compliance program. Our work stays focused strictly on cyber-related requirements—no distractions, no overreach.

The era of traditional security is over. SEC registered advisors must stay sharp, track changes in cybersecurity regulation, and take proactive action to protect client assets and firm operations. CyberSecureRIA reduces that burden by giving you direct access to everything you need to meet the challenge and maintain trust.

Time is not on your side when threats emerge. Having a partner who understands your structure, protects your infrastructure, and aligns with SEC cybersecurity requirements is critical.

Contact CyberSecureRIA for a customized consultation. We’ll help you build a program that strengthens your defenses, increases your resilience, and supports the success of your advisory business.

Protect your firm. Stand behind your strategy. Build with confidence.

Building your RIA cyber protection strategy today helps you avoid tomorrow’s headlines. Be ready when it counts—with CyberSecureRIA at your side.
