Cybersecurity for financial services firms
Implement the safeguards financial firms need, including MFA, encryption, access reviews, monitoring, incident response, and wire fraud controls.
Advisory firms, lenders, insurance agencies, and other financial businesses hold sensitive client data and move money, and many are subject to privacy and safeguarding rules. They are frequent targets of phishing, account takeover, and wire fraud, and regulators and clients increasingly expect documented controls.
We assess the firm's exposure and implement practical safeguards, including MFA, least-privilege access, encrypted devices, tested backups, monitoring, and an incident response plan. We document the controls so they can support the firm's written information security program.
Things to keep in mind
- Your firm remains responsible for its compliance program. We implement and document technical safeguards.
- Vendors that handle client data should be reviewed and bound by contract.
- Rehearse incident response at least annually.
