For Financial Services

IT that holds up to your auditors.

We run technology operations for RIAs, broker-dealers, fund managers, and finance teams whose every endpoint, identity, and access record may end up in front of a regulator.

  • SEC Reg S-P / NYDFS Part 500 / FINRA's Cybersecurity Checklist each call for different IT artifacts. Your IT vendor should already be collecting them.
  • Clients ask 'do you have an information-security program?' and you need a documented yes — fast — without losing the deal.
  • Identity is the attack surface. Phishing, account takeover, insider threats — your MFA, conditional access, and EDR have to be enforced and evidenced.
  • Auditor and examiner questionnaires arrive quarterly; the IT-side answers should already exist, not be assembled from scratch each time.

SEC + FINRA + NYDFS Compliance-aware by default

Every financial-services firm starts with the same foundation — and adds the layers that match the regulated, examiner-facing shape of financial work.

Why finance teams work with us

A wealth-management firm’s IT posture is read first through a regulatory lens and second through an operational one. Most MSPs build for the second order and are surprised when the first arrives. We build for both.

Our financial-services clients include single-advisor RIAs running on five laptops, multi-state broker-dealers under both SEC and state regulator scrutiny, and fund-administration teams whose investor reporting flows through systems with strict access-control requirements. The patterns repeat: identity is the attack surface; evidence is the audit currency; documented IT controls beat heroic email threads. Your CCO and outside counsel remain the regulatory interpreters; we operate the IT layer they rely on.

What is included for finance firms

360SmartIT Department is the operational base — managed Windows + Mac endpoints, EDR, automated patching, full asset visibility, M365 administration (Conditional Access enforcing US-only access for non-traveling staff, Sensitivity Labels + DLP for outbound investor communication, MFA + FIDO2 for senior accounts), security awareness training automated and tracked (NYDFS Part 500.14 requirement), simulated phishing matching the threat patterns finance firms see, dark-web monitoring with named-account alerting, and unlimited AISA tickets. Layered on top, the components that meet financial-services regulatory expectations:

  • 360CyberProtect MDR — 24/7 SOC oversight with human analysts. Required by most financial-services cyber-insurance underwriters and many state regulators.
  • 360CloudBackupPro — point-in-time backup of advisor email and document-store with WORM-equivalent retention, ransomware-resilient by design. Restoration drills documented for the auditor.
  • 360M365Backup — daily Exchange / OneDrive / SharePoint / Teams backup beyond Microsoft’s recycle-bin window, with granular restore for retention obligations.
  • 360DMARC — email authentication monitoring (DMARC / SPF / DKIM with progressive enforcement) per NYDFS Part 500.16 and the email-spoofing patterns RIAs see most often.
  • 365 Security Reviews — Standard — quarterly review of the M365 tenant with IT-control mapping against SEC Reg S-P, NYDFS Part 500, and the FINRA Cybersecurity Checklist; written summary suitable for client and counterparty due-diligence responses.
  • Pro1 / Pro2 / Pro3 Master engagement — incident-response retainer with named technical lead, audit-response coordination, quarterly business review with your CCO present. Billed per-minute only when authorized.

Trading + advisory platform integrations

We work alongside the platforms most financial-services firms run — custodian platforms (Schwab, Fidelity, Pershing), portfolio management (Orion, Tamarac, Black Diamond), trade-order management (Tamarac Trading, FlexTrade, Charles River), advisor CRM (Redtail, Wealthbox, Salesforce Financial Services Cloud), financial planning (eMoney, MoneyGuide), and the standard productivity stack — as the firm’s IT partner who understands how those platforms intersect with your endpoint, identity, and security posture. When the custodian’s single sign-on collides with your conditional-access policy, you have one number to call.

Desktop entitlements — Bloomberg Terminal, FactSet, Morningstar Direct — sit on advisor workstations under our endpoint management with the per-seat licensing, vendor-installer cadence, and admin discipline they require. We treat them as production tools that drive client conversations, with the uptime expectations that come with that.

Built around your CCO, not in spite of them

Most of our financial-services engagements include a working relationship with the firm’s Chief Compliance Officer. The artifacts we produce — endpoint inventories, access-control reports, training-completion records, change logs — feed directly into the CCO’s compliance program. Less reverse-engineering at audit time. Less negotiating with the firm’s IT vendor over what they can produce.

For firms that use an outsourced-CCO model — Foreside, Joot, ACA Group, and their peers — we run the same artifact cadence on a slightly different rhythm. The handoff is scheduled rather than embedded: evidence packages, control-change summaries, and exam-prep checklists land on the outsourced CCO’s calendar so they walk in current.

Audit-ready is a long-game discipline

The firms that move through cybersecurity exams cleanly share a common pattern: their IT vendor has been quietly producing the evidence all along, in the format examiners and auditors expect to see. That is the standard we work to. Findings, dispositions, and the regulatory record remain the firm’s responsibility — we make the IT artifacts ready.

What is included

A purpose-fit stack for financial-services firms.

These are the services we configure by default for financial-services firms. Add or remove any of them in the build flow.

  • 360SmartIT Department

    The flagship goCloudOffice® subscription. One monthly price per managed computer covers continuous security, automated maintenance, performance monitoring, complete asset visibility, and unlimited AI-driven support through AISA — our highly specialized AI Support Assistant. Covers Windows 10, Windows 11, and macOS 14.x – 26.x identically: same coverage philosophy, same per-computer price, same unlimited support.

  • 360CyberProtect MDR

    A real Security Operations Center watching your environment around the clock. Adds 24/7 human-driven detection + response on top of 360CyberProtect — analysts review high-severity alerts, hunt for indicators of compromise, and act on your behalf within agreed playbooks. Required by most cyber-insurance underwriters and many compliance frameworks.

  • 360CloudBackupPro

    Enterprise-class professional backup with 24/7 monitoring. Backup every 30 minutes or on demand, protected with enterprise-grade 256-bit encryption, for Windows and macOS laptops and desktops worldwide. Each covered computer includes 200 GB of differential file-level backup, pooled across your fleet — one computer can use 240 GB while another uses 150 GB. Keep 30 file versions (configurable), restore rapidly online or from local cache, and manage everything through advanced remote configuration. Image-based backup with flexible scheduling is available as an option. Recovery is one AISA ticket away — a file, a folder, or a whole computer; ransomware-resistant by design (immutable backup chain, isolated recovery network). Pricing from $13.50 per computer per month (annual term); extra pooled storage is available in 250 GB ($25/month) and 1 TB ($80/month) blocks.

  • 360M365Backup

    Microsoft 365 protects against their failures, not yours. If a user accidentally deletes a critical SharePoint folder, or an attacker compromises an account and wipes mail, M365 cannot help you past the recycle-bin window. 360M365Backup takes daily snapshots of every M365 surface (Exchange mail, OneDrive files, SharePoint sites, Teams chats and channels) into independent storage, with granular restore.

  • 360DMARC

    Comprehensive email-authentication management for your domain. We deploy and tune DMARC, SPF, and DKIM, then ingest every DMARC report through DMARCDIGESTS — and AISA (built on Claude) reads each one, decides whether action is required, and either acts (if pre-authorized) or escalates to a human only when needed. You get a clean monthly summary instead of a 400-row CSV. Includes brand-protection guidance (BIMI eligibility, reverse-DNS hygiene). Priced per email domain you own.

  • 365 Security Reviews — Standard

    Continuous, evidence-grade security review of your Microsoft 365 tenant. Covers identity (Entra ID hardening, conditional access posture, MFA coverage, privileged-role hygiene), Exchange + Defender configuration, SharePoint + OneDrive external-sharing surface, Teams policy + meeting controls, and audit-log baseline. Delivered as a quarterly written report with monthly drift checks in between, prioritized remediation roadmap, and an executive summary suitable for cyber-insurance underwriters or SOC 2 / HIPAA auditors. The one-time $500 onboarding covers tenant baseline-capture, role-mapping, and the first remediation backlog.
