IT Services for Financial Services Firms

Financial firms face overlapping regulatory requirements from the SEC, FINRA, NY DFS, and their own investors. SBK works with hedge funds, PE firms, RIAs, broker-dealers, and family offices to meet cybersecurity obligations, pass vendor due diligence, and keep audit evidence current.

Common challenges we solve

SOC 2 readiness with a small team

Your fund admin or LP is asking for SOC 2, but you have three people in IT (or zero). We scope the audit, write the policies, implement the controls, and manage the auditor relationship so you get the report without hiring a compliance team.

SEC and FINRA cybersecurity requirements

Rule 206(4)-9 requires written information security policies. FINRA expects documented incident response and business continuity plans. We build these programs from templates tested across dozens of financial firms, not from scratch.

Vendor due diligence from LPs and counterparties

Every new LP relationship triggers a technology questionnaire. The questions cover encryption, access controls, data retention, and disaster recovery. We maintain your evidence library so each questionnaire takes hours instead of weeks.

Data classification nobody has done

Regulators expect you to know where sensitive data lives, who can access it, and how it moves. Most firms have never classified their data. We run the inventory, tag the sensitive systems, and build the access matrix your auditor needs to see.
