Cybersecurity and managed IT for financial advisory firms

Cybersecurity built for how financial advisors actually run.

Financial advisory firms carry more digital risk than most owners realize: client account credentials, custodian access, tax returns, beneficiary data, and the CRM and portfolio management software that runs your entire practice. Ransomware groups specifically target advisory firms because a breach of client data is a reputational event you cannot recover from quickly, and one BEC wire-fraud event can move a client’s life savings to an attacker before the fraud is caught. Techsico IT delivers managed IT and cybersecurity built around how financial advisory firms actually operate.

Cyber insurance renewal is the forcing function. Here’s what your underwriter is asking about.

A financial advisory firm cannot afford to have its CRM, portfolio management system, or custodian access locked down for two weeks. Attackers know the pressure of trade execution, quarter-end reporting, and client review meetings, and they time their attacks accordingly. Business email compromise (BEC) scams are rampant against advisory firms, where a single fraudulent wire-transfer instruction in a spoofed client email can redirect tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars from a client account.

Most financial advisory firms also work with a network of custodians, broker-dealers, financial planning software vendors, and document portals. Each connection is a potential entry point. Branch offices, advisors using personal devices, and cloud tools adopted without IT oversight create gaps that attackers actively exploit. Techsico IT builds the foundation that closes those gaps without slowing down your practice.

What we deploy for financial advisory firms



Email Security & BEC Prevention

Business email compromise is the top financial threat to advisory firms. We deploy email authentication, impersonation detection, and wire-transfer verification policies that stop fraudulent payment instructions, especially the spoofed-client wire requests that target advisory inboxes. One blocked BEC attack typically pays for years of our service.

Ransomware Protection & Backup

Immutable cloud backups of your CRM, client documents, and financial records, with tested recovery times measured in hours, not weeks. If ransomware hits, we get you back to work fast without paying the ransom or losing critical client data.



Managed IT & Help Desk

Your advisors and back-office staff need IT that works, not an inbox full of IT tickets to manage. We provide full managed IT support for your office, branch locations, and remote users. Hardware procurement, software management, and responsive help-desk support included.



Network Security & Remote Access

Branch offices, work-from-home advisor setups, and remote employee access are all common attack entry points. We secure your network perimeter, manage your firewalls, and deploy VPN with multi-factor authentication (MFA) so your team can work from anywhere without exposing your systems to the internet.



Vendor & Third-Party Access Management

Every custodian, financial planning software, document portal, and broker-dealer integration with access to your systems is a risk. We implement access controls and credential policies that give external parties only what they need, and revoke access automatically when the engagement ends, without you having to track it manually.



Cyber Insurance Compliance

Advisory firms are increasingly required to demonstrate security controls to maintain cyber insurance, satisfy regulator examinations (SEC, FINRA, state), and qualify for custodian relationships. We document your security posture, implement required controls, and help you complete insurance applications accurately, so coverage holds when claims happen.

Who we serve

We serve financial advisory firms across Oklahoma and the surrounding region: registered investment advisors (RIAs), hybrid broker-dealer-RIAs, fee-only planners, multi-family offices, and independent advisory practices. Whether you have one advisor and a paraplanner or a mid-size firm with multiple offices, we scale our services to fit your practice without overbuilding your stack.
