IT Solutions
Compliance and Risk Management
Financial services organizations from wealth advisors to banks operate within one of the most heavily regulated industries, requiring adherence to standards from FFIEC, GLBA, SOX, PCI DSS and state-level regulations like NYDFS cybersecurity requirements. Rather than approaching compliance as separate initiatives, your firm needs an integrated strategy that addresses regulatory obligations while strengthening your overall security posture.
Business Continuity Planning
FINRA, the SEC and other regulators require that financial service firms like yours be able to demonstrate the ability to restore and resume operations after an incident, as well as preserve the integrity of the sensitive data your clients entrust you to manage. By law and best practice, you must have a business continuity plan (BCP) in place that shows you have conducted a risk assessment of your persistent vulnerabilities and taken the steps to defend against them.
SWK offers tailored business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) solutions and services that will help you meet compliance as well as protect your mission-critical systems and data. From dedicated employee awareness training to modern, cloud-hosted backup solutions, we offer the resources you need to mitigate downtime and get your operations back on track after disruption.
Cloud Hosting for Software and IT
Whether scaling your operations during peak periods or ensuring consistent performance across multiple locations, your firm needs technology infrastructure that adapts to your business rather than constraining it. Legacy on-premise systems often create bottlenecks that limit your ability to respond quickly to market opportunities and client demands. SWK’s cloud hosting services eliminate these constraints by providing scalable, secure infrastructure tailored specifically for financial service environments. Take advantage of enterprise-grade security, automated monitoring, and seamless integration capabilities that reduce IT overhead while empowering your team to focus on serving clients and growing your business.
