Financial Services

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.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is increasingly being recommended and even required by regulators and watchdog organizations as a rudimentary but essential layer of cybersecurity. Financial service firms caught in the midst of a breach without MFA have seen considerable penalizations, a trend that is likely to continue as proper password management proves increasingly difficult to enforce. Going beyond these and other first steps to establishing zero-trust security, your business must consider some form of endpoint protection to defend against the gaps created by shadow IT devices in your network.
