IT Infrastructure As Secure As
Your Clients' Portfolios
Financial firms operate under intense regulatory scrutiny and face sophisticated cyberthreats. P-Bon Consulting delivers managed IT and cybersecurity built for the regulatory realities of financial services — so you can focus on growing your clients' wealth, not worrying about your systems.
The Stakes Are Higher in Financial Services
SEC & FINRA Cybersecurity Rules
Depending on your registration, regulators may expect documented cybersecurity programs, incident response plans, and regular risk assessments. Failures can lead to enforcement action.
NYS DFS Cybersecurity Regulation
New York's 23 NYCRR 500 requires entities licensed or regulated by NYDFS to maintain a cybersecurity program, designate a CISO, and report incidents within 72 hours. Many investment advisers are not covered — we help you identify which rules apply, and counsel should confirm.
Wire Fraud & BEC Attacks
Business email compromise targeting financial firms costs the industry billions annually. One spoofed instruction can move millions in seconds.
Data Retention Requirements
FINRA and SEC require specific electronic record retention. Are your communications and trade data archived correctly and retrievably?
Third-Party Vendor Risk
Regulators hold you responsible for the cybersecurity practices of your technology vendors. Do you know what access they have — and how they protect it?
Incident Response Requirements
When a breach occurs, you have hours — not days — to respond and report. Without a tested incident response plan, you'll fail on both counts.
Compliance-Ready IT for Financial Professionals
Regulatory Compliance Support
We help you build and document technical controls that support your SEC, FINRA, and (where you are covered) NYS DFS obligations — so you are better prepared for examinations.

Email Security & Archiving
Secure email with anti-BEC controls, plus compliant email archiving and eDiscovery capabilities to meet FINRA record retention requirements.
Incident Response Planning
Documented, tested incident response plans that meet regulatory requirements — so when something happens, you respond with confidence, not chaos.
Secure Cloud & Microsoft 365
Compliant cloud configurations with proper access controls, MFA, and audit logging to support your regulatory obligations.
vCIO & Technology Strategy
