Regulatory exam-readiness

Assess once. See it through both lenses.

If you're a covered institution, the same assessment doubles as an exam-readiness file. Every obligation is mapped to your control scores — so the gaps a generic maturity review scores as "fine" while leaving an examination exposure are surfaced automatically: the artifacts, the clocks, and the content the rule names but the framework doesn't.

SEC Regulation S-P

The 2024 amendments — a written program, the 30-day customer-notification clock, and service-provider oversight — read against your scores. For RIAs, broker-dealers, and registered funds.

FTC Safeguards Rule

16 CFR Part 314 for non-bank financial institutions — the Qualified Individual, mandatory MFA and encryption, a testing cadence, and the FTC breach notice.

Registers & documents

A vendor register that flags missing 72-hour breach clauses, a sensitive-data inventory, a risk register, an evidence file, the notification clock — and a draft WISP and incident-response plan.

✓ Reg S-P · larger entities — in force since Dec 3, 2025 ✓ Reg S-P · smaller entities — in force since Jun 3, 2026 ✓ FTC Safeguards — in force

Decision-support, not legal advice. Every mapping is verified against the rule text, and documents are prepared for your counsel's review. New to the rules? Read Reg S-P in plain English or Does the FTC Safeguards Rule apply to me?

Who it's for

One engine. Two overlays. Three kinds of client.

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is the engine underneath everything; Reg S-P and FTC Safeguards are the regulatory overlays that bolt on. Which one (if any) applies comes down to a single question — who regulates you?

No regulator

Family offices

A single- or multi-family office that wants a clear, honest cybersecurity picture and a plan — the maturity scorecard, roadmap, policies, and tabletops, with the discretion the family expects.

SEC-registered

RIAs & broker-dealers

Registered investment advisers, broker-dealers, funds, and SEC-registered multi-family offices — the full program plus the Reg S-P exam-readiness file.

FTC jurisdiction

Other financial institutions

State-registered RIAs, exempt reporting advisers, and other non-bank financial institutions — the program plus the FTC Safeguards Rule built and kept current.

Every engagement opens with a coverage determination that helps determine whether Reg S-P, the FTC Safeguards Rule, or neither applies — and what that means for you.
