High-security managed IT architecture engineered specifically for wealth management firms, CPAs, registered investment advisors (RIAs), private equity, and credit unions across Sacramento, Roseville, and Folsom. We guarantee full alignment with FINRA, SEC Rule 17a-4, GLBA, and the FTC Safeguards Rule.
Financial services firms are among the highest-value targets for global cybercrime cartels due to the immense profitability of wire fraud, tax refund fraud, and confidential portfolio data extortion. Furthermore, regulatory agencies have zero tolerance for lax security: FINRA, the SEC, and the FTC actively issue punitive fines against financial advisors and accounting firms lacking immutable WORM storage, written information security programs (WISP), and dual-factor authentication.
Business PC Support (BPS) engineers compliance-first IT ecosystems for Sacramento financial institutions. We implement tamper-proof email archiving, zero-trust endpoint access, encrypted client transfer portals, and sub-15-minute disaster recovery failover that satisfy every audit inquiry.
Full compliance with FINRA Rule 4370 and SEC Rule 17a-4 for non-rewritable books and records preservation.
Zero-trust controls, out-of-band wire verification protocols, and AI anti-phishing protection for accounting teams.
Comprehensive Written Information Security Programs (WISP) and annual third-party risk assessment reports.
Immediate senior engineering support during critical tax deadlines, month-end closes, and market trading hours.
Standard email hosting allows users to permanently delete sent or received messages from deleted items folders. For SEC and FINRA registered advisors, this is an immediate regulatory violation carrying severe disciplinary actions. Business PC Support implements compliant cloud archiving that journals every inbound, outbound, and internal message into an unalterable, encrypted WORM vault with instantaneous e-discovery search tools.
This archiving captures all metadata, message headers, and attachments, guaranteeing that your firm can produce exact, verifiable digital evidence during any FINRA disciplinary review or SEC examination.
Wire transfer interception is the primary goal of cybercriminals targeting wealth managers and escrow firms. Attackers use compromised email accounts to send fraudulent wiring instructions. We enforce out-of-band verification workflows, implement mailbox forwarding rule monitors, and lock down workstations using application whitelisting and EDR behavioral threat detection.
Our security configurations prevent unauthorized browser extensions, restrict unsanctioned USB drive connections, and mandate biometric or FIDO2 hardware tokens for any employee accessing banking or custody portals.
Transmitting tax returns, social security numbers, and bank account details over unencrypted standard email violates the FTC Safeguards Rule. We deploy seamless, branded encrypted email portals and secure document dropboxes that allow your clients to transmit sensitive tax and financial documents with zero risk of interception.
Clients can upload W-2s, 1099s, and portfolio disclosures through an intuitive web interface with banking-grade TLS 1.3 encryption, ensuring your practice projects professionalism while maintaining total regulatory compliance.
During the intense pressure of tax season and quarterly financial reporting, software slowness directly impedes billable revenue. Our engineers optimize server memory buffers and SQL query indexing for industry-standard financial software, including Lacerte, Drake, ProConnect, UltraTax CS, QuickBooks Enterprise, Morningstar Office, and Orion.
We deploy dedicated virtual private cloud servers or local high-speed SSD arrays with daily automated defragmentation and transaction log pruning, ensuring sub-second screen loads even during peak March and April workload surges.
Business Email Compromise (BEC) targeting financial firms has resulted in millions of dollars diverted to offshore bank accounts. Attackers silently compromise an advisor's mailbox, establish hidden forwarding rules, and wait for a capital call or real estate closing before injecting fraudulent routing numbers into email threads.
BPS implements real-time mailbox audit policies that instantly alert our SOC if an unauthorized auto-forwarding rule or unusual foreign login occurs. Furthermore, we assist leadership in establishing mandatory out-of-band dual-authorization callback protocols that prevent fraudulent wires from ever being initiated.
California wealth advisors, CPAs, and financial practices are subject to the strictest state privacy mandates in the nation under the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Clients have statutory rights to access, delete, and restrict the sale or sharing of their personal financial records.
Business PC Support configures Microsoft Purview data loss prevention (DLP) policies that automatically identify, tag, and protect sensitive California resident data across your endpoints, cloud drives, and email channels, preventing accidental data leakage and ensuring seamless CPRA audit compliance.
Institutional clients, family offices, and corporate partners increasingly demand independent validation that your financial practice maintains robust cybersecurity safeguards. Achieving a SOC 2 Type II attestation requires proving that your access controls, encryption, and logging procedures operate effectively over a multi-month testing period.
BPS provides complete SOC 2 engineering preparation. We implement required technical baselines, vet upstream software vendors for supply-chain risks, conduct annual vulnerability scans, and partner with your external audit firm to supply all necessary technical evidence.
When FINRA, SEC, or state examiners issue an audit notice, you are required to furnish detailed technical logs, disaster recovery test logs, and third-party risk assessments. Business PC Support compiles and maintains your complete digital audit defense binder, working directly with your compliance officers to provide all requested technical proof.
We participate directly in audit interviews with regulatory examiners, explaining network security topologies and demonstrating proof of encryption, significantly reducing friction for your compliance leadership.
