IT Built for Financial Firms That Can't Afford a Second of Downtime
Financial services firms face unique IT challenges — from protecting non-public personal information (NPI) to keeping trading, portfolio, and CRM platforms running through every market open and close. ACS provides managed IT, cybersecurity, and financial SaaS support built specifically for advisors, wealth managers, RIAs, broker-dealers, and compliance teams.
IT Problems That Cost Financial Firms Clients and AUM
Financial technology has unique demands that generic IT providers don't understand. These are the issues we solve for RIAs, broker-dealers, and wealth management firms every day.
Client NPI & PII Data Breaches
A single exposed client record can trigger SEC enforcement, GLBA penalties, and a mass exodus of AUM. We lock down NPI end-to-end so your fiduciary duty is never a liability.
Downtime During Market Hours
When Bloomberg freezes at 9:31 AM or your CRM crashes mid-review meeting, every minute is measured in missed trades and lost trust. We engineer for trading-hours uptime that generic MSPs can't match.
Misconfigured Fintech Stacks
Orion, Addepar, eMoney, and Redtail all require specialized integration — bolt-on IT providers guess at it. Our engineers configure them the way the vendors actually intend.
SEC, FINRA & NYDFS Obligations
Rule 4511 books-and-records, Reg S-P privacy, NYDFS 23 NYCRR 500 — the regulatory stack is brutal. We map your IT controls directly to the frameworks examiners test against.
Remote & Hybrid Advisor Access
Advisors need secure access to client data from home offices, branch locations, and client sites without leaking NPI over home Wi-Fi. We build zero-trust access that satisfies compliance and advisors alike.
Unpredictable IT Costs
Hourly break-fix billing destroys budgets and punishes you for needing help. Our flat-rate managed services make IT a predictable line item your CFO will actually smile at.
We Don't Just Support Your Fintech — We Configure It Right
Most IT providers install fintech and walk away. ACS goes further: we configure your platforms to match your firm's workflows, integrate them with custodians and CRMs, and optimize settings for security, retention, and performance.
From initial migration to Salesforce FSC or Orion, to building Addepar reporting workspaces, to ensuring your Bloomberg deployment meets latency targets — we understand how advisors actually work with these tools.

Why Financial Services Cybersecurity Is Different
Financial firms have regulatory and fiduciary obligations that make cybersecurity more than just good practice — it's a legal requirement.
SEC Reg S-P & GLBA Safeguards Rule
Financial firms are legally required to safeguard NPI with written policies, administrative safeguards, and technical controls. A single lapse can trigger SEC enforcement, state AG action, and private litigation.
Financial Firms Are Prime Targets
Wealth managers, RIAs, and broker-dealers sit on concentrated pools of high-net-worth data and wire-transfer authority, making them the #1 target for BEC and ransomware. Our defensive stack is built for how your firm is actually attacked.
Cyber Insurance Requirements
Underwriters now demand MFA, EDR, immutable backups, 24/7 monitoring, and documented incident response — or they walk. We deliver the exact control set insurers ask for.
Regulator & Custodian Mandates
SEC exams, FINRA sweeps, NYDFS filings, and custodian security questionnaires all demand documented evidence of your IT and security posture. We produce the artifacts examiners and custodians expect.
