So most wealth management firms I talk to have been told a cybersecurity assessment takes months and costs six figures. That’s not our experience.
We built a 10-day Compliance Readiness Assessment specifically for RIAs and wealth management firms. 10 business days. About 3-4 hours of your team’s time total. And you walk away with a gap analysis mapped to actual SEC examination priorities, not generic best practices.
Here’s the thing: the most valuable part isn’t the security configuration review. It’s the disaster recovery test. We don’t just confirm backups are configured. We run an actual restore. And almost every time, something comes up that nobody expected.
One pattern we see constantly: CRM data with no backup arrangement at all. The firm’s email and files restore fine, but the system that holds years of client relationship data? No safety net. That’s the kind of risk debt that accumulates silently until the day it doesn’t.
I wrote a full day-by-day walkthrough of what those 10 days actually look like, based on composite findings from typical firms. No fluff, no sales pitch, just what we check, what we find, and what you get at the end.

Tweet 2 (disaster recovery angle)
The most valuable part of any cybersecurity assessment isn’t the configuration review.
It’s running an actual restore of your backups.
Almost every firm we work with discovers something unexpected during this step. Backups existing and backups working are two very different things.
Tweet 3 (vendor risk angle)
Under updated Regulation S-P, wealth management firms need breach notification clauses in every vendor agreement that touches client data.
In our assessments, we consistently find 2 out of 3 vendors have zero security documentation on file.
If you haven’t reviewed your vendor agreements recently, this week’s a good time to start.

This week on the blog: What 10 days of compliance assessment actually looks like
We’ve published a full day-by-day walkthrough of our Compliance Readiness Assessment, based on composite findings from typical wealth management firms. It covers what we check each day, the kinds of gaps we consistently find (MFA blind spots, untested backups, vendor oversight gaps), and exactly what you walk away with at the end. If you’ve been putting off an assessment because you assumed it would take months, this might change your mind.
