IT Services for Financial AdvisorsOrion. eMoney. Redtail.
Reg S-P Compliant. BEC Protected.

Independent financial advisors — CFPs, ChFCs, fee-only RIAs, broker-dealer registered reps, and financial planning practitioners — carry the same SEC and FINRA compliance obligations as large advisory firms, but typically without a compliance officer, a dedicated IT team, or the budget for enterprise IT. That gap creates real risk: Regulation S-P requires written safeguards for client financial information, the SEC's cybersecurity rules require documented programs and annual review, and BEC targeting advisor-to-client wire instructions is among the most financially damaging cybercrime categories. Gradius delivers IT services built for independent financial advisors — Orion, eMoney, Redtail, and portfolio platform support, Reg S-P compliance, BEC protection, and 24/7 monitoring — at pricing that works for an independent practice, not just an enterprise firm.

What You Get

What Independent Financial Advisors Get When
IT Is Built Around Their Practice and Obligations

Independent financial advisors — solo RIAs, small advisory practices, CFP practitioners, and financial planners — need IT that handles compliance, protects client data, and supports client-facing technology reliably — without requiring enterprise IT resources they don't have. Here's what Gradius delivers.

📊
Portfolio Platform & Advisory Tool Support — Orion, eMoney, Riskalyze & More
Financial advisors depend on their technology stack to serve clients — Orion or Black Diamond for portfolio management and reporting, eMoney or MoneyGuidePro for financial planning, Riskalyze/Nitrogen for risk assessment, Redtail CRM or Wealthbox for client relationship management, and custodian feeds from Schwab Advisor Services, Fidelity Institutional, or Pershing. When any of these platforms has connectivity or performance issues, client service is affected. Gradius manages the IT infrastructure and connectivity that keeps the full advisor technology stack running reliably — resolving issues in under 15 minutes so a slow platform doesn't become a client service failure.
🏛️
SEC Reg S-P & Cybersecurity Compliance — Built for Independent Practices
Regulation S-P requires every investment advisor to implement written policies and procedures to protect client financial information — regardless of firm size. The SEC's cybersecurity disclosure rules require a documented cybersecurity risk management program, annual review, and Form ADV disclosure. These obligations apply to a solo RIA the same as they apply to a large firm. Most independent advisors haven't fully built or documented the required program. Gradius builds and maintains SEC-compliant IT security programs for independent advisory practices — at a scale and price that fits a smaller operation, not just a large enterprise.
🚨
BEC Wire Fraud Protection — Advisors Are Specifically Targeted
Business email compromise targeting financial advisors is among the highest-value BEC categories tracked by the FBI. Attackers compromise advisor email, monitor client communication to learn relationship patterns and expected wire activity, then send fraudulent wire instructions that appear to come from the advisor at the moment a client transfer is expected. For independent advisors whose client relationships are built on personal trust, a single successful BEC attack can redirect a client wire and permanently damage the relationship that took years to build. Gradius implements DMARC/DKIM/SPF, advanced email security, and MFA to defend against the specific BEC attack patterns used against financial advisors.
🔒
Client Financial Data Security — GLB Safeguards & Data Protection
Financial advisors hold client data that is among the most sensitive personal information a client will ever share — account numbers, Social Security numbers, tax information, investment records, estate planning documents, and detailed financial circumstances. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act Safeguards Rule requires documented protections for this information. A data breach triggers state notification obligations, potential regulatory action, and the kind of client trust damage that an independent advisory practice cannot easily recover from. Gradius implements the access controls, encryption, and data protection that protect client financial information and satisfy the GLB Safeguards standard.
⚡
Reliable IT for Client-Facing Meetings & Presentations
For an independent financial advisor, every client meeting is a moment of trust — and technology that fails during a review presentation, a financial plan walkthrough, or a portfolio discussion is a professional setback that takes time to recover from. Gradius proactively monitors advisor workstations, network, and internet connectivity so the client-facing technology environment is ready before a meeting begins, not being troubleshot while a client waits. Under-15-minute help desk response means issues that surface unexpectedly get resolved fast — because an independent advisor doesn't have an IT department to call on.
💰
Flat-Rate IT — Scaled for an Independent Practice, Not an Enterprise
Independent financial advisors don't need enterprise IT contracts — they need enterprise IT capability at independent-practice pricing. Gradius delivers compliance programs, BEC defenses, portfolio platform support, and 24/7 monitoring at a flat monthly rate sized to a small advisory practice — typically one to five advisors and their support staff — so the IT investment is proportional to the practice without sacrificing the compliance and security standard the regulatory environment requires.

Does Your Advisory Practice Have the SEC Compliance
Program and BEC Defenses the Regulations Require?

Most independent advisors have general IT in place but haven't built the documented Reg S-P program the SEC requires — or the specific BEC defenses that the FBI has documented as essential for financial advisor practices. Book a free assessment and find out where your practice stands on both.

Why Independent Financial Advisors Choose Gradius

Enterprise IT Compliance & Security at
Independent Practice Pricing

The SEC doesn't reduce its compliance requirements for small RIAs — Reg S-P and the cybersecurity disclosure rules apply regardless of firm size. Gradius delivers the same compliance programs and BEC defenses that larger advisory firms maintain, scaled for a solo or small-team advisory practice and priced proportionally — so the regulatory obligation is met without the enterprise IT budget.

📊
Advisory Technology Platform Expertise
We understand the technology stack that runs an independent advisory practice — Orion Portfolio Solutions and Black Diamond for portfolio management and client reporting; eMoney Advisor and MoneyGuidePro for financial planning; Riskalyze/Nitrogen for risk assessment; Redtail CRM and Wealthbox for client relationship management; and custodian feeds from Schwab Advisor Services, Fidelity Institutional, and Pershing. We troubleshoot advisory platform connectivity and performance issues with the operational context of an independent practice — not as generic software tickets.
🏛️
Reg S-P & Cybersecurity Compliance Built for Independent Advisors
Building an SEC-compliant cybersecurity program as an independent advisor typically means either hiring a compliance consultant to write the policies or leaving the documentation gap unaddressed until an exam finds it. Gradius builds and maintains the written policies, risk assessments, incident response documentation, and annual review process that Reg S-P and the SEC's cybersecurity rules require — as part of the IT services engagement, not as a separate consulting project billed by the hour.
🚨
BEC Defense Calibrated to Financial Advisor Attack Patterns
The FBI's IC3 unit identifies financial advisor BEC as a high-priority fraud category. The attack pattern is specific: account takeover of advisor email, monitoring of client communication to identify expected wire activity, then fraudulent wire instructions sent at the moment a client transfer is expected. We implement the specific defenses this attack chain requires: DMARC/DKIM/SPF authentication to prevent domain spoofing, advanced email security with impersonation detection, MFA on all advisor email and financial system access, and client communication protocols that reduce wire fraud exposure.
📍

FAQ

Common Questions About
IT Services for Independent Financial Advisors

Our IT services for financial advisors include: portfolio management and advisory platform support (Orion, Black Diamond, eMoney, MoneyGuidePro, Riskalyze/Nitrogen, Redtail CRM, Wealthbox); custodian connectivity support (Schwab Advisor Services, Fidelity Institutional, Pershing); SEC Reg S-P compliance program development and maintenance; SEC cybersecurity rule annual review and documentation; GLB Safeguards Rule compliance; BEC and wire fraud protection (DMARC/DKIM/SPF, advanced email security, MFA); client financial data protection; 24/7 NOC and SOC monitoring; endpoint security and EDR; backup and disaster recovery; and on-site support across NJ, NY & CT — all under one flat monthly rate sized for an independent advisory practice.
Yes — Regulation S-P applies to all registered investment advisors regardless of firm size. The SEC's Safeguards Rule requires every RIA to implement written policies and procedures to protect client records and information, provide notification to clients in the event of a breach, and oversee third-party service providers. The SEC's 2023 cybersecurity disclosure rules add requirements for a documented cybersecurity risk management program, annual review, and Form ADV disclosure that apply to advisors of all sizes. Many small and independent RIAs are operating with informal programs that don't meet the written documentation and annual review requirements. Gradius builds compliant programs specifically for small advisory practices and maintains them as part of the IT services engagement.
Extremely serious — and independent advisors are particularly vulnerable because they often lack the email security infrastructure that larger firms have in place. The FBI's IC3 consistently identifies financial advisor email compromise as a high-value fraud category. For an independent advisor, the stakes are compounded: the client relationship is often more personal and trust-based than at a larger firm, the advisor's name is the brand, and a wire fraud event that damages a client relationship has no institutional buffer to absorb the reputational impact. A single successful BEC attack can redirect a client wire of six figures or more and trigger both regulatory reporting obligations and a trust crisis the practice may not recover from. Gradius implements the specific defenses the FBI and SEC recommend for financial advisor practices.
Yes. We support the full range of advisory technology platforms — Orion Portfolio Solutions, Black Diamond/SS&C, eMoney Advisor, MoneyGuidePro, Riskalyze/Nitrogen, Redtail CRM, Wealthbox, Salesforce Financial Services Cloud, and custodian data feeds from Schwab Advisor Services, Fidelity Institutional, and Pershing NetX360. We manage the IT infrastructure and network connectivity these platforms depend on and troubleshoot issues with the operational context of an advisory practice — so platform problems get resolved by someone who understands how the tool fits into an advisor's workflow, not by a technician encountering it for the first time.
Most independent advisory practices are fully onboarded within 1–2 weeks. The onboarding includes a Reg S-P compliance gap assessment, BEC vulnerability assessment, portfolio platform infrastructure review, deployment of monitoring and security agents, and a meeting with the advisor and any operations staff — structured to avoid disruption to active client reviews or annual planning meetings. For advisors with pressing compliance timelines — an approaching SEC exam, a recently identified compliance gap, or an annual ADV review period — we prioritize the compliance program documentation on an accelerated schedule.
No long-term lock-ins. We offer month-to-month and annual agreements — your choice. Independent advisors stay with Gradius because the portfolio platforms run reliably, the Reg S-P compliance program is maintained, BEC defenses are in place, and IT stops being a source of compliance risk or operational distraction in a practice where every hour is better spent serving clients. We earn the renewal every month through performance.
