IT Support for Wealth Managers
& RIAsOrion. Tamarac. Black Diamond.
SEC Cybersecurity. Protected.

Our IT support for wealth managers and RIAs includes portfolio platform infrastructure support (Orion, Tamarac, Black Diamond/SS&C, Addepar, Riskalyze/Nitrogen, and others), SEC Reg S-P cybersecurity program development and maintenance, SEC cybersecurity rule incident response and documentation, FINRA Rule 4370 business continuity and disaster recovery planning, BEC and wire fraud protection, custodian feed and CRM connectivity support, client data encryption and access controls, 24/7 NOC and SOC monitoring, endpoint security and EDR, email security (including DMARC/DKIM/SPF), and on-site support across NJ, NY & CT — all under a flat monthly rate per user with no per-ticket charges.

The SEC has expanded its cybersecurity requirements for registered investment advisors significantly. Under Reg S-P (amended), RIAs must implement written policies and procedures to protect client financial information, notify clients of data breaches, and oversee service provider security. Under the SEC's 2023 cybersecurity disclosure rules, RIAs must disclose material cybersecurity incidents on Form ADV, maintain a written cybersecurity risk management program, conduct annual reviews, and document third-party service provider oversight. These are specific, documented obligations subject to SEC examination. Many smaller and mid-size RIAs either haven't fully implemented required programs or have informal programs that don't meet written documentation requirements. Gradius builds and maintains compliant cybersecurity programs specifically for SEC-registered investment advisors.

Yes. We support the major portfolio management and wealth technology platforms — Orion Portfolio Solutions, Tamarac (Envestnet), Black Diamond/SS&C, Addepar, Riskalyze/Nitrogen, eMoney Advisor, MoneyGuidePro, Redtail CRM, Wealthbox, and Salesforce Financial Services Cloud. We understand how these platforms depend on custodian data feeds, local and cloud infrastructure, and integration with each other — and troubleshoot connectivity and performance issues with the operational context of a wealth management firm. We also support custodian feed configuration with Schwab Advisor Services, Fidelity Institutional, and Pershing NetX360.

Extremely serious — and growing. Wealth managers and RIAs are disproportionately targeted by BEC because their client relationships involve high-value wire transfers, a high degree of trust, and clients who may not question instructions that appear to come from their trusted advisor. The FBI's IC3 unit consistently reports financial advisory relationships as among the highest-value BEC targets. A single successful attack can redirect a client wire transfer of six or seven figures — creating immediate regulatory reporting obligations under SEC cybersecurity rules, significant reputational damage, and potential liability claims. The combination of HNW client wealth, trusted advisor relationships, and frequent wire activity makes wealth managers a priority target. Gradius implements the specific email security, authentication, and verification controls that address this threat pattern.

Most wealth management firms and RIAs are fully onboarded within 1–2 weeks. Our engineers handle the complete transition — auditing the portfolio platform infrastructure and custodian connectivity, deploying monitoring and security agents, beginning the SEC Reg S-P and cybersecurity program assessment, and meeting your team — without disrupting active advisor workflows or client service. For firms with pressing compliance timelines — an approaching SEC examination, an annual review deadline, or a recently disclosed incident requiring documentation — we can prioritize the compliance assessment and program documentation on an accelerated schedule.

No long-term lock-ins. We offer month-to-month and annual agreements — your choice. Wealth management firms stay with Gradius because portfolio platforms run reliably, SEC and FINRA compliance programs are maintained without requiring advisors or CCOs to become cybersecurity specialists, and client data is protected at the level that HNW relationships and regulatory obligations demand. We earn the renewal every month through performance.
