Industry Challenges

Financial Firms Face Relentless Cyber Threats

Handling money and sensitive financial data makes your firm a prime target for sophisticated attacks.

Regulatory Burden

PCI-DSS, SEC, FINRA, SOX, and state regulations each impose specific IT security requirements. Falling out of compliance means fines and lost clients.

Wire Fraud Attacks

Business email compromise targeting financial transactions is the fastest-growing cyber threat. One fraudulent wire transfer can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Client Data Theft

Social Security numbers, account details, and tax records are high-value targets on the dark web. A breach destroys client trust permanently.

Audit Readiness

Regulators and auditors expect documented controls, current logs, and evidence of ongoing security practices. Scrambling before an audit signals deeper problems.

FAQ

Financial Services IT Questions

How does PCG help financial firms achieve PCI-DSS compliance?

We implement the full scope of PCI-DSS technical requirements including network segmentation, encryption of cardholder data, access controls, vulnerability scanning, and logging. We also prepare your documentation for QSA audits and conduct quarterly internal scans to maintain continuous compliance.

Can PCG support SEC and FINRA cybersecurity requirements?

Yes. We design IT infrastructure that meets SEC Regulation S-P, FINRA Rule 4370 (business continuity), and the SEC cybersecurity risk management rules. This includes encrypted communications, supervised archiving of electronic correspondence, and incident response planning aligned with regulatory notification timelines.

How do you protect against wire fraud and business email compromise?

We deploy advanced email security with AI-powered impersonation detection, DMARC/DKIM/SPF enforcement, and conditional access policies. For firms handling wire transfers, we implement out-of-band verification workflows and train staff to recognize social engineering tactics targeting financial transactions.

What kind of audit support does PCG provide?

We maintain audit-ready documentation including network diagrams, access control logs, change management records, vulnerability scan reports, and incident response histories. When auditors arrive, your compliance evidence is organized and current rather than scrambled together at the last minute.

Does PCG offer encrypted communication solutions for financial advisors?

Yes. We deploy encrypted email, secure messaging platforms, and compliant video conferencing tools that meet regulatory archiving requirements. All communications can be captured, retained, and produced for regulatory review when required.
