Managed IT for Financial Services in Dallas

Protect client information, strengthen operational resilience, and support FINRA, SEC, SOX, and entity-specific technology obligations.

Financial Services IT and Cybersecurity

Identity and Access Governance

Infonaligy helps improve MFA, role-based access, privileged accounts, onboarding and offboarding, segregation of duties, conditional access, remote connectivity, and periodic access reviews.

Electronic Communications and Recordkeeping Support

We support the infrastructure and governance behind email, messaging, Microsoft 365, approved communications, retention, archiving, search, legal hold, audit trails, and record integrity.

Technology should help the firm capture required business communications, restrict unapproved channels, preserve records for applicable periods, and retrieve evidence efficiently.

Regulation S-P and Incident Response

Amended Regulation S-P requires covered institutions to maintain written incident-response policies and procedures for unauthorized access to or use of customer information.

Infonaligy helps support:

  • Monitoring and escalation.
  • Incident triage and technical investigation.
  • Containment and recovery.
  • Service-provider coordination.
  • Evidence preservation.
  • Affected-data analysis.
  • Notification-process readiness.
  • Post-incident remediation.

Legal and compliance leaders should direct regulatory determinations and customer notifications.

Managed Security, SIEM, and SOC Monitoring

Financial firms can combine managed security services with SIEM and a 24/7 SOC. Centralized visibility helps identify credential misuse, suspicious access, endpoint threats, configuration changes, data movement, and other events requiring investigation.

Business Continuity and Recovery

Infonaligy helps connect FINRA business continuity planning and operational resilience with:

  • Critical-system and vendor dependencies.
  • Recovery Time Objectives and Recovery Point Objectives.
  • Backup protection and restoration testing.
  • Alternate-access and communication procedures.
  • Infrastructure redundancy.
  • Incident and disaster-recovery documentation.
  • Tabletop and technical validation.

SOX-Relevant IT Controls

For organizations subject to SOX, technology may support internal control over financial reporting through user access, change management, segregation of duties, logging, system interfaces, backup, and evidence retention.
