Financial Services IT Support Dallas: FINRA, SEC & SOX Compliance
Financial services firms operate under intense regulatory scrutiny and face constant cybersecurity threats. Your IT infrastructure must support regulatory compliance (FINRA, SEC, SOX, PCI DSS), protect sensitive client financial data, enable trading platforms, maintain audit trails, and ensure business continuity during market volatility. A single system failure or data breach can result in regulatory fines, client lawsuits, and reputational damage that takes years to recover from.
Infonaligy delivers specialized IT services designed for Dallas financial institutions, investment firms, broker-dealers, RIAs, and fintech companies. We combine financial-grade infrastructure, regulatory expertise, and proactive security to keep your operations compliant, secure, and always-on.
FINRA Regulatory Compliance & Rules
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) establishes detailed technical and operational requirements for all broker-dealers and investment firms. FINRA Rule 4370, Rule 4512, and Rule 3110 mandate systems to capture, retain, and monitor all customer communications, email surveillance and archiving. Your IT infrastructure must support these rules without exception.
Infonaligy ensures FINRA compliance through email archiving and surveillance systems, chat and social media monitoring, trade communication documentation, business continuity and disaster recovery planning, access controls and segregation of duties, audit trails and system logs meeting FINRA examination standards, and regular compliance testing.
SEC Compliance & Trading Platform Support
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations require robust data security, record retention, insider trading controls, and market surveillance capabilities. Infonaligy provides trading platform infrastructure (Bloomberg, Reuters, and proprietary systems), order management and execution management system support, real-time market data feeds, low-latency trading environments with redundancy, insider trading walls enforced through network controls, and SEC-compliant record retention.
SOX & Financial Controls Compliance
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) Section 302 and 404 require IT systems to support internal controls over financial reporting. Infonaligy implements SOX-compliant IT controls including segregation of duties, change management workflows, user access provisioning procedures, complete audit logging, backup and disaster recovery testing, and IT governance documentation.
Data Encryption & Client Data Protection
Financial services firms handle sensitive PII, financial account numbers, and investment portfolios. Infonaligy protects sensitive financial data through comprehensive encryption at rest (AES-256), in transit (TLS 1.2+), end-to-end encryption for client portals, database encryption, disk and file-level encryption on laptops, key management controls, and encrypted backups.
Business Continuity & Trading Uptime
Financial markets operate 24/5. System downtime during trading hours directly impacts revenue. Infonaligy ensures maximum uptime through redundant infrastructure with automatic failover, multi-site disaster recovery, real-time data replication, trading floor network redundancy, daily backup testing, quarterly DR drills, and 24/7/365 monitoring.
Cybersecurity for Financial Institutions
Financial services firms are targeted by sophisticated cybercriminals. Infonaligy provides multilayered cybersecurity including advanced threat protection and endpoint detection and response (EDR), network segmentation, zero-trust network access, IDS/IPS, SIEM with 24/7 monitoring through our managed security services, incident response, phishing simulations and security awareness training, vulnerability management and penetration testing, and third-party vendor risk assessments.
PCI DSS Compliance for Payment Processing
If your firm processes credit card payments, you must comply with PCI DSS. Infonaligy ensures compliance through network architecture isolating card data, encrypted payment processing, vulnerability scanning, quarterly compliance audits, and secure data disposal.
