Frequently asked questions
What organizations should know before getting started.
What did the 2024 Regulation S-P amendments change?
The SEC's amendments require covered institutions, including registered investment advisers and broker-dealers, to adopt an incident response program, oversee service providers, and generally notify affected individuals within 30 days of discovering that sensitive customer information was, or is reasonably likely to have been, accessed or used without authorization. Larger entities had a December 2025 compliance date; smaller entities have until June 2026. Confirm your obligations with compliance counsel.
Can you help us prepare for an SEC or state exam?
We help implement technical safeguards and organize evidence such as asset inventories, access reviews, MFA coverage, backup tests, and training records. Your compliance officer and counsel own the regulatory response.
Do you work with our custodian and CRM?
Yes. We secure the devices and identities used to reach custodian portals, CRMs, and planning tools, and coordinate with those vendors when issues cross into their platforms.
Do Massachusetts rules apply too?
Firms that hold personal information about Massachusetts residents are also subject to 201 CMR 17.00, which requires a written information security program.
