Built Around How Advisory Firms Actually Work

Advisory firms depend on secure access to client communications, custodial and portfolio platforms, CRM and document systems, Microsoft 365, cloud applications, and distributed employees. Entice manages the technology surrounding those workflows without treating the firm like a generic small business.

RIAs and Wealth Managers

Manage Microsoft 365, advisor workstations, identities, client-information access, remote work, and the approved third-party applications employees rely on every day.

Hybrid Advisory Organizations

Coordinate technical controls, access, continuity, vendor dependencies, and supporting records across advisory operations and broker-dealer relationships—without implying that Entice manages systems controlled by the broker-dealer.

Distributed and Growing Firms

Standardize users, devices, applications, access, support, onboarding, and offboarding across remote employees, branch offices, acquisitions, and advisor transitions.

Beyond the Help Desk

A Closed Ticket Is Not Proof the Control Worked.

A written policy does not disable a former employee, investigate a suspicious sign-in, protect an advisor’s device, test a restore, or document what happened after an incident. Entice connects the written program to the environment your firm actually operates—people, identities, devices, Microsoft 365, applications, approved vendors, data, backups, and recovery procedures.

01

Know the Environment

Inventory users, devices, applications, data locations, approved vendors, offices, and critical workflows. Assign operational ownership and prioritize observed technology risks.

Leadership gains: A current environment baseline, clearer ownership, and a prioritized technology-risk and remediation register.

02

Reduce the Attack Paths

Configure and maintain the agreed Microsoft 365, identity, endpoint, administrative-access, email, remote-access, patching, encryption, and backup baseline.

Leadership gains: A documented security baseline, visible exceptions, and clearer remediation priorities.

03

Detect and Contain

Monitor covered identity and endpoint activity, triage alerts, follow documented escalation procedures, support authorized containment, and retain available logs and technical records.

Leadership gains: Clearer incident records, escalation visibility, and technical information for authorized decision-makers.

04

Recover the Business

Document critical systems and dependencies, monitor covered backups, test restores, maintain recovery procedures, and identify unresolved continuity risks.

Leadership gains: Restore-test results, documented recovery responsibilities, and practical improvement priorities.

05

Show the Work

Maintain assigned access reviews, control-status records, exceptions, technical remediation items, and the ongoing technology roadmap.

Leadership gains: Better executive reporting, organized technical records, and a clearer view of what comes next.

Specific activities, coverage, records, and deliverables depend on the agreed service scope and the firm’s operational requirements.

Financial-Firm Cybersecurity

The Risk Is Bigger Than Malware.

A compromised identity can expose client information, trigger fraudulent instructions, disrupt critical applications, and damage trust long before anyone discovers malware on a computer. Financial-firm security has to address the entire operating environment.

Identity Compromise and Fraudulent Instructions

Compromised accounts can be used to impersonate advisors, clients, executives, or vendors. Entice combines identity, email, endpoint, and access safeguards with documented escalation. Firms should pair technical controls with a secondary-channel verification procedure for payment or account-change instructions.

Client Information Across the Cloud

Client information moves through Microsoft 365, portals, approved applications, devices, email, and external sharing. Access, sharing, encryption, retention, and disposal controls should reflect requirements approved by firm leadership and its advisers.

Critical Vendors and Applications

Custodial, portfolio-management, CRM, archiving, communications, and other platforms can create operational dependencies. Entice documents the technical relationships, coordinates technical escalation with approved vendors, and keeps ownership and next actions visible.

AI and Unapproved Technology

Client information should not disappear into unapproved AI tools or unmanaged applications. Entice can help establish approved technology pathways, access permissions, and technical safeguards based on the firm’s policies and agreed service scope.

Compliance-Readiness Technology Support

The Technology Work Behind Amended Regulation S-P

For SEC-registered investment advisers and other covered institutions, where applicable, amended Regulation S-P connects written requirements to ongoing operations involving customer-information safeguards, incident response, service-provider oversight, assigned records, and customer-notification procedures.

Entice works alongside the firm’s chief compliance officer, leadership team, legal counsel, compliance consultant, cyber-insurance provider, and authorized assessors. We implement and operate agreed technology controls, address assigned technical gaps, maintain supporting technical records, and respond to authorized technical information requests.

  • Agreed identity, device, email, access, and customer-information safeguards

  • Initial technical triage, escalation, and authorized containment support

  • Technical inventories and dependencies involving approved service providers

  • Configuration, access-review, incident, backup-test, and other assigned control records

  • Recovery procedures and testing for systems included in the agreed scope

The firm and its legal or compliance advisers determine applicability, materiality, regulatory obligations, customer or regulator notifications, and legal conclusions. Entice does not provide legal advice, perform independent audits, certify compliance, or guarantee a regulatory or assessment outcome. Specialist forensics and breach counsel are coordinated separately when required.

Clear Responsibility

Responsibility Should Be Clear Before Something Goes Wrong.

Responsibility Should Be Clear Before Something Goes Wrong.

The middle of an incident is the wrong time to debate ownership. Responsibilities should be documented during onboarding and revisited as the firm, technology environment, vendors, and service scope change.

Operational Visibility

Leadership Should See More Than a Ticket Count.

Advisors need responsive support. Leadership also needs operating records that make ownership, risk, recovery readiness, and progress visible.

Environment Visibility

A current map of in-scope users, devices, applications, data locations, approved vendors, and critical dependencies.

Responsibility and Priorities

A responsibility matrix and prioritized technology-risk and remediation register.

Security Baseline

Documented configurations, identified exceptions, and assigned remediation priorities.

Incident and Escalation Records

Available technical records showing the issue, response, current owner, escalation path, and next action.

Recovery Readiness

Backup visibility, restore-test results, recovery procedures, and documented improvement items for covered systems.

Executive Reporting and Roadmap

Periodic reporting that connects technology condition, unresolved risks, ownership, progress, and upcoming priorities.

The exact reporting, records, cadence, and deliverables are defined in the applicable service agreement.

A Controlled Transition

Change IT Providers Without Losing Visibility or Control.

Change IT Providers Without Losing Visibility or Control.

Entice maps the environment, secures critical access, preserves operational continuity, and phases improvements so the MSP transition does not become its own technology risk.

Step 1

Map

Confirm users, systems, client-data locations, applications, approved vendors, current providers, critical workflows, credentials, and escalation contacts.

Step 2

Stabilize

Secure privileged access, remove obsolete accounts, establish management visibility, verify covered backup status, and document immediate risks.

Secure privileged access, remove obsolete accounts, establish management visibility, verify covered backup status, and document immediate risks.

Step 3

Standardize

Implement the agreed baseline, assign responsibilities, organize technical records, and phase approved remediation around business priorities.

Step 4

Operate

Test recovery and escalation procedures, establish the reporting cadence, support employees, coordinate approved vendors, and begin ongoing managed operations.

The objective is not change for its own sake. It is a controlled transition with clearer ownership, fewer unknowns, and a practical path forward.
