Wealth Management Virtual CISO for RIAs Who Put Clients First

Your clients trust you with their life savings. Our virtual CISO for RIAs helps you protect that trust with cybersecurity services that actually work.

You Built Your Firm on Trust. 
Don't Let Poor Security Break It.

Every day, you make decisions that affect generations of wealth. You've earned your clients' confidence through years of careful work. But here's the thing: one data breach can destroy decades of trust in minutes.

The good news? Protecting client data doesn't require becoming a security expert. It requires working with security experts who understand your business.

We Do The Security Work. 
You Do The Wealth Work.

Other vCISO for wealth management firms hand you a report and say "good luck." 

Our wealth management virtual CISO service actually implements and manages your security program:
Security tools that run themselves - We deploy and manage the monitoring, scanning, and protection tools you need
24/7 threat detection - We watch your systems so you don't have to
Policies that make sense - Clear, practical documentation that satisfies regulators without overwhelming your team
Hands-on help from real humans when you need it - Quick answers to security questions, no ticket systems or call centers

Why Your IT Company Can't (And Shouldn't) Manage Your Security

Your IT provider keeps your computers running. That's their job and they're (hopefully) very good at it.

But asking them to also handle security is like asking your child to grade their own exams.  It's the fox watching the henhouse.  

There's a reason financial firms separate duties - because oversight requires independence.

When the same company provides IT services AND security monitoring, who's checking their work? What happens when their mistake becomes your breach?  Sadly, this is EXACTLY how all of the breaches we've seen happened.  

Smart firms keep these roles separate. Your IT company handles technology. We handle security. Everyone stays accountable.

"Working with Adelia Risk provides peace of mind. I sleep better at night knowing that our client data is being protected. Josh and his team are responsive, highly knowledgeable and helpful. They take complicated topics and make them understandable. We love working with Adelia Risk!"

Stacey Sternberg
Parsons Capital Management

5-star-review
"Like most investment advisors, I wanted to worry less and prepare for our next audit. Other vendors offered confusing "one size fits all" solutions. Since working with Adelia, we've built a policy that we understand and can achieve! We passed our most recent audit with flying colors."

Charlie Jackson
Jackson Money Management

5-star-review
"Before we hired Adelia, I thought our IT people (me) had the cybersecurity thing covered. 'We' were wrong. Josh and his team helped us find the gaps, close the gaps and document everything so we're as buttoned up as we need to be for our clients and the SEC."

Our Wealth Management Virtual CISO
Program Strategy

Yes, We Handle RIA Compliance Too

Our cybersecurity consulting for RIAs knows SEC and FINRA requirements inside and out. Every registered investment advisor we work with has passed their audits. But compliance is just the minimum - real wealth management cybersecurity goes further.

We'll help you understand:
What regulators actually care about (vs. checkbox nonsense)
Which requirements matter for firms your size
How to explain your security program confidently
Where to invest effort vs. tips and tricks to keep it simple

Maybe you need more from a Virtual CISO?
This isn't a one-size-fits-all deal.

Some Virtual CISOs will offer the same program to everyone. And sometimes, that program is overkill. 

We don't do that. 

We'll help you decide if and when any of these additional solutions are needed, and quotes will be provided as required:
  • Phishing tests
  • Employee security training
  • Vulnerability scanning
  • Tabletop exercises
  • Penetration testing
  • 24x7 computer monitoring
  • 24x7 cloud monitoring
  • 24x7 firewall monitoring
  • Audit support
  • Other state and federal regulations
  • Deep technical audits of your cloud systems
  • Ongoing project management
  • Dark web monitoring
  • Hacker database monitoring
  • Custom training
  • Fully transparent secure email
  • Disaster recovery test planning
  • Firewall security reviews
  • Website security reviews and monitoring
  • Answering client security questions

Common Questions

"How technical do you get?"
As technical as needed. Some clients need basic policy help. Others want fully managed security operations. Most are somewhere between. We match what you need.

"What makes your wealth management virtual CISO different?"
We implement, not just advise. While other cybersecurity services for investment advisors write reports, we're setting up your security tools, monitoring your systems, and handling the technical work.  We're in it with you, not just showing up once a year with a 200-page report.

"Do we need all those enterprise tools?"
Maybe not. We'll assess what you actually need based on your size, clients, and regulatory requirements. No overselling.  And we can also advise you if you decide to buy your own tools.

"How do you work with our IT company?"
We partner with them but maintain independence. They handle IT operations. We handle security oversight. Clear separation, better protection.  If the IT company is good, it's a great relationship. If they're not, we can guide on you on where to go next.
