IT Support and Cybersecurity for Wealth Management Firms and Fiduciaries
Managed IT and cybersecurity for wealth managers, fiduciaries, and financial planners across the DMV region, built around your SEC obligations and fiduciary data protection requirements.
The standard of care your clients expect extends to your technology
Wealth managers and fiduciaries carry obligations that reach into every system handling client financial data. The SEC cybersecurity rule 2023, tightening cyber insurance requirements, and client expectations all demand a documented, enforced security programme.
Royer Networks works exclusively with small financial firms, meaning managed IT for fiduciaries and RIA technology support are built into every engagement from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does IT support for wealth management firms include?
Managed IT for wealth managers and fiduciaries covers day-to-day technology management, SEC cybersecurity rule 2023 compliance, annual risk assessments for wealth firms, fiduciary data protection, encrypted client communications, secure financial planning software management, cybersecurity for wealth managers, and business continuity planning. Everything is covered in a single predictable monthly fee.
What does the SEC cybersecurity rule 2023 require from wealth managers?
The SEC cybersecurity rule 2023 requires registered investment advisors and wealth managers to implement a cybersecurity risk management programme, adopt written policies and procedures, report significant cybersecurity incidents, and disclose cybersecurity risks to clients. It also requires annual risk assessments and documentation demonstrating that controls are in place and being maintained.
What are the fiduciary data protection requirements for wealth managers?
Fiduciary data protection requirements include implementing strong access controls, encrypting client financial data in transit and at rest, maintaining documented security policies, conducting regular risk assessments, and having an incident response plan ready. These obligations sit alongside SEC requirements and are reinforced by cyber insurance mandates that most wealth firms now face.

We also build and maintain the compliance documentation that demonstrates to the SEC and cyber insurers that these controls are active.
What is business continuity planning for wealth firms and why does it matter?
Business continuity planning for wealth firms involves tested recovery procedures, backup systems, and documented response plans that keep your firm operational if a cyberattack, system failure, or other disruption occurs. The SEC expects wealth managers and fiduciaries to have these plans in place, and cyber insurers increasingly require evidence of them.
