Close the gap between your security policies and the proof the examiner wants.
The FCI Portal extends cybersecurity controls from home office policy into every branch, every agency, every advisor device — with real-time visibility, direct CISO control, and evidence the examiner, the home office, and the cyber insurer already recognize. Whether the security officer is running an established program or growing into a new role, the FCI Portal makes the job doable, measurable, and defensible.
Most firms are managing compliance the hard way.
How many hours does your security officer spend each month pulling device data, building reports, and preparing evidence that should already exist?
Regulators are raising the bar. The SEC, FINRA, NYDFS, and NAIC now expect documented, demonstrable controls — not just policies on paper. At the same time, the reality of financial services is distributed: remote advisors, independent offices, personal devices, and IT teams stretched across multiple responsibilities.
The result is a compliance picture that lives in spreadsheets, email threads, and disconnected monitoring tools. Security officers spend hours pulling data together. Critical issues surface late. And when an examiner arrives, the scramble begins.
Device inventory, decommissioning, and compliance reporting require hours of manual data collection across multiple systems every month.
Issues that need immediate action — lost devices, unpatched endpoints, inactive users — often surface days or weeks after they occur.
Examiners now expect evidence of controls, not just assurances. Firms without documented audit trails face significantly higher risk during reviews.
Most IT monitoring platforms were built for internal IT teams, not for compliance officers who need to report, act, and demonstrate accountability.
Built for the CISO the firm has.
Does your security officer run an established cybersecurity program — or lead it from a branch or agency office?
The CISO's job looks different depending on where they sit. The FCI Portal is built to meet both.
For the home office CISO. Your security program already exists. The challenge isn't learning the job — it is extending visibility and enforcement into every branch, every agency, every advisor device your team cannot physically see. The FCI Portal becomes the operational reach of your program: real-time status across the full network, direct control over any device, and evidence the home office audit, the regulator, and the cyber insurer will accept.
For the security officer at the branch or agency. The role may be new or inherited. The regulatory tasks don't wait. The FCI Portal walks through those tasks one at a time, evidences completion, and builds competence through execution.
"What they like most about the FCI Portal is that it helps them to be successful at becoming a CISO."
— Brian Edelman, Founder & CEO, FCI
What the FCI Portal enables for your firm.
Can your compliance team see the enforcement status of every device in your network right now — or would they need to ask IT to build a report?
The FCI Portal presents your compliance posture as a prioritized view: high-risk issues at the top, informational items below. Every alert includes a plain-language explanation of what it monitors, why it matters, and what the potential business impact is — accommodating security officers at any level of technical expertise.
Intelligent filtering removes noise automatically. Devices inactive for more than six months, or newly enrolled devices still completing setup, can be excluded from your compliance percentage — so the number you see reflects your actual, actionable posture. For most enterprise environments, this brings compliance scores into the 98–100% range for the devices that matter.
All compliance data maps to NIST CSF controls, giving you a framework your examiners already recognize.
When a device has compliance issues, the FCI Portal shows all of them together — not spread across separate alert pages. Hardware specifications, operating system details, network information, and endpoint protection status from Sophos are visible in one place, alongside every open compliance item for that asset.
Search and filter across your entire device fleet by username, device name, or any technical attribute. Export customized reports with configurable columns, CPU thresholds, or Windows upgrade readiness data — built for the reporting your team actually needs to produce.
Decommissioning a device is one of the most time-consuming compliance workflows in most firms — pulling serial numbers, updating spreadsheets, filing tickets, removing software licenses. The FCI Portal automates it entirely. Serial numbers and device details populate automatically; your security officer selects a status, adds a note, and the device is immediately removed from compliance alerts and active device counts.
The audit trail is permanent. Every decommissioning action is recorded with a timestamp, the responsible user, and full notes — available for regulatory review indefinitely. For BYOD scenarios, the workflow simultaneously removes Tamper Protection and abandons Sophos policies, enabling the advisor to uninstall security software cleanly.
When an advisor loses a laptop on a Friday evening, your security officer no longer needs to wait for an emergency support call to FCI. The FCI Portal provides direct access to BitLocker recovery keys, with every access event logged automatically — who accessed the key, when, and why. Lost or stolen devices can be locked remotely on both Mac and Windows platforms immediately. When a device is recovered, the unlock key is provided within the FCI Portal. Home-office CISOs get the same direct control across every branch, every agency, every advisor device in the network — without routing through regional IT tickets.
Every action taken — key access, device lock, status change — is automatically logged as a system-generated entry in the device's activity history. Your team has a complete, tamper-evident record of every decision made.
No two firms are identical. The FCI Portal allows your team to tune alert relevance — hiding compliance items that don't apply to your environment, adjusting patch timeframes from 30 to 90 days, and modifying inactive device thresholds based on your operational patterns. For firms using CrowdStrike or other non-Sophos security solutions, alert parameters can be customized to reflect your actual tooling.
The FCI Portal supports multi-team environments with collaborative note-taking across IT, security, and compliance personnel. Context is preserved in one place, reducing the back-and-forth that typically slows incident resolution.
The program enforced. The proof assembled. The CISO empowered.
What would your team do with 80% of the time they currently spend on recurring compliance tasks?
The FCI Portal doesn't replace your firm's cybersecurity responsibilities. The firm owns the program. The FCI Portal makes that program enforceable to every device it applies to, and assembles the evidence of enforcement continuously — so the home office CISO sees the reach of the program, the sales-office security officer executes the tasks the program requires, and both produce the documentation the examiner accepts.
Evidence that meets modern examiner expectations.
If an examiner asked for your audit trail right now, would you have a permanent, timestamped record of every compliance decision your firm has made?
Regulators are no longer satisfied with policies and attestations alone. SEC, FINRA, NYDFS, and NAIC examiners increasingly expect documented evidence of implemented controls — audit logs, incident timelines, and demonstrable remediation workflows. The FCI Portal provides exactly that: a permanent, structured record of every compliance decision your firm makes.
Controls map to NIST CSF categories, providing a framework examiners already understand. The FCI Portal supports both audit-only clients who need to demonstrate monitoring and reporting, and enforcement clients who require active response capabilities.
Built for financial services. Focused on field compliance.
FCI has spent 30 years as a managed cybersecurity provider exclusively serving financial services firms. Our focus is field compliance — the specific challenge of protecting distributed workforces, BYOD environments, and independent field offices that generic enterprise security tools were not designed to address.
With more than 40,000 endpoints under management, SOC 2 Type 1 certification, and a 100% SecurityScorecard rating, FCI provides the infrastructure, expertise, and tooling that financial firms need to operate securely and demonstrate compliance continuously.
We build a demonstration using realistic data that reflects your firm's profile — showing exactly how the FCI Portal would look and perform for your team from day one.
