Firm Security

The operational backbone — visibility, control, and evidence across every domain.

24x7 SOC, incident response, the FCI Portal, and the coordination that makes every security control work as one integrated service.

The Problem

Your security officer's job is growing faster than any human can keep up with.

Growing Scope
The security officer's job spans six domains, multiple regulators, cyber insurance requirements, and home office audits. The documentation requirements alone can consume more time than the actual security work.
Manual Processes
Decommissioning a device, onboarding a user, producing audit evidence — tasks that should take minutes take hours or days without automation. Every manual step is a potential compliance gap.
No Central Visibility
Security data scattered across endpoint tools, cloud dashboards, network logs, and spreadsheets. No single place to see the firm's complete security posture.
Incident Response Gap
When a cyber event occurs, most firms discover their IT provider cannot perform forensic investigation, preserve evidence, or manage the regulatory notification process.
The FCI Portal

Where firm security becomes manageable — and the security officer becomes successful.

The FCI Portal delivers two things clients value most: it makes the job easier, and it trains security officers in the tasks regulation requires.

Enterprise Launch
An entire enterprise can be launched through the FCI Portal. Give FCI a list of local security officers → they get installers → everything builds automatically across the organization.
Device Lifecycle
Active, locked, destroyed, released, decommissioned. Full lifecycle managed through the FCI Portal with 90% reduction in decommissioning time. Accurate, up-to-date asset inventory.
Direct CISO Control
Instead of calling FCI support to lock a computer, the CISO has the authority to do it directly. See safeguard dashboards across all devices. The FCI Portal is a communication hub.
Security Assessment
Covering all six domains — more comprehensive than a penetration test alone. A structured evaluation of the firm's entire security posture.
Persistent Compliance

Ten steps that run every day — not just on audit day.

The persistent compliance engine verifies, enforces, and documents continuously.

Collecting
Verify all logs are flowing
Automation
Only automation, not manual
Visibility
Centralized visibility
Coverage
Extensive settings coverage
Settings
Set the settings right
Interference
Detect interference
Inconsistency
Built for auditing safeguards
Point-in-Time
Go back to any past date
Enforcement
Enforce settings consistency
Evidence
Continuous evidence generation
Incident Response

When a cyber event occurs, FCI is the team that has done this before.

Most firms discover during an incident that their IT provider cannot perform forensic investigation, preserve evidence, or manage regulatory notification.

Containment & Remediation
Isolate threats, eradicate compromise, restore systems
FBI & Law Enforcement
Coordinate with investigators and manage regulatory response
Forensic Documentation
Evidence preservation, timeline reconstruction, analysis

How FCI Is Different

The FCI Portal doesn't just make the job faster — it teaches the job.

Expert Mastery
FCI has managed cybersecurity through thousands of incidents, hundreds of regulatory examinations, and across 40,000+ endpoints. That experience feeds directly into how the FCI Portal works.
Automated Procedures
What takes weeks of manual effort is returned to the firm. The FCI Portal automates compliance management tasks. Evidence is a byproduct of operations, not a separate project.
Professional Development
Many security officers did not start as CISOs. The FCI Portal walks them through the regulatory tasks, builds competence through execution, and produces evidence that proves the work was done.
Persistent Proof
Every control enforced, every setting verified, every incident documented — continuously. Point-in-time audit capability lets the security officer go back to any date and demonstrate exactly what the firm's posture was.
Interconnection

Firm security is the domain that makes every other domain visible and provable.

Every domain feeds evidence into the FCI Portal. Without firm security, the other five domains operate in isolation.

Endpoint
Device status, compliance, lifecycle — all visible in the FCI Portal
User
Authentication events, user lifecycle, anomaly detection
Network
VPN status, firewall inventory, network logs
Data
Encryption status, DLP events, classification compliance
Cloud App
Settings posture, change control, monitoring alerts
The Principle
Firm security is the visibility layer. Without it, every other domain operates in isolation and evidence is scattered.
What You Can Prove

Evidence that builds itself — every day, not just on audit day.

Complete Inventory
Every device, every user, every application — accurate, up-to-date, with historical state
Control Enforcement
Documented proof that controls are deployed, maintained, and not drifted
Incident Documentation
Full forensic trail for every security event — containment, remediation, outcome
Compliance Timeline
Point-in-time audit capability — go back to any date, see the exact state
Decommissioning Records
90% faster, fully documented, NPI review confirmed before release
FCI Portal Access
24/7 real-time visibility for the security officer — no waiting, no intermediaries
