Overview

Capital Investment Partners is a registered investment advisory firm managing over $500M in client assets. As regulatory requirements tightened and client due diligence requests increased, the firm needed to demonstrate robust security practices through formal compliance certification.

The Challenge

The firm had grown organically with security practices added ad-hoc over time. There was no unified security framework, limited documentation, and gaps in coverage that created both regulatory and reputational risk.

  • !No formal security framework or compliance certification
  • !Inconsistent access controls and password policies
  • !Limited visibility into security posture and threats
  • !Losing potential clients who required SOC 2 attestation

Our Solution

We conducted a comprehensive security assessment and implemented a complete security transformation aligned with SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria. The project covered people, processes, and technology across the entire organization.
