Financial Services Firm Strengthens Security Posture
How Capital Investment Partners achieved SOC 2 compliance and maintained zero security incidents through comprehensive security transformation.
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
