Common Pain Points

The IT Challenges You Face

These are the real problems digiWEST solves for your industry — not generic IT, but solutions built around how you actually work.

Regulatory and Compliance Pressure

Financial firms face SEC, FINRA, PCI-DSS, and state-level compliance requirements that directly mandate IT controls. Most SMB financial practices lack the internal expertise to translate those requirements into actual technical policy — that’s where we come in.

High-Value Ransomware Targets

Financial firms are among the most-targeted sectors for ransomware. Access to client financial data, wire transfer systems, and investment accounts makes your firm a premium target. A single attack can trigger regulatory investigations, client notification requirements, and significant financial liability.

Wire Fraud and Business Email Compromise

Business email compromise (BEC) attacks on financial firms average over $100,000 per incident. Attackers impersonate executives or clients to trigger fraudulent wire transfers. Without email authentication (DMARC/DKIM/SPF) and user training, the door is wide open.

Secure Client Portal and Document Access

Clients expect easy, secure online access to their documents, statements, and communication. Consumer file-sharing tools (Dropbox, Google Drive) don’t meet financial data security standards. We set up compliant, firm-branded client portals that satisfy both usability and security requirements.

Remote Advisor and Staff Access

Advisors working from home, client meetings, or remote offices need fast, secure access to CRM and portfolio management systems. Consumer VPNs and unmanaged devices create security and compliance gaps. We deploy enterprise-grade remote access with device management built in.

Aging IT Without a Lifecycle Plan

Workstations running Windows 10 past end-of-life, email servers that haven’t been patched in years, no written IT security policy — all of these create both operational and regulatory risk. Our vCIO service gives you a documented plan and keeps your firm current.
