What IT support for financial services firms covers
Chrysalis Tech Group provides IT support for financial services firms in the Houston area, including wealth managers, independent advisers, lenders and insurance agencies. That means a 24/7 help desk, protection against wire fraud and spoofed email, encrypted client files and the technical safeguards that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Safeguards Rule, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) examinations or other applicable reviews may ask about, depending on your firm. Pricing is a flat monthly fee quoted on the agreed scope.
Who we support
Firms that hold client money, account numbers or financial records and answer to a regulator or an auditor.
Mortgage brokers, lenders and finance companies
Loan files carry Social Security numbers, income records and bank details, and the FTC Safeguards Rule spells out how they must be protected.
Insurance agencies
Agents quote and service policies from the office and the road, often through carrier portals that each need secure logins.
Operations and compliance leads
You answer the security questionnaire, the audit request and the vendor review. You want a partner who keeps the logs and reports instead of handing you more homework.
Vulnerabilities threatening financial firms
Protecting client trust, proprietary financial data and staff productivity from modern operational threats.
Client confidentiality breaches
Financial advisory practices, lenders and insurance agencies are primary targets for wire fraud, business email compromise (BEC) and targeted ransomware.
Regulatory non-compliance
Failing to adhere to Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), SEC or FTC Safeguards Rule requirements risks severe regulatory fines, litigation and license revocation.
Downtime while clients wait
Slow document management systems, remote access lag and network outages directly erode revenue and client satisfaction.
Enterprise IT architecture for financial services
High-security infrastructure designed for partner productivity and your firm’s compliance and regulatory readiness.
Zero-trust data protection and multi-factor authentication
Bank-grade encryption for client files, enforced multi-factor authentication (MFA), advanced email threat filtering and device-level data loss prevention (DLP) controls.
Secure remote work and virtual desktops
Encrypted cloud workspaces built on virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) let advisers, loan officers and operations staff reach client systems securely from any device.
Compliance management and audit support
Automated policy enforcement, log archival and executive reporting designed to support the FTC Safeguards Rule, SEC and FINRA examination requirements that apply to your firm.
Backup and hurricane-season continuity
Backups of client records and core systems, with client servers housed at Fibertown, a data center rated for up to a Category 5 hurricane, so the firm has a written plan before a Gulf Coast storm arrives.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about IT, security and compliance for financial firms.
How do you help firms comply with the updated FTC Safeguards Rule?
We implement the technical safeguards the rule calls for, including multi-factor authentication, end-to-end data encryption, continuous log monitoring, role-based access control and a written incident response plan. That work supports your organization’s compliance and regulatory readiness; your firm stays responsible for its information security program.
Does the FTC Safeguards Rule apply to my firm?
It covers many financial businesses that are not banks, such as mortgage brokers, non-bank lenders and tax preparers. Firms registered with the SEC answer to the SEC’s own rule, Regulation S-P. Your compliance counsel decides which rules apply; Chrysalis builds and documents the technical controls they call for.
How do you reduce the risk of wire fraud and phishing against our firm?
We deploy email security filters powered by artificial intelligence (AI) that detect spoofing and unauthorized wire requests, combined with domain protection through Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC), DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) and Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records, plus automated phishing awareness training for all employees.
Can you work with our compliance consultant or auditor?
Yes. We pull the technical evidence they ask for, such as access lists, multi-factor authentication status, backup reports and log exports, and we join the call when a question gets technical.
Can you support the software our firm already runs?
Yes. We support leading industry software platforms including QuickBooks, Thomson Reuters and Wolters Kluwer, acting as your direct liaison with software vendors.
How is IT support for a financial services firm priced?
As a flat monthly fee. Plans start at $125 per user per month with Chrysalis Essential, and the final figure depends on the agreed scope: headcount, devices, offices and the security and reporting your regulators expect. Your proposal lists what the plan covers, and a scoping call and a complimentary risk assessment come first.
