Managed IT For Wealth Management And Financial Services Firms

Secure, responsive IT for wealth managers, investment advisers, and financial services firms. We protect client data, keep your team productive, and keep your systems ready for audits, regulators, and growth.

APRA CPS 230 & CPS 234 Aligned IT controls and documented evidence
Essential Eight & SMB1001 Practical cybersecurity frameworks implemented
Privacy Act & AUSTRAC Client data protection and reporting standards
ASIC & AFSL Ready Audit records and system documentation on hand
When IT Fails, Your Clients Pay The Price

We Make Sure They Don't.

These situations expose confidential client data, breach professional obligations, and create liability when regulators or insurers ask questions. You need IT that fits how your firm operates.

A Former Employee Still Has Access To Client Trust Accounts

Offboarding gaps leave ex-staff with active access to sensitive financial records. We manage access controls and offboarding so every account, device, and permission is closed the moment someone leaves.

Financial Records Scattered Across Email And Personal Drives

Client data spread across personal devices and uncontrolled cloud storage creates compliance risk and makes audits stressful. We centralise, secure, and govern records so your firm is always audit-ready.

An Adviser Can't Access Portfolio Documents In A Client Meeting

Systems that fail at the wrong moment damage client confidence and disrupt billable work. We design reliable, secure access for advisers whether they're in the office, working remotely, or at a client site.

Lodgement Deadlines Missed Because A System Crashes

Downtime during critical periods costs you professionally and financially. We provide proactive monitoring, tested backups, and fast incident response so your systems stay up when the pressure is highest.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about IT for Australian financial services firms, APRA compliance, cybersecurity, and working with regulated IT environments.

Do your systems meet APRA CPS 230 and CPS 234 requirements?

Yes. We structure identity management, access controls, change management, backup processes, and incident response to align with APRA requirements and provide documented evidence for audits. Our controls are designed to satisfy CPS 230 (operational risk management) and CPS 234 (information security) expectations for regulated financial services entities.

Can advisers work securely from anywhere?

Yes. We secure access for advisers and support staff working from the office, home, or client sites. Devices are encrypted, access is protected with multifactor authentication, and permissions are controlled so client data remains protected while your team can work efficiently wherever they are.

How do you support mergers and acquisitions in financial services?

We manage IT during mergers, acquisitions, and practice transitions by assessing both environments, planning secure data migration, consolidating CRMs and client platforms, and maintaining clear records of how client data is handled. This ensures continuity of service, compliance with ASIC and Privacy Act obligations, and minimal disruption to advisers and clients throughout the transition.

What cybersecurity standards do you implement?

We implement the Australian Essential Eight and the SMB1001 framework — including MFA, application hardening, patching, tested backups, access control, and ongoing monitoring. For financial services firms, this provides a clear and defensible security baseline that produces the evidence cyber insurers, APRA auditors, and regulators expect to see.

Do you work with smaller or solo advisory firms?

Our services are built for established wealth and financial services firms with 20 or more users. This allows us to properly support complex platforms, regulatory obligations, and the operational needs of larger advisory teams. If you're below this threshold, we can recommend the right path forward for your firm.

Where do you provide financial services IT support?

We support wealth management, investment, and financial services firms across Australia, with offices in Sydney (Northern Beaches), Melbourne, Brisbane, and Orange NSW. We provide consistent national coverage for firms operating at a single office or across multiple locations — backed by teams that understand regulated financial environments.
