IT Consulting FAQs for Raymond James Financial Professionals
Explore our FAQ section below to learn how our IT consulting services can enhance your technological capabilities. We’re here to optimize your IT infrastructure for improved efficiency and security. If you have questions or need personalized advice, feel free to reach out. We’re dedicated to providing tailored IT solutions to support the unique needs of financial planning professionals.
Financial professionals handle highly sensitive client data, personal information, account details, investment documents, and access credentials. This makes advisors and RIAs prime targets for cyberattacks. Strong cybersecurity is essential not only for protecting clients but also for meeting industry regulations, avoiding financial loss, and maintaining trust.
Financial professionals must follow security expectations from organizations like the SEC, FINRA, and often their affiliated broker-dealer (such as Raymond James). Requirements usually include MFA, secure email, endpoint protection, regular risk assessments, documented policies, and ongoing monitoring.
Regulators expect advisors to implement safeguards that protect client data and reduce operational risk. Inadequate cybersecurity can lead to audit failures, fines, regulatory issues, and reputational damage. A managed cybersecurity partner like Guardian IT helps financial firms stay audit-ready and fully compliant.
Advisors frequently face phishing attacks, credential theft, ransomware, wire fraud attempts, email compromise, and social engineering scams. Many attacks specifically impersonate clients or internal staff to trick advisors into sending money or revealing access credentials.
