Comply With SEC Regulation S-P Before the June 3rd Deadline

The Only Predictive Cybersecurity / Compliance Platform Designed Specifically for RIA's — All On One Dashboard

Protect Your Data and Shield Your Firm From Vulnerabilities and From Regulatory Scrutiny

SEC Regulation S-P
Compliance for Registered Investment Advisers

The amended Reg S-P requires operational evidence of cybersecurity controls — not documentation, not insurance riders, not annual consultant reports. CYFAX produces that evidence continuously as a byproduct of actually protecting your firm.

What Is SEC Regulation S-P?

SEC Regulation S-P (17 CFR Part 248) requires registered investment advisers, broker-dealers, and investment companies to adopt written policies and procedures for protecting customer records and information. Originally adopted in 2000 under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the regulation was significantly strengthened by the 2023 amendments that introduced mandatory incident response programs, individual breach notification requirements, and vendor oversight obligations.

The compliance deadline for the amended requirements is June 3, 2026. After this date, SEC examination staff will evaluate firms against the full amended requirements. Firms that cannot produce documented evidence of compliance face enforcement actions including fines of up to $2.5 million per incident.

Every RIA Must Meet These

01
Written Incident Response Programs
Firms must develop, implement, and maintain written procedures for detecting, responding to, and recovering from unauthorized access to customer information. A designated qualified individual must oversee the program.
CYFAX builds these policies for you and validates them automatically.
02
30-Day Individual Notification
When unauthorized access to customer information occurs or is reasonably likely to have occurred, firms must notify each affected individual within 30 days, describing the incident, information involved, and firm contact.
CYFAX detects breaches and triggers notification workflows before the clock starts.
03
72-Hour Vendor Breach Notification
Service providers that experience a breach involving customer information must notify the covered institution within 72 hours. Firms must ensure vendor contracts include notification clauses and maintain ongoing vendor oversight.
CYFAX TPRM monitors every vendor in your supply chain continuously.

Three Assumptions That Leave Firms Exposed

Many RIAs believe they are compliant because they have one or more of the following. None of these satisfy the amended Reg S-P requirements on their own.

✗ Cyber Insurance Is Not Compliance
A cyber insurance policy — regardless of cost — does not satisfy a single Reg S-P requirement. The SEC does not ask "do you have a cyber policy?" They ask for documented incident response procedures, monitoring evidence, access controls, and vendor oversight documentation. Insurance transfers financial risk after a breach. Reg S-P requires you to prevent and detect breaches, and prove that you can.
✗ External-Only Scanning Misses 90% of What Examiners Ask For
Services that scan your domain from the outside and produce an aggregate risk score are measuring external hygiene only. They do not test internal security controls, validate backup configurations, check endpoint protection status, or verify that your incident response plan meets regulatory standards. An external score of 84 out of 100 means nothing to an examiner requesting evidence of continuous monitoring and control validation.
✗ Annual Consultancy Engagements Are Point-in-Time Artifacts
A virtual CISO engagement that produces policies and conducts an annual review gives you a snapshot — not continuous compliance. The amended Reg S-P requirements emphasize ongoing detection, continuous monitoring, and the ability to produce evidence on demand. A report from six months ago does not demonstrate that your controls are working today. This model typically costs $60,000 to $180,000 annually, with penetration tests billed separately at $8,000 to $15,000 each.

Give us a domain. In 60 minutes, here's what your firm sees — with zero access to your network.

🔑
Leaked Credentials
Employee usernames and passwords already for sale on dark web marketplaces and stealer log ecosystems. Most firms have no idea.
🌐
Exposed Infrastructure
Open ports, misconfigured services, expired SSL certificates, DNS vulnerabilities — everything visible from the outside.
🎯
Dark Web Mentions
Active chatter about your firm on criminal forums, Telegram channels, and underground marketplaces. Threat actors discussing you as a target.
👁️
Vendor Risk Scores
Every third-party vendor scored for cyber risk. Reg S-P requires firms to assess vendors — CYFAX does it automatically and continuously.
📧
Email Security Gaps
SPF, DKIM, DMARC misconfigurations that enable spoofing and phishing attacks impersonating your firm to clients.
📊
Risk Score (0–100)
A single composite score — like a FICO score for cyber risk. Higher = better. The number that makes the conversation with a client real.

You Need These 5 Questions Answered

If the SEC examines you next month, can you answer all five? CYFAX produces the evidence for each — continuously, not at point-in-time.

01
Can you produce a Reg S-P compliant written information security policy?
CYFAX auto-generates and continuously validates your WISP against current regulatory language.
02
Can you produce a written incident response and notification plan?
Documented procedures with tested playbooks — not a template. Continuously updated.
03
Which vendors in your supply chain have access to customer data, and how are they monitored?
CYFAX TPRM monitors every vendor continuously with real-time risk scoring.
04
What documents your employee security awareness training program?
Automated tracking, completion records, and evidence of ongoing training cadence.
05
If the SEC examines you next month, can you produce continuous monitoring evidence on demand?
One click. Audit-ready evidence package — not a report from six months ago.

SEC Regulation S-P — Everything RIAs Need to Know

SEC Regulation S-P (17 CFR Part 248) requires registered investment advisers, broker-dealers, and investment companies to adopt written policies and procedures for protecting customer records and information. The 2023 amendments significantly strengthened these requirements.
The compliance deadline for the amended requirements is June 3, 2026. After this date, SEC examination staff will evaluate firms against the full amended requirements.
The 2023 amendments introduced mandatory incident response programs, 30-day individual breach notification requirements, 72-hour vendor breach notification requirements, and ongoing vendor oversight obligations. These represent the most significant changes to Reg S-P since its adoption in 2000.
No. Cyber insurance does not satisfy any Reg S-P requirement. Insurance transfers financial risk after a breach. Reg S-P requires you to prevent and detect breaches, implement documented procedures, and continuously monitor your environment — then prove you are doing all of it.
Firms that cannot produce documented evidence of compliance face SEC enforcement actions including fines of up to $2.5 million per incident. Beyond financial penalties, enforcement actions create significant reputational risk with clients and prospective clients.
Examiners request evidence of continuous monitoring, documented procedures, control testing results, vendor oversight records, and the ability to produce audit-ready documentation on demand. A report from six months ago does not satisfy "continuous monitoring" requirements. Firms that can demonstrate ongoing, automated evidence generation consistently outperform those relying on periodic assessments.
Firms must ensure that service providers with access to customer data are monitored for cybersecurity risk on an ongoing basis, that vendor contracts include 72-hour breach notification clauses, and that firms can demonstrate active oversight of their entire vendor supply chain — not just an annual review.
