Solutions
What We Put In Place
The goal is not more tools for their own sake. The goal is fewer preventable disruptions, clearer accountability, and evidence your business can use.
01
Identity and access management
Centralized identity, MFA, and least-privilege access so client financial data is reachable only by the people who need it.
02
Secure Microsoft 365 configuration
Microsoft 365 configured for confidentiality: mail flow rules, data loss controls, and secure sharing for client documents.
03
Backup validation and recovery planning
Backup validation with documented restore tests that hold up in audits and vendor due-diligence reviews.
04
Audit-friendly documentation and vCIO planning
Quarterly vCIO reviews that turn cybersecurity posture into board-ready documentation and a realistic budget plan.
Why Cyberhelix
Built for Financial IT Support
Controls aligned to sensitive financial data
Controls map to the data you hold: client financials, account access, and the systems regulators and clients ask about.
Support for audit and vendor review evidence
When auditors or clients request evidence, access reviews, backup logs, and policies are already organized and current.
Cybersecurity-first planning for leadership
Leadership gets a prioritized risk picture and budget options, not an alarm bell with an invoice attached.
Practical safeguards for small teams
Safeguards are sized for firms without an internal IT department, strong controls, manageable overhead.
Client Story
A finance-focused team needed better control over access, email risk, and documentation. Cyberhelix helped clarify the control gaps, improve identity cybersecurity, and organize an action plan for leadership review.
