The controls are usually there. The proof isn't.

Access reviews that happened but weren't recorded. Training with no completion roster. A policy that doesn't match how the firm actually runs. Every one of those is a finding, even when the work was genuinely done.

Scored against SEC and FINRA examination standards.

What an examiner will ask for

Documentation, supervision, access reviews, training records, and approved-tool policy, scored against SEC and FINRA. Walter reads every one himself and walks you through it.

WHO’S BEHIND THIS

"I lead a team of IT experts focused on SEC and FINRA compliance."

Walter Contreras is the CEO of Motiva Networks, the IT firm that runs financial firms' systems and keeps them exam-ready, so security and compliance stop being two separate fire drills. The check is how every relationship with Motiva starts. Run it, keep the report, and do whatever you like with it, including handing it to your current IT company.

FROM THE FIELD

What we find at firms that thought they were covered.

WIRE FRAUD

A loan officer's inbox rule forwarded every message with "wire" in the subject. Nobody noticed for three weeks.

VENDOR RISK

An agency's "trusted vendor" had access to client PII with a password unchanged for 8 months.

MFA

"We have antivirus" was the entire security program. No MFA on the agency management system that held every client’s SSN.
