Who We Serve
Financial Services
Regulated infrastructure where latency, security, and audit trails are non-negotiable
Overview
Financial services organizations operate under some of the tightest technical constraints in any industry. Regulatory frameworks demand immutable audit trails. Trading operations demand low-latency connectivity. Security controls need to be both rigorous and demonstrable. We have direct experience designing and operating infrastructure for quantitative trading firms and financial services organizations where all three of those requirements hold simultaneously.
Compliance & Auditability
FINRA, SEC, and the records regulators want
Financial regulators expect specific technical controls and specific documentation. AWS CloudTrail, immutable logging, API audit trails, and access control records need to be in place before an examination. We understand how to design environments where auditability is a built-in property, and we're familiar with the compliance frameworks that govern broker-dealers, investment advisors, and trading firms under FINRA and SEC oversight.
Trading Infrastructure
Latency, reliability, and the cost of a missed tick
For quantitative trading firms, infrastructure reliability is a financial condition. Connectivity to market data providers and execution partners needs to be encrypted, low-latency, and redundant. We've designed the network and security layer for firms where trade flow integrity is the primary concern — including encrypted tunnel connectivity that never traverses the public internet unprotected.
Security Controls
Defense in depth for regulated environments
Financial services environments require layered security controls — perimeter firewalls, network segmentation, encrypted connectivity, endpoint management, and monitoring across every account. We're familiar with SonicWall and Fortinet FortiGate firewalls in these contexts and with building environments in Terraform so they're auditable and reproducible by design.
