And the risk doesn’t show up until:

  • A breach happens
  • Or an examiner starts asking questions

Here’s a Preview of What You’ll Ask

Vague answers = major compliance risk

Can you produce our full cybersecurity documentation within 24 hours?

If not, you’re not audit-ready

How do you manage vendor risk and third-party oversight?

This is now a regulatory requirement — not optional

This Isn’t Theory…
It’s a Reality Check

Each question is designed to expose:

  • Whether your provider understands financial regulations
  • Whether they have documented processes
  • Whether they can support you during an SEC exam

How Your IT Provider Scores Matters

  • 6–7 good answers: Strong
  • 3–5: Gaps exist
  • 0–2: You’re likely exposed
