How Firms Stay SEC-Ready and Cyber-Strong Year-Round

How Firms Stay SEC-Ready and Cyber-Strong Year-Round

Staying SEC-Ready isn’t something you “check off” once a year. Threats shift month to month, SaaS platforms change weekly, and regulators expect firms to show continuous testing, updated documentation, and proof that controls actually work. Firms that only prepare during audit season often uncover avoidable risks — outdated policies, untested IR/BCP plans, stale accounts, missing MFA, or gaps in vendor oversight.

This session breaks down what year-round readiness looks like and how to operationalize it. You’ll learn how to move from reactive compliance to a proactive rhythm of policy reviews, posture scoring, staff training, cloud and SaaS evaluations, and quarterly documentation checks that hold up under SEC examination.

Join Visory experts Kyle Hendrickson and Claudia Lunsford as they show how to maintain strong cybersecurity and compliance maturity all year. You’ll see how leadership teams, IT, and advisors can align around a clear set of actions, dashboards, and KPIs that make being SEC-Ready a predictable, repeatable process — not a stressful scramble.

We’ll cover the full SEC-Ready framework: everyday threat trends, annual compliance must-haves, posture scoring, security dashboarding, IR/BCP exercises, cloud and data risk reviews, and a practical quick-win checklist you can apply immediately.
