We were proud to be the recipients of the "Managed IT Service Provider' Award at last week's The Drawdown Awards 2024.   Huge congratulations go out to the entire RFA team. Yet another award this year reflects everyone's great work.   RFA would also like to congratulate all our fellow winners of the evening and to thank The Drawdown for hosting a wonderful event.

The SEC mandates #PubliclyTradedCompanies and #RegulatedInvestmentAdvisors to disclose their #CybersecurityPolicies and procedures. However, the European Union's forthcoming Digital Operational Resilience Act (#DORA) takes a more comprehensive approach to this matter. For firms needing support to proactively address potential #CyberRisk, RFA offers a suite of services that form a foundation for meeting DORA requirements, including RFA's SaaS Security Assessment, Vulnerability Management, and Penetration Testing services.

RFA are pleased to be supporting the next Women in Finance event in the UK. You can find details below. If you would be interested in joining the evening, please get in touch with George Ralph CITP. It promises to be a fun evening and a great way to meet like minded women in finance in London!

While the SEC's cybersecurity risk management rules provide a strong foundation for cybersecurity policy disclosure, the upcoming Digital Operational Resilience Act (#DORA) in the #EuropeanUnion takes a more comprehensive approach. #RegulatedInvestmentAdvisors and #Brokers can use a wide variety of RFA services to meet DORA's requirements for strong #Cybersecurity protection, including #SaaS Security Posture Monitoring, #VulnerabilityManagement, Dark Web and Breach Exposure Monitoring, #Phishing Testing, and User Awareness Training.
