Everything a modern financial firm needs to stay protected, compliant, and ahead of the curve.
GLBA Compliance
Risk assessments, written information security programs, and ongoing controls tailored to firms handling nonpublic personal information (NPI).

Endpoint, email, network, and cloud security with advanced detection that identifies and mitigates threats before they become incidents.
Managed IT
Proactive monitoring, patching, and network management that keeps your infrastructure current and your team productive.

Strategic technology guidance — IT strategy, roadmapping, and vendor management — aligned to your firm’s business goals.
Multi-Framework Compliance
Beyond GLBA — HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR obligations mapped to practical controls and audit-ready documentation.
AI Governance
New — guardrails for safe AI adoption: usage policies, data-handling controls, model and vendor risk reviews, and audit-ready oversight.
New · AI Governance
Adopt AI without putting client trust at risk
As firms lean on AI for tax prep, audit, and client communications, new exposures appear fast. We put practical guardrails in place — usage policies, data-handling controls, model and vendor risk reviews, and audit-ready documentation — so your team can use AI productively while protecting NPI and staying ahead of emerging regulation.
- Client NPI leaking into public AI models
- Biased, inaccurate, or unexplainable outputs
- A fast-moving AI regulatory landscape
- Unmonitored “shadow AI” use across the firm
Compliance frameworks we cover
From financial-sector mandates to data privacy and responsible AI — mapped to controls your auditors will recognize.
FAQ
Common questions
Is GLBA compliance required for CPA and accounting firms?
Yes. Under the FTC Safeguards Rule, firms that handle nonpublic personal information (NPI) — including CPAs, accountants, and financial advisors — must maintain a written information security program with administrative, technical, and physical safeguards.
What does a GLBA risk assessment involve?
It identifies where NPI lives, the threats to it, and the gaps in your current controls. We document findings, map them to required safeguards, and build a remediation plan that becomes the backbone of your written information security program.
How does Hexis help with AI governance?
We put practical guardrails in place: AI usage policies, data-handling controls that keep client NPI out of public models, vendor and model risk reviews, and audit-ready documentation — so your team can use AI productively without creating compliance exposure.
Do you work with firms outside Wisconsin?
Yes. We have on-site staff in Wisconsin and Nevada and work remotely with firms across the continental US.
What is the difference between managed IT and a fractional CTO?
Managed IT is tactical — monitoring, patching, and support that keep systems running. A fractional CTO is strategic — technology roadmapping, vendor selection, and aligning your IT investments with your firm’s business goals.
