Financial services is the second-most attacked industry worldwide, per IBM's X-Force Threat Intelligence Index 2026. NYC firms — hedge funds, broker-dealers, private equity, RIAs, insurance companies, and banks — face overlapping mandates from NY DFS, the SEC, FINRA, and PCI DSS that demand demonstrable security controls.
Fortress MSSP provides the managed infrastructure, penetration testing, and compliance documentation that Wall Street and Midtown firms need to satisfy regulators and protect client assets.
We map every assessment directly to DFS requirements: annual penetration testing (§ 500.5), risk assessment (§ 500.9), MFA enforcement (§ 500.12), and encryption in transit and at rest (§ 500.15). Our reports are formatted for DFS examiner review.

We design and implement zero-trust network architectures that satisfy regulatory expectations for least-privilege access, micro-segmentation, and continuous verification — without disrupting trading operations or analyst workflows.
