Will the assessment disrupt our operations?

No. The assessment is non-invasive. We work around your schedule using passive tools that don’t interfere with your systems or workflows.

How long does it take?

The online assessment takes under 3 minutes. A full operational review takes 3-5 business days. You receive a detailed report within one week.

Is our data kept confidential?

Yes. NDAs signed before any engagement. Data handling follows ISO 27001 protocols. Your records, IP, and infrastructure details stay private.

How is pricing structured?

Customized based on your organization’s size, industry, compliance requirements, and complexity. We offer a free AI Business Intelligence Assessment with no obligation. Call (952) 941-7333 to start a conversation.

Can you help us transition from our current provider?

Yes, we handle provider transitions regularly. We conduct a full environment discovery, document your current stack, and migrate services with minimal disruption. Most transitions complete within 30 days.

Can you help with compliance?

Core strength. CMMC, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001, NIST 800-171, SEC/FINRA, OSHA. We identify gaps and build a roadmap to get you audit-ready.

How fast do you respond to critical issues?

15-minute SLA for critical issues. Our AI-powered systems detect and resolve most issues automatically. When human intervention is needed, we are there in minutes.

Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification. Required by the DoD for contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information. If you bid on defense contracts, you need CMMC 2.0. Veracity is a Registered Provider.

How do you handle ransomware risk?

AI-powered endpoint detection, network segmentation, email authentication, immutable backups, awareness training, and 24/7 monitoring. Multiple layers. No single point of failure.

Do you train employees on threat awareness?

Ongoing. Quarterly simulations, role-specific training, AI-threat awareness, real-time coaching. 59% of incidents start with compromised credentials. Training closes that gap.

What happens during a security incident?

Our response team activates immediately. We contain the threat, preserve evidence, assess impact, restore operations from tested backups, handle regulatory notifications, and conduct root cause analysis. Response begins in minutes, not hours.

Shadow AI refers to unauthorized AI tools employees use without IT or security oversight — things like ChatGPT for sensitive documents, unapproved automation tools, or consumer AI apps connected to company data. It creates serious compliance and data leakage risk.

Do you offer AI governance?

Yes. We help organizations establish AI usage policies, deploy technical guardrails, audit existing tool usage, and build governed AI environments that let employees use AI productively without creating security or compliance exposure.

What is an AI Business Intelligence Assessment?

It's a structured evaluation of your organization's AI readiness, current tool usage, governance gaps, and automation opportunities. The output is a prioritized roadmap showing where AI can reduce cost, improve efficiency, and reduce risk in your specific environment.

How does AI reduce business risk?

AI enables continuous monitoring at a scale humans can't match — detecting anomalies, flagging policy violations, and responding to threats in real time. It also reduces human error, enforces consistent processes, and provides audit trails that support compliance.

What is a Human Risk Simulation?

It's an interactive assessment that presents realistic AI-generated threat scenarios — phishing, social engineering, impersonation — and measures how your team responds. The result is a Human Risk Score identifying your organization's behavioral vulnerabilities.

Do you work with our industry?

We specialize in construction, financial services, manufacturing, and high-compliance industries. Our team holds sector-specific certifications and understands the regulatory requirements and operational realities of each.

What platforms do you work with?

Procore, Sage, Bluebeam for construction. Bloomberg, Salesforce, trading platforms for financial services. SAP, SCADA, MES systems for manufacturing. If your team uses it, we know how to integrate and secure it.

What makes Veracity different?

We operate as a Managed Intelligence Provider, not a traditional MSP. We use AI and automation to proactively detect and resolve issues rather than reacting when things break. Clients get dedicated account managers, faster response times, and strategic technology guidance — not just a help desk.

What areas do you serve?

We primarily serve the Twin Cities metro including Minneapolis, St. Paul, Minnetonka, Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Plymouth, and surrounding Minnesota communities. We also support remote and hybrid teams nationwide through our cloud-based delivery model.

Do you support remote and hybrid teams?

Absolutely. Our service delivery is cloud-first and supports distributed workforces across any location. We manage endpoint security, identity, access controls, and collaboration tools for remote and hybrid environments.

What is a Managed Intelligence Provider?

A Managed Intelligence Provider (MIP) goes beyond traditional managed IT by integrating AI, automation, and proactive intelligence into every layer of your technology environment. Rather than reacting to problems, a MIP predicts, prevents, and resolves issues autonomously.

How is Veracity different from a traditional provider?

Traditional providers react when things break. Veracity builds proactive, AI-enhanced environments that detect and resolve issues before they impact your business. We combine strategic vCIO guidance with full IT and security execution — at a fraction of the cost of in-house staff.

What cybersecurity services does Veracity provide for financial services?

Financial Services IT & Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity Built for the Speed and Stakes of Finance

Banks, RIAs, fintech firms, and investment managers trust Veracity to keep their data compliant, their systems secure, and their clients confident.

$5.56M

Average cost of a financial services data breach (IBM 2025)

Financial services firms operate under some of the most stringent regulatory frameworks in any industry. From SEC/FINRA requirements to SOC 2 audits and PCI-DSS mandates, a single compliance gap can trigger enforcement actions, client attrition, and reputational damage that takes years to repair. At Veracity Technologies, we don't just understand financial IT - we live it. Our team manages infrastructure for RIAs, hedge funds, banks, and fintech startups across the Twin Cities, ensuring every system, every endpoint, and every data flow meets the standard your regulators - and your clients - expect.

The Challenges

What keeps financial services leaders up at night

SEC/FINRA Compliance Pressure

Regulatory examinations are becoming more frequent and more technical. Examiners now request evidence of encryption policies, incident response plans, and vendor due diligence. We maintain audit-ready documentation 365 days a year.

Business Email Compromise & Wire Fraud

Financial firms are the #1 target for BEC attacks. A single spoofed email directing a wire transfer to the wrong account can cost six or seven figures. We implement DMARC, DKIM, email encryption, and real-time phishing detection.

Client Data at Scale

Managing PII for thousands of clients across multiple custodians creates a massive attack surface. We deploy data loss prevention, endpoint encryption, and role-based access controls that scale with your AUM.

Shadow IT & Unapproved Tools

Advisors adopt portfolio tools, AI assistants, and communication apps without IT approval. Each one is an unmonitored data leak. We discover, assess, and govern every application touching your network.

Technical Deep Dive

How we secure financial services environments, in detail

SOC 2 Compliance for Financial Firms

SOC 2 Type II attestation demonstrates ongoing controls around security, availability, and confidentiality - increasingly required by institutional clients, custodians, and partners before they'll share data or integrate systems. We build and maintain the technical controls, access logging, and evidence collection needed to pass a SOC 2 audit without a last-minute scramble, and map overlapping requirements against SEC/FINRA and GLBA to avoid duplicate work.

Vendor & Third-Party Risk Management

Financial firms depend on dozens of vendors - custodians, portfolio management platforms, CRM providers - each representing a potential point of compromise. We maintain vendor risk assessments, monitor for fourth-party exposure, and ensure every integration meets the same security bar as your internal systems, satisfying the vendor due diligence documentation regulators now expect during examinations.

AI Governance for Advisory Firms

Advisors are adopting AI tools for research, communications, and portfolio analysis faster than compliance teams can review them. We help financial firms build an AI governance framework - an approved tools list, data classification rules for client PII, and audit logging - so AI adoption accelerates productivity without creating an unmonitored compliance gap.

Business Continuity for Trading Operations

A financial firm's continuity plan has to account for market-hours-sensitive operations: a four-hour outage during trading hours carries very different stakes than the same outage overnight. We build recovery time objectives around your actual trading and settlement windows, with tested failover for the systems that can't afford to be down when markets are open.
