Announcing the newly formed compliance & cyber security firm Cobaltix Compliance

SAN FRANCISCO - March 22, 2016 - PRLog -- Cobaltix Compliance - a newly formed boutique consulting firm focused on cyber security and compliance advisory services.

Cobaltix Consulting LLC is pleased to announce the formation of Cobaltix Compliance.  Cobaltix Compliance offers financial organizations an opportunity to work with a boutique firm with incredible expertise in the area of cyber security, as opposed to simply paying a lot of money to a large accounting or law firm that often performs a pro forma set of tasks, but actually does nothing to reduce risk, improve security, or help clients improve their regulatory relationship.  The firm assists clients (large and small) in becoming as secure as possible against outside attack, and works to ensure firms are compliant with the latest regulatory requirements.

"Cobaltix Technology Consulting has provided high touch technology consulting services for financial services clients since 2003, we recently saw a market need for cyber security based compliance services specifically in the hedge fund space." says Cobaltix Compliance founder, Steve Walker.  "The SEC is addressing the trend of cyber security threats and breaches with ever increasing oversight and regulatory action.  Firms that do not have a comprehensive plan in place may be subject to significant penalty."

Cobaltix Compliance works especially with SEC regulated firms, but has also done work in the past for FDIC, HIPAA, California Department of Insurance, EU, FINRA, and PCI regulated entities, as well as investigations and other similar work, both in the US and abroad. Services include risk assessments, policy and procedure review, vulnerability assessments and penetration testing, and vendor due diligence services, among others.  Additional information about Cobaltix Compliance may be found at:  http://www.cobaltixcompliance.com.
