The wealth management industry is at a turning point, where investing in technology is no longer optional—it’s a matter of survival. A recent analysis by Craig Iskowitz in The Wealth Tech Today blog highlights a critical trend: firms are increasing their tech budgets by 4-5% annually, with cybersecurity and compliance as the top priorities.

The Growing Importance of Cybersecurity and Compliance

Cybersecurity threats are more prevalent than ever, and financial firms are prime targets. A single breach can lead to financial loss, reputational damage and regulatory penalties. Cybersecurity and compliance now represent the most significant area of IT investment for wealth management firms. This reflects a growing awareness that securing client data is fundamental to maintaining trust and business continuity.

Key Cybersecurity Risks Facing RIAs

  1. Phishing and Social Engineering Attacks – Cybercriminals exploit human vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data.
  2. Ransomware Threats – These attacks can lock firms out of their own systems, leading to costly downtime and potential data loss.
  3. Regulatory Compliance Failures – The SEC, FINRA and state regulators impose stringent cybersecurity requirements that firms must meet to avoid fines and legal consequences.

By prioritizing cybersecurity, RIAs not only protect their firms from devastating attacks but also demonstrate a commitment to safeguarding client assets and data—a competitive advantage in today’s market.

The Role of Managed IT in Enhancing Efficiency and Scalability

Beyond cybersecurity, managed IT services play a critical role in enabling RIAs to operate efficiently and scale effectively. According to Iskowitz, wealth managers typically invest 5-10% of their revenue in IT, with spending allocated across:

  • Front Office (35%) – Client-facing technology that enhances user experience and digital engagement.
  • Middle Office (25%) – Data management and workflow automation for operational efficiency.
  • Back Office (25%) – Infrastructure support, cybersecurity, and compliance-related systems.
  • Administrative Functions (15%) – Internal operations, including HR and finance-related IT tools.

Cloud Migration and Digital Transformation: A Necessity, Not a Luxury

The shift to cloud-based infrastructure is another key trend in wealth management. Firms that adopt cloud solutions benefit from enhanced security, seamless remote access and improved collaboration. Cloud-based cybersecurity tools also offer real-time threat detection, automated updates and built-in compliance support—reducing the burden on internal IT teams.

Moreover, digital transformation is no longer just about efficiency—it’s about meeting client expectations. Clients demand seamless digital experiences, from online portals to mobile applications. Firms that fail to invest in digital transformation risk losing business to more tech-savvy competitors.

Generative AI and the Future of IT Investments

Another emerging trend is the integration of generative AI (GenAI) into wealth management. Projections indicate that GenAI will account for 16% of IT budgets in the near future. While AI-driven tools can enhance data analysis, automate administrative tasks and improve client interactions, they also introduce new cybersecurity risks. Ensuring AI tools are secure and compliant is crucial as firms explore these innovations.

Why RIAs Need a Trusted Cybersecurity and IT Partner

For RIAs and wealth management firms, the challenge isn’t just about allocating more budget to IT—it’s about making strategic investments in the right areas. Partnering with a managed IT and cybersecurity provider like Visory can help firms:

  • Implement robust cybersecurity frameworks to protect against evolving threats.
  • Ensure regulatory compliance through proactive monitoring and reporting.
  • Optimize IT infrastructure for scalability and efficiency.
  • Leverage cloud technology for secure and seamless operations.
  • Adopt AI-driven solutions with security and compliance in mind.

The Bottom Line

As wealth management firms navigate a rapidly changing landscape, those that prioritize cybersecurity and managed IT will be better positioned for long-term growth. With tech spending rising and client expectations evolving, investing in the right technology solutions isn’t just about staying competitive—it’s about ensuring the future viability of your firm. Now is the time for RIAs to take action and build a secure, resilient IT foundation that supports both compliance and growth.
