Technology advisory for institutions built on trust.

Banks, credit unions, fintechs, and wealth managers answer to regulators, auditors, and clients who expect flawless security and zero downtime. BH Tech Advisory Group brings governance-first technology guidance to financial services. At no cost to your organization.

The Challenge We Solve

Compliance obligations multiply. The attack surface does too.

Financial institutions operate under some of the strictest compliance and security regimes of any industry: SOC 2, PCI DSS, GLBA, and a constantly evolving set of regulatory expectations around data protection and resilience. At the same time, the pace of fintech innovation means legacy infrastructure can quickly become both a competitive liability and a compliance gap. Building an internal team with deep expertise across all of it is cost-prohibitive for all but the largest institutions.

How BH Tech Approaches It

Governance leads. Cost savings and competitive advantage follow.

We apply a governance-first model to every financial services engagement: compliance frameworks lead the process, every provider recommendation is scored against your regulatory obligations, documentation is audit-ready from day one, and redundant spend gets eliminated along the way. Vendor-agnostic guidance backed by the network and 33+ years of experience.

Pillar One
Security, Compliance & Risk
Cybersecurity & Threat Defense
Financial institutions are constant targets. We assess posture across the enterprise, close gaps identified against SOC 2, PCI DSS, and GLBA requirements, and consolidate overlapping security tools into an accountable, audit-ready footprint.
GRC & Compliance Framework Management
Compliance automation platforms that price by headcount and integration count often carry tiers and modules no one uses. We benchmark your current framework and identify where the same coverage can be delivered for meaningfully less.
Fractional CISO & Security Leadership
Many institutions need executive-level security leadership without the cost of a permanent hire. Through the network, we place fractional CISO leadership for defined engagements, functioning as your own internal auditor before the examiner arrives.
Pillar Two
Infrastructure & Operations
Cloud Optimization & Infrastructure Strategy
Cloud spend in financial services tends to grow without governance, particularly across multi-cloud environments. We identify where compute, storage, and licensing are oversized and rightsize the environment against both cost and compliance requirements.
Data Center & Colocation Advisory
We advise institutions on where workloads should live, from owned data center space to colocation and cloud, weighed against latency, resilience, regulatory data residency requirements, and total cost of ownership.
Enterprise Connectivity & Resilience
Core banking, trading, and client-facing systems require network resilience that most connectivity contracts don't actually deliver. We design and source enterprise network architecture built for financial services uptime requirements.
Pillar Three
Modernization & Cost
Communications & Collaboration Modernization
Legacy phone systems and fragmented communications platforms cost more and expose more than modern alternatives. We modernize the communications estate with platforms that meet compliance recording and retention requirements.
Technology Cost Optimization
Contract audits, elimination of redundant spend, and budget recovery across the entire technology estate. Financial institutions accumulate overlapping vendor relationships faster than they retire them.
AI & Data Readiness
Before AI can be deployed in client-facing or risk management contexts, data governance and infrastructure have to be in order. We assess readiness and identify the right path before AI spend starts.
Who We Serve

Community banks and credit unions, regional and national banks, wealth management firms, insurance carriers, fintechs, and the service providers who support them. Vendor-agnostic guidance, no cost to your organization, and 33+ years of experience behind every recommendation.
