Built to satisfy
The exam is real. So is the breach risk.
RIAs are squarely in scope now — and most small firms aren't ready for either side of it.
Examiners expect a real program
The FTC Safeguards Rule applies to RIAs. A written security program, documented risk assessments, and evidence of active controls are table stakes — most small firms have none of it.
A breach is a regulatory event
Client-data exposure triggers breach-notification duties, SEC exam findings, and potential enforcement. The firms hit hardest assumed they were too small to be a target.
A checklist isn't protection
A template PDF won't stop an intrusion or satisfy a live exam. You need a security program that's actually running — and watched around the clock.
Don't wait for an exam finding or an incident to discover the gaps.

Your data stays yours
Least-privilege access, encrypted in transit and at rest. We never sell or share your firm's or your clients' information.
Evidence that maps to the rule
Every safeguard ties to dated, examiner-ready proof — so “show me” is a one-click answer, not a fire drill.
Questions we hear from advisers.
Is the WISP actually examiner-ready?
Yes. The Written Information Security Program we generate is structured around the nine elements required by the FTC Safeguards Rule and aligned with SEC cybersecurity examination expectations. We recommend having your compliance counsel review it before your first exam — we can't replace that review, but we do the heavy lifting.
Do you replace my CCO or compliance attorney?
No. Klaro generates your written program and provides the technical controls that make it real. Regulatory interpretation, filings, and final sign-off still belong with qualified counsel. Think of us as the team that builds and runs the security infrastructure — your CCO or attorney validates the program.
What client data can you see?
We don't have access to your client records, CRM, or portfolio data. Our monitoring tools observe process activity and security signals on your computers — not the contents of your files or your clients' accounts.
How fast can we be exam-ready?
Most firms complete the onboarding questionnaire in under an hour, and we generate the WISP within one business day. Device monitoring is active within 24 hours of installation. Plan for two weeks to have everything documented and verified before an exam.
What happens if I cancel?
You can cancel any time from your billing portal. The monitoring tools uninstall from your devices, and your subscription ends at the next billing cycle. Your WISP and compliance documents remain yours — we'll provide an export before deactivation.
Do you cover Macs and PCs?
Yes — both macOS and Windows are fully supported. Mobile devices (iOS, Android) are not included in the current plan.
What if we have a real incident — do you help?
Yes. If our monitoring detects a breach or ransomware event, we contain it and work with you through remediation. Your incident response plan documents the steps, and our team is on the call. We also help you determine whether the event triggers SEC or state breach-notification obligations.
Who's behind Klaro?
Klaro is built by a team with backgrounds in managed security and financial-services compliance. We started it because small RIAs were falling through the gap between compliance platforms that don't do security and IT vendors that don't speak regulator.
