Austin’s financial services marketcontinues to grow alongside the city’s technology, startup, venture capital,private wealth, real estate, and business services sectors. As more investmentmanagement firms launch, expand, relocate, or scale in Central Texas,compliance programs need to keep pace with changing teams, evolving technology,new vendors, investor expectations, and regulatory obligations.
Gryphon Compliance supports investmentmanagement firms in Austin and across Texas with regulatory complianceconsulting, outsourced CCO services, cybersecurity assessment support,electronic communications surveillance, exam readiness, and ongoing complianceprogram management.
Our work is designed to help firms buildpractical compliance infrastructure that supports growth without addingunnecessary complexity.
Investment management firms often operatein environments where the business changes quickly. New platforms are adopted,teams expand, communications move across multiple channels, and marketingactivity may grow before internal compliance processes are fully developed.
That pace can create risk if complianceresponsibilities are unclear or documentation is inconsistent.
Gryphon helps firms slow the process downwhere it matters, without slowing down the business. We work with leadershipand internal teams to understand the firm’s services, clients, systems,vendors, communication channels, and risk profile, then help build a complianceprogram that better reflects day-to-day operations.

Cyber security Assessment Support
Cybersecurity is a major compliance issuefor firms operating in technology-heavy environments. Investment managementfirms are expected to understand how sensitive client, investor, employee, andbusiness information is protected, how systems are accessed, and how vendorsare managed.Gryphon CyberIQ helps firms assesscybersecurity risk, evaluate existing controls, and identify areas wheresafeguards, documentation, or oversight may need improvement.
This can be especially important for firms using cloud platforms, investor portals, client reporting systems, remote access, mobile devices, third-party software, and data-sharing workflows. A cyber security assessment can give leadership a clearer view of current risk andhelp prioritize next steps.
Electronic Communications Surveillance
Financial professionals communicate across email, chat, collaboration platforms, approved messaging systems, voice channels, mobile tools, and other digital systems. As communication channels expand, firms need a consistent process for review, documentation, andescalation.
