Boston has a deep financial services market shaped by investment management, private wealth, institutional finance, private funds, family offices, venture capital, insurance, and businesses connected to the region’s healthcare, biotech, technology, and academic sectors. Firms operating in this environment often serve sophisticated clients, manage complex products or strategies, and need compliance programs that are organized, well-documented, and practical to maintain.
Gryphon Compliance supports investment management firms in Boston and across Massachusetts with regulatory compliance consulting, outsourced CCO services, cybersecurity assessment support, electronic communications surveillance, and regulatory readiness.
Our work is designed to help firms strengthen the compliance function without creating unnecessary complexity. We help firms understand their obligations, identify gaps, improve documentation, and build processes that fit how the business actually operates.
Compliance programs need to be more than a collection of policies. They should reflect the firm’s investment approach, client base, personnel, technology, communication channels, vendors, marketing activity, and overall risk profile.
For firms, that may mean addressing the needs of institutional clients, private fund investors, high-net-worth families, advisory clients, investment committees, remote employees, outside service providers, or growing internal teams.
Gryphon helps firms take a practical look at these moving pieces and determine where compliance processes may need to be clarified, updated, documented, or more consistently managed.
Gryphon provides regulatory compliance consulting for investment advisers, broker-dealers, private funds, wealth managers, family offices, and other regulated investment management firms.
Support may include:
● Compliance program development and review
● Policies and procedures
● Annual compliance reviews
● Risk assessments
● Mock regulatory exams
● Regulatory filings and registrations
● Code of ethics support
● Marketing and advertising review
● Employee compliance training
● Vendor due diligence
● Books and records support
● Ongoing compliance consulting
Gryphon’s approach is customized to the firm. We look at how the business works, where responsibilities sit, how decisions are documented, and how compliance obligations are being handled day to day.
Outsourced CCO Services for Investment Management Firms
Some firms need experienced compliance leadership but do not need a full-time internal Chief Compliance Officer. Others have internal personnel in place but need more senior-level guidance, stronger program management, or additional capacity during periods of growth or change.
Gryphon’s outsourced CCO services provide practical compliance oversight for firms that need clearer ownership of the compliance function. This support may include policy management, testing, monitoring, documentation, employee training, issue escalation, annual reviews, and ongoing compliance program updates.
For growing investment advisers, private fund managers, family offices, and wealth management firms, outsourced CCO support can help create a more organized and sustainable compliance structure.
Cybersecurity Assessment Support
Cybersecurity is now a core part of regulatory compliance for investment management firms. Firms are expected to understand how sensitive client, investor, employee, and business information is protected, how access is controlled, how vendors are managed, and how cybersecurity risks are identified.
Gryphon CyberIQ helps firms assess cybersecurity risk, evaluate existing controls, and identify areas where documentation, safeguards, or oversight may need improvement.
This can be especially important for firms that rely on cloud platforms, client portals, remote access, third-party vendors, portfolio systems, investor reporting tools, or other technology that touches confidential information.
Electronic Communications Surveillance
Business communications continue to expand across email, chat, collaboration platforms, approved messaging systems, voice channels, and other digital tools. As those channels grow, firms need a reliable process for reviewing communications, documenting findings, and escalating potential issues.
Gryphon provides electronic communications surveillance support for regulated firms that want to strengthen supervision and reduce the burden of manual review. The service helps firms monitor business communications more consistently, identify potential concerns, and maintain better documentation of review activity.
For firms with investment teams, client service groups, remote employees, operations staff, and outside vendors, electronic communications surveillance can help support a stronger overall compliance program.
Marketing and Investor Communications Review
Investment management firms often operate in competitive markets where thought leadership, investor materials, websites, pitch decks, performance discussions, and client communications play an important role in growth.
Gryphon can help review marketing and advertising materials through a compliance lens, supporting a stronger process for approval, documentation, and risk management. This helps firms communicate clearly while reducing the risk of unsupported claims, unclear disclosures, or inconsistent review practices.
Regulatory Exam Readiness
A regulatory exam can test how well a compliance program works in practice. It is not enough to have policies saved in a folder. Firms need to show that compliance responsibilities are understood, documented, tested, and managed consistently.
Gryphon helps firms prepare for exams by reviewing policies and procedures, organizing documentation, testing processes, identifying gaps, and helping teams understand what may be requested. This proactive work can help firms address issues before they become larger problems.
