Financial firms operate under intense scrutiny — from regulators, clients and would-be attackers alike. Your IT has to protect sensitive client data, retain records correctly and stay available, all at once.
Key MSP brings compliance-aware managed IT to San Diego financial firms — registered investment advisors, broker-dealers, accounting practices and insurance offices — with security controls and record-keeping that stand up to an SEC or FINRA examination.
Everything runs on flat monthly pricing with a local team that answers the phone, so compliance and uptime stop being a scramble and become something you can count on.

FAQ
Questions finance teams ask
Can you help with FINRA 17a-4 compliance?
Yes. We help financial firms implement compliant, tamper-evident retention for email and records, and document the controls that support it for exams and audits.
Do you work with our compliance officer or outside consultant?
Gladly. We collaborate with your compliance officer or outside consultant to make sure technical controls map cleanly to your regulatory obligations.
Can you secure a hybrid or remote advisory team?
Absolutely. With Microsoft 365, enforced MFA, encryption and secure remote access, your advisors work safely from the office or home without weakening compliance.
How much does managed IT cost for a small business in San Diego?
Key MSP uses simple flat monthly pricing based on your team size — typically a predictable per-user or per-device rate with no onboarding fees. You get a clear quote after a short, free discovery call, with no surprise invoices.
Is your support local, or is it outsourced overseas?
100% local. We're a San Diego–based team — when you call, you reach the same technicians who know your environment, not an offshore call center or a ticket queue.
How quickly can you onboard us?
Most clients are fully onboarded within a few business days. We start with a full environment audit, turn on a security baseline (MFA, endpoint protection, backups), and give you a direct line to your team.
