Bracer builds your cybersecurity program, assigns the work, tracks the evidence, and keeps your firm compliant — continuously and automatically.
I'm Bracer. I manage your cyber program.
A cyber program is not a document. It's a continuous operation.
Most firms have policies. Few can prove they follow them.
Regulations don't pause. Auditors don't either.
The obligation isn't just to write a cybersecurity program. It's to implement it, operate it, and demonstrate that it works — to regulators, auditors, and your own board. Bracer exists so you can.
You don't have to be regulated to need a cyber program. If you handle client data, hold sensitive records, or simply want to protect your organization — Bracer Essential gives you a complete, zero trust–based cyber program built around best practices. Auto-onboarding takes minutes. No compliance background needed. No jargon.
If you follow these minimum protections and policies, you'll be at the strongest position you can reach in cybersecurity today.

Bracer delivers a fully customized cyber program matched to your firm's obligations, structure, regulatory affiliations, and risk profile — built on the first day, managed every day after.
More verticals coming. Financial services is where Bracer starts.
Explore Financial ServicesBracer doesn't hand you a template. It asks the right questions and builds your program from the answers — automatically, on day one. No consultants. No forms to configure.
What type of organization are you?
Which regulations apply to you? (SEC, FINRA, NYDFS, NAIC, state-specific, or none)
Are you affiliated with a broker-dealer or enterprise that has additional compliance requirements?
Do you allow BYOD — Bring Your Own Device?
How many employees and remote or branch offices do you have?
Which cloud platforms and SaaS tools does your organization use?
Do you have a dedicated CISO or security resource in-house?
Based on your answers, Bracer builds a fully customized cybersecurity program specific to your firm — every module, every policy, every task, every team assignment. Not a starting point. A working program.
Most organizations can produce a policy document. The question regulators and auditors actually ask is harder: did you implement what's in it — and can you prove it?
Bracer is built around two things most cyber tools ignore entirely.
For every requirement in your program, Bracer tracks whether it was implemented. Not just assigned — implemented. There is a record, an owner, a date, and a status. Nothing is assumed. Everything is documented.
Implementation without evidence doesn't exist in a regulatory examination. For every policy and requirement, Bracer continuously gathers the evidence that your controls are working — so when the exam arrives, your program speaks for itself.
Not because you scrambled to prepare. Because Bracer never stopped.
Every task in your cyber program has a pre-built, custom form — designed specifically for that requirement. Not a generic to-do. Not a blank template. A purpose-built form, ready to fill, with your own fields added where needed. No project management software to configure. No forms to design.
Bracer tracks every recurring task across your entire program — deadlines, frequencies, owners, completion status. It tracks every reportable event with pre-built event reporting templates. And it includes a full change management system so every improvement project is recorded, because regulators don't expect perfection — they expect progress.
Evidence is collected continuously. When your next audit, exam, or review arrives, you don't prepare. You open Bracer.
One of the most common failures in cybersecurity isn't negligence — it's overload. Hundreds of tasks, no clear order, no sense of when to do what. Bracer solves this with the Cyber Calendar: a structured annual framework that assigns a theme to each period of the year, so your team always knows what to focus on.
Buffer months exist for a reason. Incidents happen. Projects run long. Bracer's calendar gives your team breathing room without losing structure.
You've heard it used to sell everything from firewalls to endpoint software. But real Zero Trust is not a vendor's feature set. It's an operating principle: trust nothing, verify everything, every single time.
Bracer is built on Zero Trust from the ground up. Every module. Every requirement. Every task.
The foundation everything else rests on. SGRC establishes how your organization governs cybersecurity, manages risk, and demonstrates compliance. It covers 12 policy categories across 137 requirements — from governance committees and roles to cyber insurance, privacy management, social media, training, and beyond.
Your master policy document. Data controls, technical safeguards, and cybersecurity minimum standards — matched to your regulations and always current.
The exact playbook for when something goes wrong. Who acts, in what order, within what timeframe. Assigned. Tested. Ready.
When operations are disrupted — by a cyberattack, a natural disaster, or anything else — your firm keeps running and your clients stay protected.
Every vendor that accesses your data carries risk. Bracer tracks, scores, and flags what needs attention. Annual review. Continuous monitoring.
The ground rules for how your employees and affiliates use firm systems, devices, and data — signed, acknowledged, and reviewed annually during Cyber Security Awareness Month.
Bracer doesn't ask you to write from scratch. Every module comes with pre-filled templates — structured, editable, and ready to adapt to your firm's reality. Every template is modifiable. Every field is yours to own.
More templates across all six modules. All pre-filled. All yours to customize.
In recent years, a shift has occurred that every executive, board member, and senior leader in a regulated firm must understand: individuals are now being held personally accountable for cybersecurity failures — not just the organizations they lead.
Uber, 2022. Former CISO Joe Sullivan was convicted on federal felony charges for his handling of a data breach — not for the breach itself, but for how leadership responded and failed to disclose it. A landmark case that signaled a new era of personal accountability.
SolarWinds, 2023. The SEC filed unprecedented charges against SolarWinds and its CISO Timothy Brown — individually — for allegedly misleading investors about the company's cybersecurity posture. A direct signal that regulators are holding individuals, not just entities, responsible.
These are not isolated cases. They are a pattern. Regulators — the SEC, FINRA, NYDFS — are increasingly focused not on whether a policy existed, but on whether leadership knew, acted, and documented.
The question they are asking is the same question Bracer answers every day: Did you implement your program — and can you prove it?
For board members, CEOs, CFOs, COOs, and CISOs at regulated firms: your personal exposure is real. A well-run, documented, evidence-backed cyber program is no longer optional. It is your defense.
