Retirement Plan Administrators

Before Your Next Audit
Questions Worth Asking
If you scored your firm against DOL's 12 cybersecurity best practices today, how many would show gaps—and which ones concern you most?
When your IT provider configures your systems, do they understand the difference between a 401(k) recordkeeper integration and an ESOP valuation file transfer—or are you explaining your business to them?
If your administration system went down during a quarter-end deadline, how long would it take your IT provider to respond—and do you have that commitment in writing?
If you discovered unauthorized access to participant data tomorrow, do you have a notification process that would satisfy your clients, your carriers, and the DOL?

Deep TPA Industry Knowledge

We understand Form 5500 deadlines, participant data protection, and the specific audit standards TPAs face.
DOL Cybersecurity Compliance
The Department of Labor's EBSA guidance outlines 12 cybersecurity best practices for ERISA plan fiduciaries. Our services address every requirement. See our DOL Compliance Guide for the complete breakdown.
Your Dedicated Service Desk Manager
No rotating technicians. No explaining your setup every time you call. Each client gets a dedicated service desk manager who knows your technology stack, your team, and your workflows—making every interaction personalized and seamless.
ERISA & Fiduciary Support
As a 3(16) administrator or ERISA fiduciary, cybersecurity failures create personal liability. Our solutions document your compliance efforts, protecting both participant data and your fiduciary standing during plan sponsor reviews and DOL audits.
