ECI

ECI is purpose-built for the alternative investment and financial services industry — hedge funds, private equity firms, and asset managers. Their platform includes built-in compliance for SEC, FCA, HCA, HIPAA, Hi-Trust, CIS, ISO, and NIST requirements, a proprietary XDR (not a bolted-on SIEM), and 14 global offices serving clients in the US, Asia, and Europe. After 30 years in the industry, ECI has deep domain expertise in the regulatory and operational requirements of regulated financial firms.

ECI built their own Extended Detection and Response (XDR) platform rather than reselling a third-party SIEM. This means threat correlation and detection rules are tuned specifically for financial services environments — not generic enterprise. The 24/7 SOC monitors 30,000+ devices and processes 42,000 NOC alerts per month, with 15,000 NOC tickets resolved monthly. For firms with SEC cyber disclosure requirements, ECI XDR provides the monitoring depth and documentation trail that regulators increasingly expect.

ELLA is ECI proprietary secure, compliant LLM platform that enables financial services firms to safely use generative AI across their structured and unstructured data. ELLA provides guardrails, audit logs, SSO integration, and support for Microsoft Copilot customization, SharePoint, Power Platform, data warehouse, Snowflake, Databricks, and Azure Data Factory — allowing firms to capture AI productivity gains without the compliance and data-leakage risks of unmanaged GenAI adoption.

ECI builds compliance into every solution for SEC cyber disclosure rules, FCA requirements, HCA, HIPAA, Hi-Trust, CIS Top 18, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and SOC 2. For alternative investment firms with global investor bases, ECI can address both US and UK/EU regulatory requirements from their London and US offices.

ECI operates 14 global offices across the US (multiple locations), Asia (Bangalore, Hong Kong, Hyderabad, Manila, Singapore), and Europe (London, Lisbon, Manchester) — supporting 750+ clients worldwide with 24/7 NOC operations. For alternative investment firms with global operations across multiple regulatory jurisdictions, ECI geographic coverage means local support and compliance expertise in each region.

ECI supports private cloud (single-tenant dedicated), public cloud (Azure and AWS), Desktop as a Service via Azure Virtual Desktop and Cloud PC, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity, and IaaS. Their proprietary ISP provides express routing, multiplexing, and SD-WAN with built-in redundancy — giving financial services clients a complete managed network alongside cloud services.
