SEC/CFTC & SOC 2 for finance and trading
Chicago is the country's trading floor and its freight hub at once. It's the home of the world's derivatives markets — CME Group and Cboe — and a deep base of trading firms, banks, and asset managers. It's also the largest rail and logistics hub in North America, a manufacturing powerhouse, and home to one of the densest concentrations of Fortune 500 headquarters and major health systems anywhere. Everything here runs on speed, uptime, and regulation.
Each of those worlds answers to something exacting — SEC, CFTC, and SOC 2 for trading and finance, C-TPAT and supply-chain security for logistics, OT security for manufacturing, and HIPAA for healthcare. Most local IT shops can't carry that weight — or the low-latency, always-on demands of the trading world. intSignal runs managed IT, a 24×7 security operation, cloud, and business communications under one roof — and produces the evidence regulators, auditors, and clients expect.
We support businesses across Chicago and Cook County and the collar counties — the Loop, the suburbs, and the office corridors. Senior engineers own your account, and because we operate our own geo-redundant infrastructure across three regions, we can place workloads where performance, cost, and compliance line up — and keep your recovery copy well outside the Midwest's extreme-weather zone.
The services where being local actually changes the outcome — the region your data lives in, latency, on-site speed, the local climate, and a local phone number.
Trading, freight, and manufacturing set the pace here, each with its own obligation. We lead with the one that matters to you.
Instead of juggling a helpdesk, a security firm, a cloud reseller, and a phone company, one team owns it all. When something breaks, there's one number to call and one team responsible — with real stake in keeping your business.
Between SEC/CFTC for trading and SOC 2 for the firms around it, Chicago holds finance to a high bar. We carry it — the controls, evidence, and always-on posture the markets expect — run by senior engineers rather than a scripted call center.
We run geo-redundant enterprise hosting across three regions, so we can place each workload where performance, cost, and compliance line up — public, private, or hybrid — and keep your recovery copy well outside the Midwest.
Remote-first for speed, with local technicians across Chicagoland for hands-on work — and DR designed for a region of polar-vortex cold, blizzards, and record heat waves.
Tell us your stack and priorities — we return scope, ownership, and a plan, at no cost.
A complete outsourced IT department for Chicago businesses — or a co-managed extension of the team you already have.
A 24×7 security operation and the compliance work Chicago's regulated industries actually need — run by senior analysts, not an alert forwarder.
Public, private, or hybrid — placed where performance, cost, and compliance line up, on infrastructure we run across three regions.
Put data and AI to work — automation, analytics, and vision that improve how Chicago teams operate.
Replace an aging phone system with a cloud platform that travels with your team — voice, texting, video, and mobile, with AI built in.
The software that runs it all — our own security, network, and operations platforms, available managed or co-managed.
A short, low-risk path from first call to a running, monitored environment.
We map your Chicago environment and the compliance you carry — SEC/CFTC and SOC 2 for finance, C-TPAT for logistics, HIPAA for healthcare — at no cost.
A clear roadmap prioritized by the regulations and uptime requirements that matter most, with resilience built in for Midwest extremes.
We secure and stabilize first — identity, backups outside the Midwest, endpoints, and monitoring — before anything else.
24×7 operations, a named team, and quarterly reviews that keep you audit-ready and storm-ready.
On-site support across Chicago, Cook County, and the collar counties — from the Loop to the office corridors in the suburbs.
Yes. We're remote-first for speed, but we dispatch engineers across Chicago, Cook County, and the collar counties — the Loop, Naperville, Schaumburg, Oak Brook, and Rosemont — for hands-on work like installs, cabling, hardware, and new-office builds.
Yes — in the home of the derivatives markets, it's our most-requested engagement. We build and monitor the controls, run the security program, and produce the evidence the SEC, CFTC, and auditors expect for SOC 2 — with the low-latency, always-on posture trading demands.
Yes. As the largest freight hub in North America, Chicago runs on connected logistics. We secure networks, connect sites reliably, and support C-TPAT and supply-chain requirements so freight keeps moving.
Backups run locally for fast restores and are automatically replicated to a second region well outside the Midwest — clear of the region's extreme cold, storms, and grid strain. So a polar vortex, blizzard, or heat wave can't take out both your systems and your recovery copy.
Yes. Our UCaaS platform is a full cloud phone system — calls, business texting, video meetings, a contact center, and business cellular — with AI transcription and IVR. We provision local 312, 773, and 872 numbers, port your existing lines, and you can keep desk phones, go fully mobile, or both.
From small and mid-sized organizations — roughly 20 to 500 staff — to their compliance-heavy suppliers, plus multi-site and corporate companies. Our security operation and cloud scale up cleanly as you grow and add locations.
Serving Chicago and Cook County. Talk to a senior engineer, not a call center.
