Intelligence and Cybersecurity
Crafted for the Modern Financial Institution
The BrainTrust is MTradecraft’s membership program for financial institutions that need to operate a regulator-ready cybersecurity and intelligence program—without vendor upsells, unnecessary tooling, or academic theory.
The BrainTrust is not just “resources.” It is the same operational backbone we use with consulting clients—made accessible as a membership package.
What You Get With Your BrainTrust Membership:
FieldCraft is a plug-and-play cybersecurity awareness program built specifically for financial firms.
- Bite-sized lessons and quizzes (3–5 minutes) covering phishing, passwords, social engineering, and insider threats
- On-demand or scheduled simulated phishing campaigns
- Automated compliance evidence: completion logs and quiz scores with monthly CSV/PDF exports, ready for your files
- Real humans acting out real world issues...no cartoons here.
User limits by tier:
- Free: up to 10 users
- Premium: up to 25 users
- Remote CISO: Unlimited
CRVT™ reports provide defensible evidence that your firm understands its cyber risk and is actively monitoring threats.
Each CRVT includes two deliverables:
1. Executive Summary Report
- Plain-English explanation of the highest-risk findings
- Why each issue matters to a regulated financial firm
- Prioritized remediation guidance—what to fix first and why
2. Technical Evidence Pack
- External attack surface inventory (IPs, ports, CVEs)
- Credential and document exposures in breach datasets and dark-web indices
- Impersonation and look-alike domains
- DNS, SSL/TLS, and certificate intelligence
- Cloud and web-application misconfigurations
Nothing is redacted. You receive the same raw evidence we review.
CRVT cadence by tier:
- Free: $2500/as needed
- Premium: Annually
- Remote CISO: Monthly
Every BrainTrust member receives immediate access to a living library of SEC-aligned documentation, designed to be implemented and defended—not just filed.
Includes:
- Core cybersecurity policies and annual review documentation
- Mock SEC exam kits, compliance calendars, and checklists
- Employee and client policies (technology use, social media, encryption, wire fraud)
- Vendor due diligence questionnaires and confidentiality agreements
- Disclosure and delivery documents (ADV delivery letters, acknowledgements)
- AI compliance and operational frameworks
- Securing Compliance examination survival framework
Download, brand, and file—without starting from scratch.
