In a time of increasing regulatory complexity and budget pressures faced by broker-dealers, registered investment advisers, and asset managers, Cypher+ by Decoded Technologies delivers a powerful, all-in-one platform specifically designed for financial institutions.
Founded by industry veterans Ralph Acevedo and Hector Marrero, Cypher+ is uniquely positioned to serve financial firms with a customizable approach that automates compliance processes, centralizes operations, and helps reduce the costs typically associated with financial compliance software.
“Our approach is clear: financial firms deserve a compliance platform designed around their needs, not the other way around,” said Acevedo, co-founder of Decoded Technologies.
“By focusing exclusively on the financial sector, we bring targeted expertise and features that directly address the evolving compliance and operational challenges these firms face.” Unlike industry-agnostic platforms, Cypher+ provides highly customizable workflows that adapt to each firm’s unique operational model, recognizing that even within finance, no two firms are alike. This level of customization ensures that compliance solutions aren’t limited to large enterprises — firms of all sizes can now access technology that meets their specific needs without sacrificing flexibility or control.
An all-in-one platform with transparent pricing
In addition to advanced compliance capabilities, Cypher+ integrates portfolio management and order management into one intuitive platform, enabling firms to centralize client interactions, risk alerts, and trading workflows. The platform’s transparent, flat-rate pricing structure means users aren’t hit with transaction-based fees, providing predictable, scalable costs as firms grow.
“Our clients can scale confidently with Cypher+, knowing their costs won’t spiral with every new trade,” noted Marrero, co-founder of Decoded Technologies. “This transparent pricing approach opens the door for firms of all sizes to leverage high-quality compliance and operational support without a hefty budget or an extensive IT team.”
Enhanced efficiency and real-time risk management
At the heart of Cypher+ is its ability to transform compliance from a reactive necessity into a proactive asset. With real-time risk alerts and customizable workflows, the platform allows financial firms to streamline complex processes, improve accuracy, and reduce human error. Cypher+ empowers compliance teams to monitor portfolio performance and trading activities in real time, alerting them to risky trades or irregular behaviors before they escalate into issues.
“Our mission is to empower firms to manage regulatory demands seamlessly, allowing them to focus more on growth and client engagement rather than manual compliance,” Acevedo added.
Customer-centric service and industry expertise
Decoded Technologies views each client relationship as a partnership, tailoring the Cypher+ platform to align with each firm’s specific goals and workflows. Acevedo and Marrero bring years of financial compliance and technology expertise to Cypher+, supported by a dedicated team that understands the unique pressures and demands of the financial sector.
“We’re here to support financial firms with innovative solutions that aren’t just for the biggest players,” said Marrero. “Our goal is to equip firms of all sizes with technology that transforms compliance from a challenge into an advantage.”
As financial firms continue to navigate an evolving regulatory landscape, Cypher+ is positioned to become an indispensable tool, helping companies turn compliance into a seamless part of their growth strategy.
