Due to the intense regulatory focus on cyber security, in 2015 HLC refocused its efforts on providing security control assessments and policy guidance to financial firms before further expanding its scope to security remediation services in 2016 and 2017. In late 2017, the HLC Cyber Group formed Helical to integrate these offerings into a unified information security management platform.

With the acquisition, Helical acquired years of cyber security research and development which it was able to integrate into its platform offering.Today, the HLC Cyber Group's services and products are deployed by broker dealers, investment advisers, life sciences firms and pharmaceutical companies through-out the US.
