After October 14, 2025, Microsoft will no longer provide free security patches, non-security updates, or technical assistance for the operating system. Companies that continue to use the unsupported system will face increasing security, operational, and compliance challenges. Without ongoing patches, computers are more exposed to viruses, data breaches, and malware, the team explains.
For registered investment advisors and compliance officers, these operations are critical to data protection, customer trust, and legal regulatory compliance. As such, RIA Compliance Technology’s team seeks to help firms address compliance and security concerns in this sensitive sector.
Each engagement begins with a technology and compliance assessment that maps a business’s existing systems, identifies unsupported software, and outlines upgrade timelines aligned with regulatory expectations.
Businesses do have other alternatives: they can upgrade eligible hardware to Windows 11 or migrate to a different operating system. Another choice is paying for Microsoft’s Extended Security Updates program for an additional three years of protection. The price begins at $61 per device for the first year, but doubles annually, potentially creating financial burdens for firms with many devices.
The company’s compliance platform provides automated compliance reminders, arranges tasks, and identifies gaps so businesses don’t miss critical updates or deadlines. Its synchronized compliance dashboard and organized processes give deadlines and cut down on the risk of oversights. The technology helps advisors stay ready for audits and maintain organization without the major expense of the Microsoft ESU package.
