HalcyonFT has partnered with Nines Living, the go-to household management platform for complex households, family offices and private service professionals.

SOC 2 Type 1 Compliance

New certification reflects HalcyonFT’s ongoing commitment to data safety and integrity

In the summer of 2023, HalcyonFT achieved SOC 2 Type 1 compliance as part of a voluntary initiative that demonstrates our dedication and adherence to the industry’s highest security standards. The certification process assesses the design of security processes at a single point in time. Now HalcyonFT has begun a six-month observation period that assesses the effectiveness of those controls over time. Read the press release.

Great Place to Work CertificationTM

HalcyonFT garners recognition for providing an exceptional workplace

This fall, HalcyonFT earned certification by Great Place To Work® for 2023–2024. The prestigious award is based on surveys of current employees. Impressively, 100% of our employees reported that HalcyonFT is a great place to work versus the average of 57% at a typical U.S. company. This honor is a testament to Halcyon’s efforts to build a highly collaborative environment in which every team member is important, equal, and valued. Read the press release.
