RIA Compliance Technology — Compliance Management Software Built by RIA Compliance Professionals
RIA Compliance Technology was founded in 2017 by Blake Bjordahl, a compliance professional who built the platform after years of managing RIA compliance programs across disconnected spreadsheets, outdated archives, and fragmented systems. Headquartered in Arizona, the company serves more than 400 registered investment advisers, compliance consulting firms, and broker-dealers across the United States and internationally.
The platform was built by people who have sat in the compliance chair. This is exactly how it mirrors the workflows, language, and regulatory requirements that RIA compliance teams deal with daily. Every tool in the platform reflects a real problem compliance professionals need solved, not a feature built for a generic market.
RIA Compliance Technology's mission is straightforward: make compliance simple, structured, and organized so that registered investment advisers can focus on serving clients and growing their businesses with confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
The platform was built by compliance professionals with direct experience inside RIA firms, which means it reflects the regulatory requirements, workflows, and exam pressures that investment advisory compliance teams face daily. Clients stay with RIA Compliance Technology through SEC and state examinations, regulatory changes, and significant firm growth because the platform evolves with their compliance program rather than requiring them to adapt around it. Every client receives unlimited support and training on technology use, in addition to our connection with The Compliance Network, we are able to connect users to an entire network of industry related subject matter experts that can answer non-technology related questions.
RIA Compliance Technology is a compliance management software platform, not a compliance consulting firm or registered investment adviser. The platform gives RIAs, Compliance Officers, and Compliance Consultants, the tools to manage their own compliance programs — it does not provide regulatory advice or act as an outsourced CCO. This distinction matters because firms using the platform retain full ownership and control of their compliance program, with technology that makes that program simpler, more organized, and exam-ready.
RIA Compliance Technology provides unlimited support and training to every client — not just during onboarding but throughout the entire relationship. Compliance programs evolve as firms grow, regulations change, and teams turn over, so ongoing access to support is built into the platform from day one. Clients work directly with a team that understands the regulatory environment RIAs operate in, not a generic help desk unfamiliar with investment advisory compliance requirements.
RIA Compliance Technology stores all client compliance data on one of the most secure and widely trusted cloud infrastructure platforms available. Firms retain full ownership of their data at all times. RIA Compliance Technology does not share, sell, or access client compliance records outside of direct support interactions. For firms managing sensitive employee, client, and regulatory documentation, data security and ownership are non-negotiable, and the platform is built to reflect that.
Yes — RIA Compliance Technology has supported hundreds of firms through SEC and state examinations. The platform organizes compliance records, communication archives, trade reviews, and policy documentation so firms can respond to examiner requests immediately and completely. Clients who have gone through regulatory exams with RIA Compliance Technology in place consistently report that having an organized, timestamped audit trail made the examination process significantly more straightforward than managing records across disconnected systems.
