Case Study: Trail Ridge Wealth Management achieves compliance confidence and cybersecurity peace of mind with Smarsh and Entreda

Trail Ridge Wealth Management Ensures Compliance and Cybersecurity Peace of Mind with Smarsh and Entreda

Trail Ridge Wealth Management, a six-person firm founded in 2017 in Fort Collins, CO, provides personalized wealth and trust services and needed simple, cloud-first technology so staff could spend more time with clients. With the CFO also acting as the firm’s tech lead, the firm sought a communications-archiving solution that would capture email, text, social and other channels without overburdening the CEO (who is also the Chief Compliance Officer), and a stronger cybersecurity approach to manage employee devices beyond the piecemeal tools they had been using.

Trail Ridge implemented Smarsh Professional Archive to capture all communication channels in a single, cloud-based platform and to surface only high‑risk items for executive review, then adopted Entreda (after its acquisition by Smarsh) for unified cybersecurity. The combined solution delivered SEC-ready compliance, easy access and oversight, effective phishing testing, consolidated device and policy reporting (passwords, firewalls, etc.), and measurable peace of mind—freeing the team to focus on clients rather than manual compliance checks.
