Antonio Rega Joins SER’s Annual Conference in Washington, D.C.
Bates Group Managing Director Antonio Rega will join a panel at the Securities Experts Roundtable's (SER) 34th Annual Membership Meeting & Conference, taking place August 6–7, 2026, at the Sofitel Hotel in Washington, D.C.
Trends and Security Standards | Friday, August 7 | 9:00 AM
Antonio's session looks at how firms are adapting to a fast-moving data security landscape, including where SOC 2 audits fit into a compliance program, what's changed under Regulation S-P, how breach response planning holds up under real pressure, and the growing exposure firms face from class actions and related notification requirements.

We're glad to welcome Antonio as part of the Bates Group team. He brings more than twenty years of experience in digital forensics, incident response, data privacy, and eDiscovery, and his work extends directly into questions of SOC 2 readiness, Regulation S-P compliance, and breach response planning. Antonio adds a technical, investigative layer to our existing Litigation, Compliance, Regulatory, and Data Analytics practices, giving clients a single firm to turn to whether the need is forensic analysis after an incident, proactive assessment of a security program, or expert testimony once a matter is underway.
How Bates Group Helps
When a data security incident happens, firms face more than a technical fix, they face regulatory scrutiny, litigation exposure, and questions about whether their program was ready in the first place. Bates Group helps broker-dealers, investment advisers, and the counsel who represent them build that readiness before an incident occurs, and respond with a clear, defensible process when one does.
Whether you'll be in Washington, D.C. or simply want to talk through where your program stands today, connect with the Bates Group team. We're ready to help.
