Financial services

IT support and cyber security for firms where client trust and regulatory compliance are everything.

The IT challenges financial services firms face.

Regulators expect more. Clients expect more. Insurers expect more. These are the IT and security challenges we hear about most.

01

FCA compliance is getting harder

Operational resilience, SYSC obligations, and data protection requirements keep expanding. Most IT providers cannot help you evidence what is in place.

02

Client data is the crown jewels

Financial records, investment portfolios, personal details. One breach destroys years of trust and can trigger regulatory action.

03

Cyber insurance demands keep rising

Insurers want evidence of MFA, endpoint protection, email security, and backup. Without it, premiums rise or cover is refused.

04

Third-party supplier risk

Regulators expect you to manage IT supplier risk properly. That means due diligence, contracts, and ongoing oversight of anyone who touches your data.

05

Business continuity under scrutiny

Can you recover from a ransomware attack? Can you prove it? Regulators and auditors are asking these questions more often.

06

Auditors asking questions IT cannot answer

When compliance reviews come around, your IT provider should be ready with documentation, evidence packs, and clear answers. Most are not.

IT that regulators expect and clients trust.

We build security and compliance into your IT from the ground up. Not as an afterthought before an audit.

How we work

What we do for financial services firms.

Security, compliance, and IT support aligned to the regulatory expectations you actually face.

Regulatory-aligned security baseline

Controls mapped to FCA expectations, Cyber Essentials, and ISO 27001. MFA, encryption, conditional access, and monitoring as standard.

Compliance documentation and evidence

Audit-ready documentation of your IT controls. Evidence packs for compliance reviews, cyber insurance applications, and client due diligence requests.

Secure client communications

Email encryption, secure file sharing, and protected collaboration. Making it easy to handle sensitive information without introducing risk.

Business continuity and disaster recovery

Tested backup and recovery procedures. Knowing you can restore operations quickly if something goes wrong, and proving it to auditors.

Proactive monitoring and incident response

24/7 security monitoring, threat detection, and rapid response. Problems identified and dealt with before they become incidents.

Fast onboarding with proper access controls

New starters set up quickly with the right permissions from day one. Leavers removed the same day. No lingering access, no gaps.

How we measure up.

Numbers that matter. Not vanity metrics, but the things that actually affect your day-to-day experience.
