  • Operate the IT infrastructure necessary to stay secure, reliable, and resilient at all times
  • Close any gaps that exist between existing GRC policies and what industry regulators require as soon as possible
  • Operate secure supply chains to minimise the risk of inherited cyber security incidents

How we protect financial and professional service organisations

These industries are unique in regard to their competitiveness, pace of technology adoption, and demanding regulatory landscape. Our expertise in cyber security, network infrastructure, and GRC enables these organisations to successfully plan their future IT with high levels of confidence

Looking after today: a relentless focus on both security and infrastructure

By their very nature, financial and professional service organisations hold and transfer large amounts of sensitive data every day. Through our Best Practice Assessments, we identify not only security, but often overlooked internal IT infrastructure configuration vulnerabilities, which are just as likely to affect business continuity due to ever the increasing demands and tooling being added to drive efficiencies.

Looking to the future: assessing the viability and risk of emerging technologies

Financial institutions not only have to grapple with how to employ and protect their current technologies, but they also need to consider systems to strengthen their business in the future through automation, scalability, and cost savings. Our Infrastructure Best Practice Assessments identify existing weaknesses in an organisations’ IT infrastructure today that could derail plans tomorrow, and advise on proactive remediation, giving you the confidence your future IT aspirations and big investment decisions are underpinned by solid foundations.

We move quickly without sales people

When it comes to securing financial and professional service organisations, we know speed matters. Unlike most other cyber security providers, your main point of contact will be the technical expert leading your engagement. This means no delays while a sales person checks technical details or the delivery calendar for when your project can begin.

Solution Benefits

  • Ensure technologies under consideration are compatible with current capabilities - IT infrastructure in financial organisations can come under pressure to rapidly onboard new technologies to make customers' lives more convenient, deliver added value, or drive cost efficiencies. We are highly experienced in ensuring any new technologies being introduced to infrastructure are compatible with your existing security posture and real world operational capabilities.
  • Close the gaps between existing GRC policies and what industry regulators demand - Compliance demands for financial and professional service organisations are extensive. DORA, PCI DSS, NIS2, ISO 27001, and GDPR are just some of the essential standards that must be met and maintained. We simplify business continuity by enabling real time visibility of risks via a single, easy-to-use platform, and provide access to top-tier experienced GRC leadership without enterprise costs.
  • Ensure the right metrics and risk reporting frameworks are in place - Can you, and do you, accurately and confidently measure against your risk appetite, and are you able to provide evidence of proactive best practise when it comes to the protection of your customers' data to regulators and board level executives? These are big questions for any organisation, and if you are unsure or require validation, we are just a phone call away.
  • Reduce the risk (and costs) of delays - Remediation of weaknesses in IT infrastructure, security posture, or gaps in GRC policies to the satisfaction of multiple stakeholders are not quick fixes. Planning ahead to map future commercial demands and technology adoption against your existing real world capabilities and limitations takes risk out of big strategic decisions.

How It Works

We combine cyber security, network infrastructure, and GRC expertise to help uncover, explain, and fix IT risks in the context of financial / professional service operations, helping to you identify your biggest wins and make the most effective investment and strategic decisions.

  • Stage 1 - Fact finding with your team - Our team will meet with yours on a free scoping call to give us the best possible understanding of your current operational strengths and weaknesses. Given the pace of evolving technologies and pressure to take them up in the never ending search for efficiency gains and competitive advantage, we will also ask about your future roadmap and strategies to stay ahead of your competition.
  • Stage 2 - Engagement execution - Whether it is a Best Practice Assessment on your infrastructure, penetration test on your web applications, or a thorough review of your GRC policies and processes, our team will work hard and diligently, keeping you updated every step of the way.
  • Stage 3 - Reporting, reviewing, remediating, and improving - However we help you become more secure or resilient, our reporting will be extremely detailed, thoroughly explaining the vulnerabilities discovered or the operational improvements that will make you more efficient. Once you have had a chance to read the report, the technical expert leading your engagement will host a call to review the findings collaboratively with your internal stakeholders, answer any questions your team may have regarding risk implications, costs, and timescales and prioritise the next steps on the journey.
