Financial Services
Resilient, regulation-ready IT infrastructure for financial services firms operating under FCA oversight, built to protect client assets and keep trading floors running.
The Challenge
Financial services firms face a unique convergence of regulatory pressure, sophisticated cyber threats and the need for always-on systems that leave zero room for downtime.
FCA Operational Resilience
The FCA requires firms to identify important business services and set impact tolerances. Your IT must demonstrate it can remain within those tolerances under stress.
DORA Compliance
The Digital Operational Resilience Act introduces stringent ICT risk management, incident reporting and third-party oversight requirements that demand infrastructure-level changes.
Cyber Threats Targeting Financial Data
Financial firms are prime targets for ransomware, phishing and advanced persistent threats. A single breach can trigger regulatory action, client losses and reputational damage.
Legacy Trading Systems
Ageing on-premises platforms and bespoke trading applications create integration headaches, security blind spots and escalating maintenance costs that hold your firm back.
Secure Remote Working
Hybrid workforces accessing sensitive financial data from home and on the move need secure, performant connectivity without compromising compliance or user experience.
