IT support for financial firms
In a financial firm, data security and compliance are not an add-on but a condition of operating. We set up IT so it withstands the requirements of regulators, auditors and clients.
Financial firms operate in a regulated sector: they process sensitive client data, are subject to security requirements and must be ready for inspections and audits. What matters here is protection against leaks, documented compliance and certainty that safeguards genuinely work. We run IT with that in mind.
Challenges in this sector
-
Leak of client data
Financial data is the number one target for attackers and the most damaging leak. Without data loss prevention and access control, a single event can destroy client trust.
-
Regulatory requirements
The financial sector is covered by hard security requirements, including NIS2. A lack of compliance is not only a penalty risk but also the loss of the ability to work with some counterparties.
-
Readiness for audits
A regulator, auditor or institutional client can ask about safeguards at any moment. Without organised documentation and processes, demonstrating compliance turns into firefighting.
-
Client security questionnaires
Enterprise clients send detailed security questionnaires before signing a contract. An unprepared firm loses time or the contract.
-
Advanced attacks
Financial firms are attacked deliberately and cleverly: phishing, account takeovers, ransomware. A password and basic antivirus are not enough against such adversaries.
-
Accountability for compliance
The board is accountable for data security and compliance, personally too under NIS2. You need a partner who translates requirements into specific, deployed safeguards.
Services we pick for this sector
AI in finance, without risk to compliance
AI speeds up work in financial firms: analysing documents, handling enquiries, detecting anomalies and preparing reports. The risk appears when sensitive client data ends up in public AI tools, breaching compliance and confidentiality.
We deploy AI in a controlled way: tools that work on your data without sending it outside, a clear policy aligned with the AI Act and sector requirements, and data classification. Thanks to that, the team benefits from AI while compliance and confidentiality are preserved.
Financial firms choose us because we understand that in a regulated sector you must not only have security but also be able to prove it.

Frequently asked questions
Are financial firms subject to NIS2?
A large share are, depending on profile and size. We check whether your firm is covered by the directive and implement the required elements: risk analysis, safeguards and an incident reporting procedure.
How do you protect against a leak of client data?
We combine data loss prevention (DLP), access control, multi-factor authentication and EDR endpoint protection. Only an authorised person can access sensitive data, and data movement is monitored.
Will you help us prepare for an audit or inspection?
Yes. We run a security audit, organise documentation and processes, and prepare the firm for ISO 27001. That way compliance can be demonstrated, not just declared.
Will you complete client security questionnaires?
Yes. We support you in completing security questionnaires from institutional clients and organise safeguards so the answers match reality and do not block the contract.
Do we need an external DPO?
Often yes, especially when you process a lot of sensitive data. We offer DPO outsourcing that combines GDPR knowledge with IT security practice and supports the board in demonstrating compliance.
How do you respond to a security incident?
We monitor the environment 24/7 and respond under an agreed SLA. We have an incident handling procedure, including reporting in line with requirements, damage containment and system recovery.
