Financial Services
Technology that satisfies examiners and protects customers
Banks, credit unions, lenders and wealth managers carry two obligations at once: keep money and data safe against well-funded attackers, and prove it to examiners on demand. We build security, identity and recovery programs that meet both, without slowing the products your customers rely on.
Sector pressures
What makes IT different here
Fraud and account takeover
Criminals target customers and staff with phishing, credential stuffing and business email compromise. Strong identity controls and continuous monitoring are now baseline expectations.
Examination and audit load
Regulators, auditors and partner banks each ask for evidence in a different format. Teams lose weeks assembling proof of controls that should already be on file.
Third-party and fintech risk
Core processors, fintech partners and cloud providers hold your data. Oversight of their security is your responsibility, and examiners expect a documented vendor program.
Availability expectations
Customers expect online banking and payments to work every hour. Outages and ransomware recovery times are judged against resilience requirements, not good intentions.
Regulations & frameworks
The standards we help you meet
- GLBA Safeguards Rule
- Requires financial institutions to maintain a written information security program protecting customer information, with risk assessment, access controls, encryption, monitoring and oversight of service providers.
- FFIEC IT Examination Handbook
- Guidance used by US banking regulators to examine information security, operations, business continuity and third-party risk management at supervised institutions.
- PCI DSS
- The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard sets technical and operational requirements for any organization that stores, processes or transmits cardholder data.
- SOX IT general controls
- For public companies, Sarbanes-Oxley expects effective controls over systems that affect financial reporting, including access management, change control and operations.
- NIST CSF
- A widely used framework organizing cybersecurity into identify, protect, detect, respond, recover and govern functions, often used to structure regulatory evidence.
Our approach
How we work with financial services organizations
- 1
Map controls to obligations
We translate GLBA, FFIEC and PCI DSS requirements into a single control set, identify gaps and sequence fixes by risk, so you prepare for examinations once rather than repeatedly.
- 2
Harden identity and monitor continuously
Phishing-resistant authentication, privileged access controls and 24/7 SOC monitoring address the attacks most likely to hit financial institutions.
- 3
Prove resilience
Recovery objectives, immutable backups and rehearsed failover give you measured evidence that critical services return within the times your board approved.
- 4
Keep evidence ready
Vendor oversight, access reviews and change records are captured as work happens, giving examiners and auditors clear documentation without a last-minute scramble.

Case study
Proof from your sector
Do you work with community banks and credit unions?
Yes. Many of our financial clients are community institutions with lean IT teams that need examiner-ready security without building a full security department.
Can you help us prepare for a regulatory examination?
We assess your controls against the relevant guidance, close gaps, assemble evidence and support your team through the process. We prepare you for the review; the examiner makes the determination.
How do you handle vendor and fintech risk?
We build a vendor inventory, tier suppliers by data sensitivity, standardize due-diligence questionnaires and track remediation, so you can show active oversight.
Is PCI DSS in scope for us?
If you store, process or transmit card data, or can affect its security, it is. We help narrow the scope through segmentation and tokenization, then align remaining controls to the standard.
