FAQ

IT support for financial services firms: FAQs

Straight answers to the questions we are asked most often. Anything else, just ask.

Ask us a question →

Do you understand FCA expectations around technology?

We provide the technology controls, resilience planning and documentation that support FCA expectations such as operational resilience. Regulatory compliance remains your firm's responsibility, and we work alongside your compliance team or consultants.

Can you help us answer due-diligence questionnaires?

Yes. We supply the technical answers and evidence that platforms, providers and clients ask for, and help close any gaps the questionnaires reveal.

Do you support small firms and family offices?

Yes. Many smaller finance businesses need the same standard of security as larger firms without an internal IT team. Our managed service is designed for exactly that.

How do you protect advisers who work remotely?

Managed and encrypted devices, multi-factor authentication, conditional access rules and secure Microsoft 365 configuration mean advisers can work safely wherever they are.

How do you make sure we can recover from an outage?

We put backups and recovery plans in place, test restores, and document how key systems would be brought back, so recovery is planned rather than improvised.
