IT for Businesses That
Can't Afford to Get It Wrong.
FCA-regulated firms, IFAs, accountants, and legal practices operate under intense scrutiny. Your IT must be as compliant, secure, and auditable as the advice you give.
We understand what
the FCA expects.
FCA regulation brings specific IT obligations around data security, business continuity, and operational resilience. Many IT providers don't understand these requirements, let alone help you meet them. We do.
Whether you're a directly-authorised IFA, an appointed representative, a wealth management firm, or a firm operating under SMCR, we design and manage IT infrastructure that supports your compliance posture, not just your operations.

We work alongside your compliance team or consultant to ensure your IT meets the technical requirements of your regulatory obligations.
The technical side of
your compliance picture.
Regulatory obligations have a significant IT component. Here's where we typically add the most value for regulated firms.
Cyber Essentials Certification
Many regulated firms are required, or strongly expected, to hold Cyber Essentials. We manage the entire process: gap analysis, remediation, and certification support.
Business Continuity & DR
FCA Operational Resilience rules require documented, tested continuity arrangements. We design and implement BC/DR that stands up to scrutiny.
Access Controls & MFA
Enforced MFA, role-based access controls, and privileged access management to reduce your attack surface and satisfy auditor requirements.
Email Security & Archiving
Regulated communication archiving, DKIM/SPF/DMARC configuration, and anti-phishing controls. Keep client communications compliant and recoverable.
Audit Trails & Logging
Centralised logging, SIEM alerting, and audit trails that satisfy both internal governance requirements and potential FCA requests for information.
Data Classification & DLP
Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels, data loss prevention policies, and clear data handling procedures aligned to your GDPR obligations.

Your clients trust you with their financial futures. They need to be able to reach you, and your systems need to be working when they do.
