Financial Services IT Demands a Higher Standard
Financial services firms – whether IFAs, wealth managers, mortgage brokers, insurance businesses or investment firms – operate under FCA regulation and face strict obligations around data security, client confidentiality and operational resilience. At the same time, they depend on specialist software platforms that must be available, reliable and secure at all times.
Blowfish Technology understands the regulatory environment that financial services firms operate in. We provide IT support that’s built around FCA compliance, client data protection and the continuity requirements that regulated businesses must meet – giving you an IT partner that understands your obligations, not just your technology.
Targeted Phishing and Fraud
Financial services firms are among the most targeted organisations for phishing attacks, credential theft and business email compromise – attackers follow the money.
FCA Operational Resilience
The FCA’s operational resilience requirements mean firms must be able to demonstrate their ability to stay operational through disruptions – including IT incidents and cyber attacks.
Client Data Obligations
The financial data you hold is subject to strict GDPR, FCA and sector-specific data protection requirements. A breach has regulatory, financial and reputational consequences.
Platform and Software Reliability
CRM platforms, back-office systems and financial planning software must be available whenever your advisers and clients need them – downtime directly impacts revenue.
