Always Connected. Always Available. Always Secure.
Financial services are now interconnected in a way that would have been inconceivable just a decade ago, with customers accessing their data through an evolving range of channels and platforms, supply chains extending round the globe, and seamless flows of data taking place on a 24 / 7 basis. However, these service transformations have brought with them a range of new challenges around security, compliance, and operational resilience - all of which must be given careful consideration if public confidence in the sector is to be maintained.
Exponential-e is working closely with firms across the country to help them navigate this journey, translating the complexities of the cyber security and regulatory landscapes into actionable opportunities to futureproof infrastructure and transform the way financial services are delivered.
Security, Compliance, Third-Party Risk, and Recoverability Are Converging.
Four connected pressures are reshaping how financial firms secure, govern, and modernise their digital foundations.
Cyber Security Is Now a Boardroom-Level Priority.
Compliance Obligations Are Expanding.
Third-Party Risk Cannot Be Ignored.
“It’s Not If, It’s When…”
How Do We Improve Operational Resilience for Financial Firms?
As a longstanding technology partner for numerous firms, we are keenly aware of the finance sector’s specific requirements around operational resilience and security, along with the increasing complexity of associated frameworks and regulations. In our role as a systems integrator, we not only design our solution wraps with these standards in mind, but provide hands-on cyber security advisory support to help embed best practice at every level of an organisation. This includes critical service mapping, resilience assessments, supplier governance, and support around audit processes for key frameworks and accreditations.
Know What Applies. Understand What to Do Next.
Answer three questions to identify the cyber regulations, frameworks and standards your organisation should consider, why they matter, and the security capabilities that can help you respond.
Find Your Framework Map.
Three quick questions turn a complex compliance landscape into a practical starting point.

Answers to the practical technology, security, resilience and compliance questions facing financial services organisations.
For organisations within scope of the DORA, compliance centres on managing ICT risk, incident management and reporting, digital operational resilience testing, and oversight of ICT third-party risk. Applicability depends on the organisation, activities and jurisdictions involved. Our Cyber Security Advisory Services can help assess the technical security and resilience posture, while our Framework Selector provides a practical starting point for exploring relevant cyber frameworks and standards.
Reducing third-party risk requires clear supplier governance, proportionate due diligence, ongoing monitoring, and evidence that critical suppliers can meet the security and resilience requirements expected of your organisation. Exponential-e works with a carefully selected network of technology partners and maintains independently audited standards across security, service management and business continuity. Explore our accreditations and standards.
Exponential-e’s approach to any infrastructure modernisation project is a consultative, collaborative one, taking into account both digital and operational goals, and firms’ specific security and compliance obligations. The process begins with a rigorous audit of legacy systems and processes, based on which a bespoke, vendor-agnostic solution wrap will be proposed, with the highest standards of compliance inherent in the design.
Our approach to hybrid Cloud design and deployments depends entirely on the customer’s specific security, compliance, and operational requirements, utilising public and private platforms in whichever way will best support these requirements. This includes the use of geographically diverse, UK-sovereign data centres, air-gapped, immutable backups, and next-gen SASE solutions that combine networking and security technologies. Explore Cloud sovereignty.
IAM can be strengthened by centralising identity management, applying role-based access controls, enforcing strong authentication, and continuously monitoring and auditing access. Exponential-e’s Identity and Access Management services include granular access control, authentication and Cloud-based identity management.
Recovery from ransomware depends on tested recovery processes and protected recovery data so critical services can be restored as quickly and safely as possible. Exponential-e’s Ransomware Defender supports isolated recovery capabilities, while DRaaS provides managed replication, failover, failback and recovery testing.
AI initiatives within financial services require clear governance over where sensitive data is stored, processed and accessed. Secure adoption should consider data sovereignty, access control, workload placement, resilience and the risks associated with public AI platforms. Explore Sovereign AI Platforms and Cloud Sovereignty.
Protecting customer data requires layered controls across identities, endpoints, networks, Cloud platforms and operational processes. Exponential-e combines Identity and Access Management, Endpoint Protection, cyber monitoring, and secure infrastructure to improve visibility and control while supporting audit and governance.
Evidence will depend on the applicable regulator and framework, but can include documented critical services, tested incident and recovery plans, supplier governance, audit records, and clearly defined RTO and RPO targets. Independently audited standards such as ISO 27001 and ISO 22301 can also provide relevant assurance. View Exponential-e’s accreditations and explore DRaaS.
