Financial services
IT for financial institutions: the compliance deadline has passed. Now it has to be proven.
Banks, payment institutions and credit unions now operate under an updated cybersecurity and cloud-contracting framework — with compliance required by 1 March 2026. The hard part was never writing the policy. It is demonstrating that the environment does what it says.
What we handle inside a financial institution
Not sector talk. It is the set of fronts we handle today, as routine, in a regulated environment.
Demonstrable operational resilience
Being up is not enough: it has to be proven to be working. A stuck queue, a process that never runs and a halted integration produce no error — which is why no monitor reports them.
Cloud contracting with evidence
An inventory of what is contracted, where data is processed, an exit plan and an audit clause — what the rules require on processing, storage and cloud computing.
Cloud cost under control
FinOps across GCP, AWS and Azure: underused commitments, idle environments and waste with a traceable origin behind every number.
Workstation and identity
Entra ID, Intune and Autopilot: a machine that arrives ready, access that leaves when the person leaves, policy applied without depending on reminders.
Change governance
Change control with record, window, rollback plan and executive report. In a regulated environment, a change with no trace is an inspection finding.

How we enter a financial institution
A regulated environment does not accept disruption. The sequence is built to reduce risk while the operation keeps running.
- 01
Assess
A survey of the estate, the cloud, the access model and the integrations — with numbers, not impressions.
- 02
Look for the silence
Before what fails, what should have happened and did not. It is the defect no monitor reports — and the most expensive one in an environment with a deadline.
- 03
Execute in a window
Change under governance, with a rollback plan and communication. A critical system is not an experiment.
- 04
Prove it
A report with the origin of every figure — the same material that serves as the answer to the regulator.
What the institution gains
Evidence instead of declaration
Policy, controls and incidents documented with traceable origin — not assembled in a hurry during inspection week.
A smaller attack surface
Standardised workstations, access cycled on schedule and critical vulnerabilities with a deadline. Cyber risk stops being abstract.
A predictable cloud bill
Commitments sized against real consumption and waste removed with full traceability.
A stoppage that surfaces before the customer
A process that should have run and did not gets detected by counting, not by a complaint from someone outside.
