IT that answers to your regulator
Trading desks, wealth managers, brokers and fintechs run on systems the FCA and PRA expect to be resilient by design. We build managed IT that meets operational-resilience obligations, evidences SMCR accountability and is ready for DORA, without slowing the desk down.
Compliance we build to
- FCA and PRA operational resilience
- DORA
- SMCR
- ISO 27001
The pressure you are under
What keeps this sector up at night
The stakes are specific. We build the stack around the risks that actually matter to your operation.
Operational resilience under scrutiny
The FCA and PRA expect you to map important business services, set impact tolerances and prove you can stay within them. Ad-hoc IT cannot evidence that.
DORA is now in force
ICT risk management, incident reporting and third-party oversight are no longer optional. Your providers are in scope alongside you.
Downtime moves money
A stalled trading platform or a failed settlement window carries a cost measured in minutes. Recovery has to be fast and provable.
SMCR puts a name on it
Senior managers are personally accountable for the systems in their remit. They need clear evidence that controls are working.
A high-value attack surface
Client funds and market-moving data make you a deliberate target for phishing, fraud and ransomware, not opportunistic noise.
Growth outpaces the estate
New desks, acquisitions and product lines add systems faster than most in-house teams can secure and document them.
Our approach
Built for your operating reality
We start with your important business services and impact tolerances, then design the estate to defend them. Monitoring, patching and backup are run to evidence operational resilience, so an FCA or PRA review finds a clear audit trail rather than a scramble. DORA readiness is treated as a programme, covering ICT risk management, incident reporting and third-party oversight, with Bebco documented as a controlled provider. Every change is logged so senior managers can show their controls are working under SMCR.
