Cybersecurity in Finance and Public Sector

The increasing digitisation of systems and processes within financial services and the public sector has meant security testing has never been more important. Our security testing services will highlight any flaws that could leave your organisation vulnerable to cyber-attack.

Particularly for financial services, cybercriminals know exactly where the money is and will use their skills to exploit any security weaknesses. Building secure systems and conducting regular security testing will help you identify these areas before malicious forces cause damage.

Alongside our traditional IT security testing, we have the skills and expertise to test embedded systems, ATMs and Point-of-Sale devices.

Most public sector and financial services cyber-attacks are caused by phishing and/or social engineering. Whether it’s a phishing email targeting your Chief Financial Officer to approve an ‘urgent’ payment, or an email sent to your CEO with a malicious attachment, it can be easy for a cybercriminal to take advantage of organisations who aren’t aware of the risks.

We offer a range of consultancy services to test your cybersecurity posture. Our technical experts can plan and conduct bespoke social engineering exercises to truly test the awareness of your employees.

As a financial services or public sector organisation, one of your top priorities (and legal obligations) is to protect the assets of your clients. Whether it’s their payment card details or personally identifiable information, these assets are at risk of being monetised by cybercriminals if they gain access to the data through your security vulnerabilities.

Are you aware of the information management processes in place? Do you know what your most important data assets are? Our consultants can work with your organisation across a variety of governance, risk and compliance topics ranging from PCI DSS, GDPR and NISD, to threat assessment and vendor management.
