The IT and security challenges facing financial services firms

Financial services firms hold exactly the data attackers want — client portfolios, bank details and identity documents — and answer to regulators who expect operational resilience. Atlas Cloud keeps your systems secure, available and auditable so your advisers can focus on clients.

Key Challenges You Face

Client financial data

Portfolios, bank details and ID documents make advisers and brokers a prime target. A breach means FCA scrutiny, ICO action and lost client trust.

FCA and audit expectations

Regulators, networks and institutional partners all want evidence of strong controls, resilience and incident response — not just a policy document.

Advisers working anywhere

Advisers meet clients at home, in branches and on the road. Access has to be secure on every device without slowing them down.

Impersonation and payment fraud

Email impersonation and payment-diversion attacks target finance firms constantly. One successful attempt can cost more than a year of IT.

Downtime you cannot afford

Outages stop advice and trading, damage reputation and attract regulatory attention under operational resilience rules.

How Atlas Cloud Helps

Proven security standards

ISO 27001 certified with UK data centres, and we have passed audits set by MBNA and Bank of America.

Cyber Essentials certification

We are a Cyber Essentials Certification Body. We get you certified, keep you certified and give you the evidence auditors and partners ask for.

Secure remote access

Multi-factor authentication, managed devices and conditional access so advisers work anywhere without client data leaving your control.

Disaster recovery in minutes

Zerto-powered disaster recovery with a maximum of 15 minutes downtime and data loss measured in seconds.

Email threat protection

Mimecast-powered protection against impersonation, malicious links and attachments — the most common route into finance firms.

Why financial services firms choose Atlas Cloud

Built for organisations that answer to a regulator

We specialise in professional services firms that handle sensitive client data and answer to a regulator — financial services, law firms, chambers and accountants. We have supported financial services firms since 2010.

As a Cyber Essentials Certification Body we have audited over 3,000 organisations. We know what regulators, auditors, insurers and institutional partners look for, and we build it in rather than bolt it on.

We act as an extension of your firm. A named account manager, quarterly reviews with your directors, and a technology roadmap that supports your compliance obligations — not a sales call at renewal.

Common questions from financial services firms

Yes. As a Cyber Essentials Certification Body we run the gap analysis, fix what is missing and award the certificate ourselves. We can usually get you there in a few weeks.
