Secure

Building Confidence Through Defence in Depth

Why Web Application Security Matters

• Over 200 nationally significant cyberattacks have been reported in the UK over the last 12 months, including 12 classed as the most severe (The Times)
• A recent leak exposed over 19 billion passwords, 94% of which were reused across accounts (New York Post)
• Marks & Spencer suffered a cyberattack disrupting online operations, costing an estimated £60 million in lost profits and over £1 billion in market value (Reuters)
• UK Legal Aid Agency experienced a breach compromising approximately 2.1 million pieces of sensitive personal data, including criminal records and financial information (The Times)

These are not abstract statistics. They reflect real threats affecting real businesses.

Secure by Design for Fintech

Fintech platforms face unique risks:

• Regulatory exposure:
  • Financial regulation: FCA, PRA, FOS, PSR, CISI, CMA, DORA
  • Data protection and privacy: ICO, GDPR, UK Data Protection Act (DPA), Cyber Essentials, NCSC
  • Payments and financial crime: PCI DSS, AML, POCA, SMCR, HMRC
  • Sector-specific standards: Open Banking/OBIE, Operational Resilience
• Customer data confidentiality and integrity
• Rapid onboarding of new team members and vendors
• Third-party and supply chain vulnerabilities
• Fraud, financial crime, and phishing threats
• Platform availability, resilience, and incident response
• Insider threats, privilege misuse, and unauthorised access
• Change management and deployment risk
• Reputational risk from security or compliance failures

We help you design secure environments that meet regulatory expectations while enabling continuous delivery. From encrypted backups to alerting, role-based access, and secure tunnels to data providers, security is part of the architecture from day one.
