We fit around your team and how you work, not the other way round

As much or as little as you need, from a single contained review through to full fractional infrastructure team.

Fintech infrastructure is uniquely demanding. Strict regulatory requirements, high transaction volumes, real-time payment systems, and compliance obligations that touch every layer of your stack.

We take infrastructure off the plate of fintech teams, so your developers can build, your engineers can deliver, and your leadership can focus on growth, not compliance risk.

Over 20 years working with regulated financial businesses. We know the engineer who needs technical depth, the CTO who needs a trusted partner, and the MD who needs to sleep at night.

Infrastructure headaches look different from every seat in the room.

Your CTO or Technical Director needs a partner who can evidence compliance, not just claim it, and who takes accountability when something goes wrong.
Your platform and DevOps engineers need infrastructure that is genuinely managed, with real technical depth behind the support – not a ticket queue staffed by generalists.
Your development team needs environments that are stable, reliable, and out of the way of delivery – not a source of firefighting and deployment risk.
Your operations or delivery manager needs clear ownership, fast escalation paths, and no ambiguity about who is responsible when the platform has a problem.
Your MD or board needs confidence that your infrastructure posture is not a liability, that compliance is evidenced, costs are controlled, and the business is protected.

How Pipe Ten can help

Managed Infrastructure
We provision, manage, and optimise infrastructure across Azure, AWS, and on-premise. Keeping your platforms secure, stable, and performing under the demands of real-time financial applications. High transaction volumes, low-latency requirements, and strict uptime expectations are not edge cases for us. They are standard.

Compliance and Audit Readiness
ISO 27001, PCI DSS, Cyber Essentials Plus – we help you achieve and maintain the certifications your business, your clients, and your regulators require. We work alongside your compliance team to evidence controls, close gaps, and prepare for audit with confidence.

Security Monitoring and Incident Response
Centralised log management, security event monitoring, and 24/7/365 incident response. If something goes wrong, we are already looking at it before you know about it.

Fractional Infrastructure Leadership
Need senior infrastructure expertise without a full-time hire? Our fractional CTO, CISO, and platform specialists integrate with your team to provide technology direction, compliance oversight, and architecture guidance on a model that fits your stage of growth.

FinOps and Cost Management
Cloud spend in regulated environments can quickly spiral. We provide visibility and optimisation across your AWS or Azure estate, identifying waste, right-sizing resources, and giving you clear reporting on where your infrastructure budget is going.

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity
Local and geo-resilient infrastructure, tested recovery processes, and DR aligned to your RTO and RPO requirements. In financial services, recovery time is not just a theoretical metric, we treat it as a business-critical commitment.

CASE STUDY

Real-time payments infrastructure for a UK challenger bank

To participate directly in the Faster Payments network, one of the UK’s leading challenger banks needed infrastructure capable of managing high transaction volumes with unwavering reliability and regulatory compliance.

As partners, we designed, deployed, and managed a secure, resilient infrastructure tailored to the demands of real-time payments – working alongside their compliance, development, and management teams so they could focus on building their product.

Their constant attention to availability, compliance, performance and security has allowed us to better focus on our business and future.
