Finance and Professional Services

In finance and professional services what decides is not physical production but the data you process, the regulatory obligations you carry and the consequences of service interruption.

The questions we ask before producing a result

  1. Which regulatory regimes are you subject to?
  2. Do you process customer or personal data?
  3. How critical is a service interruption for customers and regulators?
  4. Do you operate through agents or intermediaries?
  5. What are your record retention and disclosure obligations?
