Financial services
Cloud infrastructure for regulated financial institutions — banks, fintechs, insurers, and payment processors operating under PCI DSS, CBI, FCA, and EBA expectations.
Financial services organisations have cloud requirements that differ from the general enterprise in a few specific ways: data residency obligations, regulatory audit expectations, and a risk appetite that treats downtime and data exposure differently from most industries.
We have run cloud-migration and managed-cloud engagements for Irish and UK financial institutions from credit unions to publicly-listed fintechs. In every case, the engagement has included explicit regulatory alignment work — not just technical infrastructure, but evidence-ready configuration documentation and audit support.
Common engagement patterns include: migrating a core banking application from on-premises to a hybrid cloud deployment with explicit data-residency configuration; building a PCI DSS-scoped card-processing environment on AWS with explicit isolation from the broader estate; and implementing continuous security posture management for a Series B fintech preparing for its first SOC 2 audit.
We are familiar with Central Bank of Ireland IT risk guidance, FCA cloud outsourcing expectations, and EBA guidelines on cloud outsourcing. We include regulatory-alignment documentation as a standard deliverable in financial-services engagements.
