What you are facing

The pressures shaping financial services today

01

DORA and operational resilience

ICT risk management, incident reporting, third-party oversight and resilience testing are now enforceable obligations.

02

AI in regulated decisions

Credit, fraud, underwriting and advice models must be explainable, monitored and governed — the EU AI Act treats many as high-risk.

03

Client assurance at scale

Questionnaires, SOC 2 reports and audits consume teams; clients expect continuous, evidenced compliance.
