In today’s regulated and critical financial industry, technology isn’t just a nice-to-have - it’s the foundation of your business. From regulatory compliance to customer trust, every decision depends on secure, reliable IT systems. At Evolve, we specialize in cyber security and IT support for financial services, helping organisations and their suppliers stay resilient, compliant, and competitive.
Understanding Your Challenges
Financial institutions face unique pressures:
- Strict regulatory requirements
- Rising cyber threats
- Increasing demands to demonstrate compliance
- Need for seamless digital experiences
Cyber attacks on financial services firms are here to stay. Orange Cybedefense reports that nearly 6 in 10 (58%) of large UK financial services firms suffered at least one third-party supply chain attack in 2024, with 23% being targeted three or more times. And with cloud adoption and remote work, risks multiply. Our services for the financial industry are designed to address these challenges:
- Our Consulting service helps you analyse your cyber risks and chose appropriate actions
- Our Protection and Service Plans provide all the options you need to implement the technology and processes to meet the stringent requirements of the Financial Services industry
How We Can Help
We’ve helped numerous financial service firms develop and implement an extensive cyber security posture in response to extensive client due diligence and new regulations:
- InTouch Capital Markets needed help navigating a flurry of requests from new and existing clients to comply with EU DORA. We drafted policies, responded to due diligence questionnaires, recommended and implemented new tools, established ongoing compliance procedures and assessed their supply chain.
- We supported Arum when they came under intense scrutiny from their biggest high street bank client. We developed policies and procedures, implemented an advanced Microsoft 365 environment, deployed the necessary tools to enhance their protection, represented them in an annual intensive 4-day audit, created an internal safe & secure news site to keep colleagues aware and cyber security front-of-mind, translated cyber intelligence into meaningful actions to maintain their protection, sat on their Risk Committee and took responsibility for the technology aspects of their Risk Register.

Cybersecurity for Financial Services
Cybercrime is one of the biggest threats to banking and finance. Attackers target sensitive data, exploit vulnerabilities, and disrupt operations - often with devastating consequences. Cybersecurity for financial services is at the heart of everything we do.
As our M.D. David says “The ‘bad guys’ get in through the cracks”. Hackers don’t brute force their way in, they take advantage of the gaps in your defences. That means that while great cyber security relies on technological know-how it is nothing without diligent maintenance. It requires a highly organised approach applied relentlessly.
For most industries that is enough, but in Financial Services, for compliance reasons, you also need to be able to meet regulations and demonstrate your credentials. Whether that is to satisfy FCA or PRA rules; for other regulatory reasons such as GDPR or DORA; to meet a particular security framework, such as ISO2700 or Cyber Essentials ; for internal or external audits; or to satisfy customers and other stakeholders during due diligence activity.
Our plans are designed around the concept of ‘relentless protection’, a combination of:
- Tools implemented effectively
- Detailed processes followed diligently
- Continuous improvement of tools and processes
- Regular relevant communication and education
- Activity diligently documented to demonstrate compliance
This is built into how we operate and is reflected in our values. That enables us to help you build a culture of security, ensuring your people, processes, and platforms work together to protect your business. Whether you need cyber security for banking or broader financial sector protection, Evolve has you covered.
