The financial services sector is heavily dependent on fast, reliable and robust IT systems. With almost, if not all data stored digitally, financial service businesses must be equipped with the right infrastructure to fulfil all required capabilities.

Our experienced technical team will implement any changes you wish to make, installing new software or making changes to the IT infrastructure if necessary.

Cyber And IT Security In Financial Services

In terms of risk, cyber-attacks are a key concern for the financial services sector. Being heavily reliant on various systems to store sensitive and confidential information means highly sophisticated cyber security is essential. This security must not only be the right type to fully protect your data but must also be installed properly, maintained and routinely tested.

We work with businesses across the UK to conduct risk assessments and implement robust cyber security solutions tailored to the needs of your company.

Why choose Pro Drive IT?

You don’t need us to tell you that the security of your client and company data relies on a robust IT system provided by experienced professionals; it’s a given in the financial services industry. That’s what we’re proud to offer here at Pro Drive IT; an experienced partner for financial service providers that can offer strong cyber security provisions, 24/7 IT support, and an ability to develop strategies for the future, with cloud-based solutions that keep your whole team connected.

By understanding what your business, your employees, and your clients and customers need, our IT support can be tailored to cover all bases. That includes disaster strategies and business continuity plans in the event of downtime, cyber-security audits that highlight threats and vulnerabilities, and the implementation of cloud-based storage to replace legacy systems.

Our process

When working with a financial service provider on their IT infrastructure, we’ll cover the following:

Getting to know you and your customers

It’s crucial that we gain an understanding of how your business works currently, how you’d like it to work going forward, and the goals that you and your team are aiming for. We’ll spend as much time as possible getting to know the ins and outs of your business so that we can best serve you with our IT support.

Understanding your current IT set up

By benchmarking where you’re at currently, we’ll be able to highlight improvements that could remove frustrations, and ramp up productivity. At this point, we can take the time to understand any concerns you have about upgrading, challenges you believe could be addressed with IT support, and areas in which you could be leaving your business open to cyber threats.

Strategy

With everything we’ve learned, we’ll be able to put a bespoke plan in place designed to bring your IT systems up-to-date, and perform in a way that will positively impact your team, your processes, your compliance, and your customers. We’ll have taken those goals that we mentioned earlier on board in order to provide you with solutions that seek to reach them.

Action

It’s at this stage that we begin to implement the plan, with as little disruption as possible to your everyday activities.

Ongoing maintenance and upgrades

Once the plan has been implemented, our work doesn’t stop there; we’ll keep working with you to ensure systems are maintained and updated regularly. Not only this, but as your business grows, so too will your need for IT support, so the plan we implemented initially can be added to as your operations and technology itself develops.
