What we cover

Cyber security built around financial services

Banks, wealth managers, IFAs, brokers and fintech firms handle highly regulated, high-value data. FCA obligations, operational resilience and airtight security aren't optional — and downtime or a breach can be existential.

Foresight delivers layered cyber security tailored to financial services: Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus, 24/7 monitoring and threat detection, vulnerability management, secure remote working, Microsoft 365 hardening and staff awareness training — all mapped to FCA operational resilience and UK GDPR obligations. Protection that’s proportionate to your risk and your budget.
