Banking & Finance

Banks juggle the hardest enterprise problems at once — modernising legacy under regulatory watch, matching fintech-grade customer experience, and putting AI to work inside the core.

Schedule Consultation See the challenges
Industry Overview

Modern banking is a regulated transformation programme.

BFSI institutions operate under unprecedented pressure: DORA-grade operational resilience, board-reported cyber posture, and the customer-experience expectations set by digital-only challengers. Behind every initiative is the same constraint — change at speed without losing the audit trail.

Key Challenges

The pressure points this sector lives with.

Operational Resilience Mandates

DORA, FFIEC, and PRA guidance turning resilience from periodic exercise into continuous evidence.

Legacy Modernisation Under Audit

Mainframe and middleware estates that auditors trust, customers complain about, and engineers can no longer hire for.

Privileged Access at Scale

12,000+ privileged accounts across cloud, vendors, and legacy — none vaulted, all targeted.

Cyber on the Board Agenda

Quarterly cyber reporting, real-time incident exposure, and a personal-accountability regime.

Cloud Cost Control

AWS / Azure spend climbing faster than transaction volumes — without explanation.

Identity-Driven Threats

80% of breaches start with credentials; phishing-resistant MFA still not universal.

Business Outcomes

Outcomes we help deliver.

Operational Resilience DORA-aligned controls with continuous evidence Predictable Cloud Economics FinOps governance to flatten the cost curve Faster Programme Delivery Wave-based migration with regulatory evidence Audit-Ready Compliance Continuous audit evidence, not annual scramble Reduced Identity Risk Privileged access vaulted at enterprise scale

Case Studies

Programmes delivered in this sector.

BFSI 35% infrastructure cost reduction

Tier-1 Bank Migrated 200+ Workloads in 18 Months

Challenge

Original 5-year migration plan with single-stream sequencing was unacceptable to the board after a competitor moved faster.

Solution

Re-planned as wave-based with 6 parallel workstreams, reference architectures, and audit-evidence automation embedded into landing zones.

Outcome

200+ workloads migrated in 18 months. Zero unplanned downtime during cutover. 35% infrastructure cost reduction.

BFSI 92% reduction in lateral movement risk

Bank Deployed Zero-Trust for 8,000 Users

Challenge

Legacy VPN was the single largest source of perimeter compromises and lateral movement risk. Compliance team flagged it as a board-level finding.

Solution

Replaced VPN with ZTNA across 14 critical applications. Continuous posture assessment with adaptive MFA. Privileged session brokering for vendor access.

Outcome

92% reduction in lateral movement risk. Zero VPN-related incidents in 12 months. Audit finding closed.
