Cybersecurity for financial services
Protect your customers' sensitive data with one cyber risk management platform for Cyber Essentials, device protection, supplier visibility and staff training.
Clients trust you with their money and their data. Regulators expect you to protect both. Show them you can, without building a security team.
Attacks on financial services are rising
Why?
Financial services consistently ranks among the most breached sectors. Over 64% of financial institutions reported a cybersecurity incident in 2024.
The problem
Financial Services providers process vast amounts of sensitive personal and financial data, making them a key target for cybercriminals.
Yet, many firms lack the technical staff for traditional enterprise solutions or a means of ensuring third-party suppliers are secure.
This is where CyberSmart can help.
How we can help
Gain year-round protection from cyber threats
Protect your staff, systems and customer data with our compliance, assurance and threat detection software.
Active Protect checks every laptop, desktop and phone across your firm, including advisers working remotely or on their own devices, and guides staff to fix risks in minutes. A live view of your security, not a once-a-year snapshot.
Secure your supply chain
Financial services firms are prime targets for third-party and supply chain attacks. Get complete visibility over your suppliers' security.
Monitor suppliers' security on a simple traffic-light dashboard and help them get Cyber Essentials certified. When a regulator or client asks how you manage third-party risk, you'll have the answer. You're only as strong as your weakest supplier.
Close the gaps with effortless patching
Reduce vulnerabilities by keeping third-party software up to date with new security patches automatically.
Browsers, PDF readers, video calling and productivity apps stay updated across Windows and Mac, with a full patch history for every device. That also helps you meet the Cyber Essentials 14-day patching rule without the manual effort. Known vulnerabilities, closed automatically.
Give your people the skills to protect your business
Most breaches start with a human mistake.* Our simple, proven cyber awareness training gives your people the skills to protect your clients and your firm.
Short modules and realistic phishing simulations teach staff to spot the scams financial firms face most, from fake client requests to changed bank details. One convincing email can move a client's money. Trained people stop it.
Enforce security policy compliance
Distribute security policies across your firm and track who has read and agreed to them.
Start from ready-made templates covering data protection, data classification, IT access and security awareness, and see acceptance at a glance for every member of staff. When your compliance officer, auditor or regulator asks for evidence, it's ready. Policies signed, not just filed.
