IT Infrastructure for Financial Services
Audit-ready logging, encryption, and change control that survives a regulator's questions.
Designed against
- SOC 2
- ISO 27001
- PCI DSS
- GLBA
- DORA
We build and document to these frameworks. We are not an audit firm and do not issue attestations.
- 01
Every change has to be explainable months later
An examiner asks who changed what, when, who approved it and what the rollback was. Without records produced as a by-product of the work, reconstructing that history takes weeks.
- 02
Access creep is the finding that keeps recurring
People move teams and keep old permissions. The gap between the access policy and what is actually provisioned is where most audit findings live.
- 03
Backup evidence, not backup jobs
A green tick proves a job ran. It does not prove the data is recoverable, and that distinction is what an auditor or an insurer presses on.
Controls, not features
Each of these produces its own evidence as a by-product of running normally, so the proof exists before anyone asks for it.
- Immutable audit logging with defined retention, shipped off the host that generates it
- Change records with approver, rationale and rollback captured at the time of the change
- Role-based access with scheduled reviews and same-day leaver de-provisioning
- Encryption in transit and at rest, with documented key custody
- Quarterly restore tests, evidenced in writing rather than asserted
- Segregated production and non-production environments with no shared credentials
Cloud & Hosting
Move to the cloud without the surprise bill, and stay there with an engineer watching it around the clock.
Server Management
Servers that are patched, monitored and documented, so nobody on your team has to become the accidental sysadmin.
Managed Services
A full IT department on a flat monthly fee, with a named engineer who knows your setup.

About Financial Services
Ask Something ElseThe evidence is a by-product of running the infrastructure properly: access reviews, change logs, patch reports and restore tests, produced on a schedule rather than assembled in a panic. We are not an audit firm and issue no attestations.
Residency is a design constraint from the first diagram, not a setting changed later. We deploy where your obligations require and document where each class of data lives, including backups and logs, which is where residency is most often breached by accident.
Send it. We answer them directly rather than deflecting, and where the honest answer is that a control is not yet in place we say so and tell you what compensating control we would put around it.
