Cybersecurity & Operational Resilience
The same defensibility discipline, applied to security and resilience controls
The rigorous, evidence-based approach that proves a fraud rule would stand up to a regulator, applied to the security and operational-resilience controls that move money and protect customers — so you can show which controls exist, who owns them, that they have been tested, and that they map to the regulation each implements.
Control Assurance
ScanningImportant business services
Mapped & prioritised
Access & identity controls
Who can reach what
Third-party dependencies
Vendor concentration
Backup & recovery tested
Restored in tolerance
Incident response evidence
Logged, owned, traced
A control is only assured when its evidence is current. Missing evidence is reported as “cannot attest” — never as assured.
How it works
Defensibility, applied to security controls
01
The same standard, applied to security
The same evidence-forward, repeatable approach behind our fraud and AI defensibility work, applied to cyber and operational-resilience controls — documented and traceable, with every decision open to inspection.
02
Regulatory accountability first
We focus on the controls a firm has to be able to evidence to the FCA, the PRA, or an auditor — the intersection of security and accountability, not the whole of information security.
03
Evidence, not paperwork
The aim is the same across our work: prove a control would stand up to a regulator, an auditor, or a board — with documented rationale and a traceable record, not a framework that sits unused on a shelf.
Where it focuses
The controls you have to be able to evidence
The focus is the intersection of security and regulatory accountability — the controls a firm must be able to evidence under operational-resilience and financial-crime expectations, using the same rigorous approach that underpins our fraud and AML rule defensibility flagship.
Operational resilience
Defensibility around the controls that keep important business services running — each mapped to the obligation it implements and the evidence that it works, within impact tolerances.
Control assurance
A reproducible record of which security controls exist, who owns them, when they were last tested, and where the evidence is missing.
Third-party & change risk
Where critical controls depend on vendors or change over time, a structure for showing they remain adequate, owned, and accountable.
Start the process
Make your security and resilience controls defensible
A short discussion is usually enough to identify where control evidence is weakest and what needs to change first. If fraud and AML rules are your priority, our flagship is the place to start.
