Identity and Access Management built for financial services
Banking, payments, and insurance carry some of the highest identity risk of any sector — the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), PCI DSS, and regulator expectations all converge on the same question: who has access to what, and can you prove it on demand?
Why this sector is different
Financial services firms don't just need good access control — they need evidenced access control. Regulators, auditors, and cyber insurers all expect the same thing: a defensible paper trail showing who had access to what, why, and who approved it, for every system that touches money or customer data.
Three pressures show up more acutely here than almost anywhere else: DORA's explicit focus on third-party and ICT vendor access, the sheer concentration of privileged access around core banking and payment systems, and the operational reality of running identity governance across legacy platforms that predate modern IAM entirely.

Privileged Access Management
Vaulting, rotation, and just-in-time access for the accounts that can move money or touch core banking, payment, and settlement systems.
See PAM →Access Governance & SoD
Segregation-of-duties controls, certifications, and joiner/mover/leaver processes built to survive an external audit, not just pass an internal check.
See Access Governance →Third-party & vendor access
Governance over contractor, outsourcer, and ICT vendor access — the exact area DORA places the most explicit regulatory weight on.

Mapping identity controls to DORA, GDPR, SOC 2, and whichever framework your regulator and your auditors actually care about.

An evidence-based platform decision, not a vendor relationship
For a financial services firm that had lost confidence in its incumbent identity governance platform, we ran a formal RFP and structured proof-of-concept evaluation across three leading platforms — resulting in a defensible decision with senior stakeholder buy-in.

For an insurer with no identity governance platform in place at all, we delivered segregation-of-duties controls and certification workflows from the ground up — directly addressing findings previously raised in external audit.
