Question 1

How do you ensure compliance with financial regulations?

Accepted Answer

Financial services firms face strict regulation such as SOX, Basel III, MiFID II and GDPR. We implement technical controls that meet these requirements: audit trails of all data access, separation of production and test environments, encryption to FIPS 140-2 standards and regular compliance audits. We also help you draw up your information security policy and disaster recovery procedures. Our security experts have specific experience in the finance sector.

Question 2

What specific security measures protect financial data?

Accepted Answer

Financial data demands the highest level of security. We implement hardware security modules (HSM) for cryptographic keys, AES-256 encryption for data at rest, TLS 1.3 for data in transit and database activity monitoring with real-time alerting. We add tokenisation of sensitive data, privileged access management and regular penetration testing. All systems are audited by external parties, and we meet ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II requirements.

Question 3

How do you protect against insider threats and fraud?

Accepted Answer

Insider threats are a major risk in finance. We implement a zero trust architecture in which nobody has access by default, continuous authentication and authorisation checks, user and entity behaviour analytics (UEBA) to spot unusual behaviour, and the four-eyes principle for critical changes. We also provide tamper-proof logging in WORM storage and regular access reviews. Every privileged action is logged and monitored.

Question 4

What happens in the event of a security incident or data breach?

Accepted Answer

We have a detailed incident response plan built specifically for financial services. When an incident occurs, the security team is activated immediately, affected systems are isolated, a forensic investigation begins and regulators are notified in line with mandatory reporting obligations. Our 24/7 security operations detect incidents within minutes. Cyber insurance and legal support are also in place. After the incident, we carry out a thorough analysis and strengthen the measures.

Question 5

How do you ensure business continuity if systems go down?

Accepted Answer

Financial services cannot afford to stand still. We implement geographically distributed data centres with real-time replication, automatic failover within seconds, a separate disaster recovery environment and regular DR tests. The Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is under 1 hour and the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) under 15 minutes. We also have on-call engineers 24/7 and spare hardware available.

Question 6

Do your solutions meet DNB and AFM requirements?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our solutions are designed with the Dutch regulators in mind. We comply with DNB's Good Practice on ICT risk management, the AFM's requirements for investment firms and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). We help you prepare ISAE 3402 reports, critical third-party risk assessments and Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). We also support NIS2 compliance and planning the transition to quantum-safe cryptography.
