FCA-aligned managed IT and cybersecurity for banks, fintechs, investment managers, insurance firms and payment institutions. 24/7 SOC, PCI-DSS, DORA and SOC 2 compliance — under one SLA.
Financial services firms are the most targeted organisations in the world. You hold high-value data, process high-value transactions, and operate under some of the strictest regulatory frameworks in existence — FCA operational resilience rules, PCI-DSS, GDPR, SWIFT CSP and now DORA.
A generic MSP won't cut it. You need a provider that understands the regulatory landscape, has experience in regulated environments, and can demonstrate compliance controls to your auditors and regulators.
Baycop's financial services practice delivers managed IT and security with compliance built in — not bolted on.
Every service is designed around the regulatory and operational demands of regulated financial firms.

UK financial services firms must typically comply with FCA operational resilience rules, PCI-DSS (if handling card payments), GDPR, and increasingly DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) for firms operating in the EU. Baycop's managed IT service is aligned to all of these frameworks.
DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) is an EU regulation requiring financial entities to manage ICT risk, test digital resilience, and ensure third-party ICT providers meet strict standards. Baycop helps financial services firms meet DORA requirements through documented ICT risk management, resilience testing and compliant third-party oversight.
