Meeting The Challenges Of The Finance Industry
Working with finance service companies across the UK, we understand the common IT challenges these organisations face:
- Cyber security Threats: Facing increasing risks from sophisticated cyberattacks like phishing, ransomware, and insider threats, which can compromise sensitive financial data.
- Regulatory Compliance: Adhering to stringent regulations such as GDPR, PCI DSS, and the upcoming NIS2 directive, while ensuring data security and privacy.
- Legacy Systems: Managing outdated IT infrastructure that may lack compatibility with modern tools, leading to inefficiencies and increased operational risks.
- Data Management and Analytics: Handling vast amounts of data while ensuring accuracy, accessibility, and leveraging analytics for insights without breaching privacy regulations.
- Round-the-clock operations: Ensuring that IT systems remain operational at all times to support non-stop business processes, avoiding costly downtime or disruptions.
Akita’s IT services are tailored to meet these challenges, assisting organisations with both their day-to-day IT issues and their long-term strategy.
