The Real Problem

What's Actually Broken in Financial Services IT.

Regulated finance is uniquely punishing for IT leadership. The compliance burden is constant, the cost discipline is brutal, and the downtime cost is measured in customer trust as much as dollars. Here's the pattern we see most.

Compliance Audits Are Year-Round

PCI-DSS quarterly attestations, SOC 1 annual reviews, FFIEC examinations, state-level financial regulator visits, and customer due diligence questionnaires. The audit trail has to be continuous, not retrospective.

Legacy Cores on Borrowed Time

Core banking platforms, trading engines, and policy administration systems written decades ago still run mission-critical work. The dependency map is fragile, the refresh cost is enormous, and downtime is measured in regulatory consequence.

Cost Discipline Cuts Deeper Every Year

Net interest margins, fee revenue under pressure, and operating expense ratios watched obsessively. IT spend is one of the few discretionary line items, and unpredictable cloud bills make budget planning a quarterly battle.

Customer Trust Is the Whole Product

Banking and wealth management businesses live or die on customer trust. A breach or extended outage is not just a regulatory event. It is a brand event that takes years to recover from.

How We Address It

Infrastructure That Holds Up to the Audit and the Bottom Line.

PCI-DSS Aligned Environments

Cardholder data environment scoping done correctly from day one. Single-tenant isolation reduces the scope, NSX micro-segmentation enforces the boundaries, and access controls map cleanly to PCI requirements.

SOC 1 and SOC 2 Documentation Ready

Infrastructure controls mapped to SOC trust service criteria. Documentation provided for your service organization audits without you having to extract it manually from infrastructure logs.

Predictable Flat-Fee Pricing

Per-vCPU, per-GB-RAM, per-GB-storage. No surprise bills, no usage-based volatility, no egress charges. The CFO can model the spend a year out and trust the number.

Audit-Ready Logging and Retention

Every administrative action, every data access, every configuration change logged centrally with regulatory-grade retention. Quarterly evidence packages assembled in hours, not weeks.

Core Banking and Trading Workload Experience

SQL Server, Oracle, fintech-native middleware, and the trading and core banking platforms built on top of them run on our infrastructure today. We have done the integrations, not just read the documentation.

Common Questions

What Financial Services IT Leaders Ask Before They Sign.

Are you PCI-DSS certified?
+

We provide PCI-DSS aligned infrastructure. Formal PCI-DSS certification at the merchant or service provider level is a customer-specific scoping exercise that involves the cardholder data environment, the applications running on top, and the operating procedures around them. We provide the infrastructure documentation and controls that make your QSA's job significantly easier.

Can you provide SOC 1 or SOC 2 reports?
+

SOC reports are produced at the service organization level. Our infrastructure is operated to support customers' own SOC 1 and SOC 2 audits as a downstream entity. We can provide the infrastructure control documentation, attestations, and access to evidence your auditor needs. Formal SOC 2 Type II of our managed services is on the roadmap.

How do you handle FFIEC examination support?
+

Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council guidance treats third-party cloud providers as critical vendors. We support FFIEC examination requests by providing infrastructure architecture documentation, control evidence, business continuity testing results, and vendor management questionnaire responses on a documented timeline.

What about GLBA Safeguards Rule compliance?
+

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act Safeguards Rule applies to financial institutions handling customer financial information. Our infrastructure provides the technical safeguards (encryption, access controls, monitoring) that map to Safeguards Rule requirements. Administrative and physical safeguards at the institution level remain your responsibility.

How do you handle data residency requirements?
+

All infrastructure is located in U.S. datacenters. For customers with state-level data residency requirements (some state banking regulators, some wealth management situations) we can document the specific datacenter location and operational jurisdiction. Cross-border data residency is not something we currently support.
