Protecting Financial Institutions Through Trusted Cyber Compliance Solutions

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, cyber threats have become one of the greatest operational and regulatory risks facing financial institutions. At Global Investment Reporting (GIR), we help retirement funds, asset managers, financial service providers, administrators, insurers, and investment businesses strengthen their cyber resilience while meeting increasingly stringent regulatory requirements.

Our Cyber Security and Cyber Resilience services are designed to provide organisations with independent assurance that their cybersecurity controls are effective, their critical information assets are protected, and their governance frameworks align with industry best practices and regulatory expectations. We combine deep expertise in financial services regulation with practical cybersecurity knowledge to deliver solutions that reduce cyber risk and support long-term business resilience.

Our specialists conduct comprehensive cybersecurity compliance assessments against the requirements of Joint Standard 2 of 2024 issued by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) and the Prudential Authority. We evaluate governance structures, cybersecurity strategies, risk management processes, identity and access management, third-party risk, incident response capabilities, business continuity arrangements, and operational resilience to identify gaps and recommend practical improvements.

Beyond regulatory compliance, GIR provides independent cyber risk audits that help organisations understand their overall cybersecurity maturity. Our structured assessment methodology measures the effectiveness of internal controls, identifies vulnerabilities, prioritises remediation activities, and provides management and boards with clear, actionable reporting. Our audit reports include detailed findings, risk ratings, remediation recommendations, and executive dashboards that enable informed decision-making.

A key differentiator of our service is our Cyber Compliance Monitoring Dashboard, which provides clients with real-time visibility into the cybersecurity posture of their organisation and critical service providers. Through an intuitive executive dashboard, trustees, directors, and senior management can monitor supplier compliance, cyber resilience scores, vulnerability status, incident trends, remediation progress, and regulatory readiness from a single platform. This enhanced visibility supports stronger governance and proactive risk management across the organisation.

As organisations increasingly rely on outsourced service providers, cloud platforms, administrators, and technology vendors, third-party cyber risk has become a significant concern. GIR assists clients by performing independent supplier cybersecurity reviews, evaluating contractual security obligations, monitoring control effectiveness, and providing ongoing assurance over outsourced service providers. This enables organisations to strengthen supply chain resilience and demonstrate appropriate oversight to regulators and stakeholders.

Our services also include cybersecurity governance reviews, cyber risk assessments, policy and framework development, business continuity and disaster recovery reviews, incident response planning, security awareness programmes, and compliance readiness assessments. We work collaboratively with clients to build practical, risk-based cybersecurity programmes that are aligned with the FSCA Joint Standard 2 of 2024 and recognised governance principles.

At Global Investment Reporting, we understand that cybersecurity is not simply an IT issue—it is a business, governance, and regulatory imperative. Our experienced professionals provide independent, objective assurance that helps organisations protect sensitive information, maintain operational resilience, safeguard stakeholder confidence, and comply with evolving regulatory obligations.

Whether you require a once-off cybersecurity audit, ongoing compliance monitoring, or a comprehensive cyber resilience programme, Global Investment Reporting is your trusted partner in building a secure, resilient, and compliant organisation.
