We support clients in many sectors. Each industry has its own rules, risks, and pressure points. We tailor our plan to fit your context and your culture.

Financial services

Banks, fintech, insurance, payments, and asset managers face strict rules and rapid change.

We help you respond to alerts, review historic activity, and prepare for regulator questions. We support remediation and testing so you can prove progress.

When to act

  • You see red flags in payments or procurement — for example, duplicate invoices, unusual round numbers, or vendors with shared details.

  • A whistleblower raises a concern. Treat this early so people feel safe and facts are not lost.

  • A dawn raid or regulator inquiry arrives. Early planning protects privilege and reduces disruption.

  • A key employee leaves and data looks at risk. Preserve devices and accounts before they are reused.

  • Your brand is hit by fakes or grey market activity. Quick test buys and takedowns protect revenue.

  • You need to trace assets for recovery. Early intelligence can support freezing orders and stronger negotiations.

If this is urgent, contact us now. We can start with a short scoping call and a quick preservation plan.
