What we hear

Three things that are true in almost every finance business we meet

If none of these describes you, we are probably not the right call — and that is a useful thing to establish early.

  • 01

    Cloud programmes stall at the regulator

    Data residency and evidence requirements were treated as a compliance review at the end rather than a design input at the start.

  • 02

    Evidence takes weeks to assemble

    Each audit cycle consumes a team for three weeks producing a pack that could be generated.

  • 03

    Legacy core nobody will touch

    The system works, the people who built it have gone, and every change is quoted as a two-year programme.

Regulated workloads moved to cloud with zero audit findings

A cloud programme had stalled twice on the regulator’s data-residency and evidence requirements.

By outcome

What we do about it

Each of these maps directly onto one of the pressures above.

  • Modernise legacy systems

    Core systems are twenty years old and nobody dares touch them.

    Incremental replacement with no operational stoppage.

    0Days of production downtime
  • Migrate to cloud, properly

    Lift-and-shift left you with the same problems and a bigger bill.

    Landing zones designed for cost control and audit from day one.

  • Pass the audit

    The last assessment produced 140 findings and no plan.

    Prioritised remediation with evidence the auditor accepts.

Compliance

What procurement will ask us for

We have answered these questionnaires before. Starting the third-party risk assessment in week one is usually the difference between a Q1 and a Q2 start.

  • Data residency designed into the landing zone, evidenced per workload
  • Control mapping to ISO 27001 and the local regulatory framework
  • Automated evidence collection — the audit pack is generated
  • Encryption in transit and at rest with documented key custody

They gave us a fixed go-live date in week two and hit it. What I actually valued was that the handover documentation was good enough that my team ran the second plant rollout themselves.

FAQ

Questions from finance buyers

Still have questions?

Ask an engineer directly. No sales sequence.

Have you worked under our regulator before?

We have delivered under the State Bank of Vietnam framework and to MAS-aligned requirements through our Singapore office. We will be specific in the first meeting about where we have direct experience and where we would be learning your framework alongside you.

Can workloads stay on-premise where required?

Yes, and some should. The assessment produces a per-workload decision with the residency rationale written for the regulator to read, rather than a blanket cloud-first policy.

How do you handle third-party risk assessment?

We complete your vendor questionnaire and provide our ISO 27001 certificate, penetration test summary, and sub-processor list up front. It is usually the slowest part of onboarding, so we start it in week one.
