Financial Services

Overview

Financial services organisations face a cybersecurity regulatory environment that is more prescriptive, more scrutinised and more consequential than almost any other sector. The challenge for most organisations is not a lack of awareness - it is the ability to demonstrate, at any point, that the right controls are in place, that third-party risks are being managed, and that leadership has the visibility required to meet their governance obligations.

DORA - the Digital Operational Resilience Act - came into force across the EU in January 2025, placing binding requirements on banks, insurers, investment firms and financial market infrastructure, as well as the ICT third-party providers that serve them.

In the US, SEC cybersecurity disclosure rules place explicit obligations on public companies around material incident reporting, board-level governance and the disclosure of risk management practices. For organisations operating across both jurisdictions, managing two distinct regulatory regimes from disconnected tools creates gaps that regulators and auditors will find.

Westport Cyber provides a single operational surface that supports both regimes - keeping compliance evidence, security posture and vendor risk connected to the same source of truth, regardless of which regulator is asking.
