The sector
What matters here
In financial services the work is rarely technically exotic; the difficulty is proving it was done correctly. Every change needs an approval trail, every branch visit needs an identifiable and vetted person, and every retired drive needs a certificate with a serial number on it. We deliver against that standard as a matter of process rather than as a special arrangement, because the same platform that dispatches the work captures the evidence.
Challenges we solve
Three problems, addressed by design
Change that has to be provable
Production change without a documented approval, rollback plan and post-implementation record is an audit finding waiting to happen. Every change runs through ITIL change management with CAB approval in Cogent OS, and the record is the same artefact your auditor reads.
Branch estates that cannot wait
A branch with a dead network link is a closed branch. Spares are held in-country at our owned hub and dispatched with a directly-employed, vetted worker against a priority-one clock - not sourced after the fault is triaged.
Disposal exposure that outlives projects
Retired trading kit and branch hardware carry data risk long after the refresh closes. We destroy to NIST 800-88 with a certificate per asset, unbroken chain of custody, and reconciliation against the register you supplied.
