Turning data into a strategic asset through strong governance

Data has become one of the most valuable strategic assets in financial services — but also one of the most heavily regulated. As expectations tighten across data protection, AI governance, operational resilience, and international transfers, firms must demonstrate not only that they use data effectively, but that they govern it responsibly. Regulators now expect clear evidence of how data and AI systems are controlled, monitored, and protected throughout their lifecycle.

Treating data as a strategic asset means managing it with the same discipline as capital or risk. We help financial institutions build practical, integrated governance frameworks that unlock value, reduce exposure and stand up to scrutiny.

Why financial service organisations partner with us

Financial institutions operate under intense scrutiny and the risk and regulatory protection agenda remains a key focus. Change is also a constant with technological advancement, economic shifts and regulatory developments commonplace.

From FCA and PRA expectations in the UK, to EU supervisory focus on GDPR, the EU AI Act, and operational resilience, to US oversight under GLBA, sectoral rules, and state privacy laws, and rapidly evolving frameworks across Asia in India, the Gulf States as well as in the Caribbean and Latin America, the industry faces a web of complex and sometimes competing regulations.

We support all organisations across the ecosystem from banks to insurers, asset managers to fintechs, wealth managers to payment providers implementing governance frameworks which align with best practice in data protection and AI and operate within the required regulatory frameworks while also enabling innovation.

Our approach combines legal, technical, and operational expertise with deep sector understanding, so your controls can be made to work across multiple jurisdictions and in accordance with regulatory requirements — not just in a single market. We focus on governance that works in practice, not just on paper, helping you show regulators that your data, AI, and third‑party ecosystems are well‑governed, explainable, and defensible.
