Cyber-First IT & Security Solutions for Financial Institutions

Cybersecurity Threats and Data Breaches

Financial institutions are constantly dealing with a plethora of sensitive and confidential data, such as login, biometric, bank routing, and personal contact information. Although this data is essential for managing financial portfolios and accounts, it’s also very tempting for malicious actors, creating prime targets for cyberthreats and data breaches. This added vulnerability demands multilayered security and around-the-clock threat detection.

Operational Disruptions and Customer Impact

Reliability is key in this industry—your customers need to know that their private information and funds are safe from attacks, breaches, and fraud while retaining convenient access to their accounts and advisors. This requires institutions to do their due diligence, minimizing downtime and operational disruptions before they occur through proactive infrastructure resilience and sustainable business continuity plans.

Regulatory Compliance Complexity

Numerous security standards and regulations exist within the financial sector to protect both clients and institutions, including (but not limited to):

• Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
• Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard
• General Data Protection Regulation
• Sarbanes-Oxley Act

Meeting and maintaining compliance with all necessary policies requires businesses to stay current on regulatory changes to avoid fines, legal liability, and loss of trust.

Competitive Advantage Through IT Innovation

IT and cybersecurity have traditionally been considered overhead costs, but nowadays, they can provide a competitive advantage by offering customers a seamless and secure digital experience, reducing manual work for staff, and driving differentiation in a highly competitive market through the implementation of innovative technologies, such as AI and Internet of Things. In an increasingly digital world, IT acts as a strategic asset to improve both customer and business outcomes.

Around-the-Clock Endpoint and Network Monitoring

We know how important network uptime is to the success of your business. Logically’s network services include around-the-clock monitoring to determine whether network connectivity is operating properly. In the event of a failure, Logically personnel work quickly to resolve the issue and prevent it from happening again.

Finance Industry-Specific Compliance Support

New financial data protection regulations are added every year, requiring strict due diligence to ensure compliance. Often, businesses fail to meet requirements not out of negligence but due to a lack of resources to track and implement the new policies. Logically’s compliance services are designed to deliver custom finance sector IT solutions that meet or exceed all relevant industry regulatory requirements.

Seamless Device Repair and Replacement

Whether it’s expected maintenance or sudden damage, sooner or later, hardware will need to be replaced. By having robust business continuity plans in place, Logically ensures resilience with proactive device management, configuration backups, and rapid replacement protocols to minimize downtime and protect operations. 

Strategic IT Expansion and Network Scalability

Making business technology decisions—particularly in the finance sector—can be daunting, which can make many financial institutions hesitant to adopt new technology. How do you know which solutions to implement? Are these the most sustainable and suitable options? 

Your IT infrastructure must be capable of growing in alignment with your goals to avoid wasting resources on recreating your tech stack. Achieving this level of infrastructure elasticity requires a scalable technology strategy and a holistic approach to finance IT that includes next-generation networking solutions, such as zero trust fabric deployment and simplified provisioning.

IT Risk Mitigation and Compliance Enforcement

IT complexity and risk are rampant throughout the finance industry, which helps to explain why so many regulations and data requirements exist in the first place. Cybersecurity and compliance risk management go hand in hand, often necessitating guidance from industry-certified specialists who can tailor service and solution delivery to fit your organization’s needs and specific regulatory requirements.

Data Protection and Network Upgrades

Data security in the financial services industry encompasses the protection of a wide variety of information across a broad range of endpoints. Many organizations lack the knowledge, time, and resources required to maintain constant visibility into what’s happening across their networks, systems, and applications. Plus, a variety of communication, networking, and security solutions are necessary to meet the unique wireless needs of financial institutions. Managing and optimizing these financial systems demands the highest levels of network security and data protection.

Full-Service Operational IT Support

Every business needs a team to ensure all operations systems are ready and functioning—a role that has become increasingly more demanding as technology advances. In a quickly evolving landscape, internal IT teams frequently face unfamiliar territory as a result. Eventually, a task or discipline arises that requires a specialized, expert touch. Outsourced IT consulting services directly address this challenge by promptly connecting clients with a trained, qualified professional.

Comprehensive Infrastructure Assessments

The first step in simplifying IT infrastructure is identifying inefficiencies and risks. Investing in tailored assessments for wireless networks, security, telecommunications, cloud solutions, and risk management will pinpoint issues and provide specific, actionable recommendations for the next steps. Such engagements are designed to help your business benchmark your infrastructure against best practices and unlock new optimization insights.

Standardized Technology and Centralized Management

One of the most impactful ways to simplify IT operations is through the standardization of technology applications and processes. Implementing consistent systems across locations decreases the time required to train staff, reduces errors, and ensures unvarying service delivery in every location during every visit.

Strategic Guidance and Training

Outsourcing IT provides affordable access to trusted advisors who can strategically align IT infrastructure with business goals. For example, a virtual chief information officer can provide critical insights into specialty areas, such as budgeting, governance, and security prioritization, ensuring businesses are prepared for future demands while easily navigating the current business climate.

Company-Wide Policy Development

Detailed IT documentation and clear policies are essential for maintaining operational continuity, accelerating onboarding for new locations and staff, and reducing confusion during audits or compliance reviews. Some of the documents and policies that can be implemented to reduce complexity and enforce consistent processes include:

• IT infrastructure documentation
• Standard operating procedures
• Acceptable use policies
• Data security and privacy policies
• Disaster recovery and business continuity plans
• Vendor and software management plans
• Onboarding and offboarding checklists
• Network configuration standards
• Incident response plans
• Compliance checklists
