Fincole, the specialist technology and risk advisory firm, today announced that it has been appointed to serve as the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) function for a major UK financial institution dedicated to consumer protection and compensation within the regulated financial services sector.

The engagement strengthens the organisation’s security governance, risk management, and resilience across the critical systems that support its protection mandate. Fincole’s remit includes enterprise security strategy, secure systems architecture, operational risk uplift, incident readiness, data protection enhancements, and ongoing C-suite–level security leadership.

“Financial institutions responsible for consumer protection must uphold exceptional levels of trust, transparency, and security,” said a Director at Fincole. “We are committed to helping this organisation elevate its resilience and maintain the confidence of the customers and firms it supports.”

As part of the engagement, Fincole will establish a comprehensive security and governance framework aligned with the operational demands of large-scale financial protection services, including:

• Defining and delivering a robust, institution-wide security strategy
• Enhancing enterprise controls and secure cloud-native architectures
• Advanced risk assessments across compensation and claims-processing systems
• Strengthened data protection, identity governance, and secure engineering practices
• Incident readiness planning, security operations uplift, and continuous monitoring

This engagement strengthens Fincole’s role in supporting financial institutions that deliver essential consumer protection and operational resilience across the UK’s regulated markets.

“Our goal is to ensure organisations with consumer-facing responsibilities can operate securely, confidently, and with the highest standards of governance,” added a Director at Fincole.
