    iShield for Financial Services

    Resilient operations and regulated customer journeys for banks, insurers and payment providers.

    Financial institutions must keep critical services running, prove control to supervisors and still deliver modern digital journeys. iShield connects IT service management, customer engagement, finance and integration on one governed architecture — deployed in your cloud, your data centre or both.

    The challenge

    What financial services leaders are up against

    • Operational resilience

      Supervisors expect mapped critical services, tested recovery and fast, documented incident handling.

    • Third-party and ICT risk

      Cloud, fintech and outsourcing partners must be inventoried, monitored and reported on continuously.

    • Fragmented customer view

      Onboarding, complaints and servicing data sit across core banking, cards and channel systems.

    • Cost and change pressure

      Legacy estates absorb budget while new products and regulations keep arriving.

    • One customer record

      Front, middle and back office work from the same client view.

    • Controlled change

      Every change to critical services follows a traceable, approved path.

    • Sovereign by design

      Keep regulated data in-country with on-premises or hybrid deployment.
