Cyber Risk and Advisory for the Financial Services Industry

Helping Financial Institutions Manage Risk, Regulation, and Resilience

NCX Group provides independent cyber risk advisory services to financial services organizations under regulatory, operational, and transaction scrutiny.

Industry-Specific Risk Dynamics

Cyber Risk Is a Core Business Risk for Financial Services

Cyber risk for banks, credit unions, asset managers, insurers, and financial advisors is not a technical add-on — it is part of fiduciary, operational, compliance, and enterprise risk. Threat actors exploit:

  • Account and credential abuse
  • Third-party and vendor dependencies
  • API and data aggregation pathways
  • Insider and operational process exposures
  • Regulatory reporting and oversight gaps

These exposures affect not just technology, but trust, solvency, and continuity.

Regulatory & Transaction Context

The Regulatory and Transaction Lens

Financial services firms operate under intense regulatory requirements and fiduciary expectations. Cyber risk shows up in:

  • FFIEC / OCC / CFPB exams
  • GLBA, SOX, PCI, and other frameworks
  • Board risk reporting
  • M&A and transaction diligence
  • Insurance underwriting and coverage decisions

Cyber risk is not an IT checkbox. It influences capital planning, contract certainty, and audit scope.
