ISO CERTIFICATION FOR FINANCIAL SERVICES
ISO 27001 & ISO 42001 for Fintech & Wealth Management
Security governance that satisfies regulators and clients. AI governance for responsible fintech innovation.
Why Financial Services Choose ISO 27001 & ISO 42001
Financial services handle money and sensitive personal data. Regulators expect you to have systematic information security. Clients expect you to protect their assets and privacy.
Satisfy Regulators
FCA and PRA expect information security controls. ISO 27001 is internationally recognized evidence that you have them.
Build Client Trust
Wealth management and fintech clients want assurance their money and data are secure. ISO 27001 certification is proof.
Govern AI Responsibly
If you use AI for trading or decisions, ISO 42001 demonstrates responsible governance. It's becoming a market differentiator.
Cost & Investment
First-year certification typically costs £7,000 to £18,000:
- ISO 27001 alone: £7,000–11,000
- ISO 42001 alone: £5,000–8,000
- ISO 27001 + ISO 42001: £10,000–16,000
- Add ISO 22301: +£4,000–6,000
Common Questions
Do we need ISO 22301 as well as ISO 27001?
Not automatically. ISO 22301 (business continuity) is worth adding if clients specifically ask about your recovery capability after an outage. Many firms add it once ISO 27001 is established rather than doing both together.
Will ISO 27001 slow down our AI rollout?
No — if anything it structures it. ISO 42001 doesn't require you to stop using AI, it requires you to document how you assess and manage the risks. Firms that build this in from the start move faster than firms that retrofit governance later.
Does certification help with client due diligence questionnaires?
Yes. ISO 27001 certification answers most information security questions in a typical client or partner due diligence questionnaire directly, since you can point to an independently audited certificate rather than completing a lengthy self-assessment each time.
