Confidently compliant, securely connected — IT built for financial services.
In financial services, trust is everything. Whether you’re managing investments, advising clients, or processing sensitive transactions, your IT systems must be secure, compliant, and built to support your business-critical operations.
At Novem, we help financial firms modernise their infrastructure, reduce risk, and improve efficiency — so your team can focus on delivering exceptional service with confidence.
Technology in financial services isn’t just about performance — it’s about trust, compliance, and resilience. With increasing regulatory demands and evolving cyber threats, firms need IT solutions that protect sensitive data, enable secure collaboration, and keep operations running without disruption.
Financial firms face strict regulatory obligations. Our solutions can help you achieve Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001, and FCA-aligned standards.
With phishing, ransomware, and insider threats on the rise, layered security and MDR are essential for protecting your business and reputation.
From faster access to client data to AI adoption, we design IT systems that save time and reduce costs.
Across the two decades plus supporting clients, we know there are common IT challenges and also those that are more specific to the Financial Services industry. Below you will find just a few challenges and potential solutions. Don’t worry if you don’t see what you’re after as our team are happy to talk through the goals you are trying to achieve and build a solution for you.

Whether it’s fully managed IT or bespoke project requirements, read about some of our work.
We understand that IT projects can be just that, a one-off specific goal that you want to achieve or it could be a long standing relationship where a Managed Service Provider becomes an extension of your team, working towards a technology roadmap. We aim to create positive results that drive efficiency, security and scalability.
We provide responsive, proactive support for your entire team — from advisors and analysts to operations and compliance staff. Our service is designed to minimise downtime, resolve issues quickly, and keep your systems running securely and efficiently.
Financial firms are high-value targets for cyber threats. We help you build layered protection with endpoint detection and response (EDR), managed detection and response (MDR), and robust backup and disaster recovery solutions. Our continuity planning ensures that even in the event of an incident, your operations can continue with minimal disruption.
Whether your team is working from the office, home, or on the move, we enable secure remote access to sensitive systems and data. Our solutions support flexible working while maintaining compliance requirements.
AI tools like Microsoft Copilot can drive real operational efficiencies — but only when deployed securely and strategically. We help you unlock value through use cases like:

Do I need Cyber Essentials Plus for my firm?
It’s becoming increasingly expected by clients, regulators and insurance providers. The potential upcoming CSAR bill could actually see things taken further than CE+.
What’s the benefit of an IT roadmap?
It aligns technology with your business goals, ensuring security, scalability, and cost efficiency. Rather than being reactive and having expensive one-off project costs, each year it allows for a plan and budget to achieve your goals.
How do you keep us secure?
We use enterprise-grade security tools, MDR, and strict access controls to protect sensitive information. Depending on the services you take, additional layers of security can be added.
