Why Now?
The FCA’s strategic vision underscores the need for smarter, more resilient tech infrastructure. As regulations evolve and digital expectations rise, your systems and your managed services partner must evolve with them.
At Maple, we help financial firms across London and the UK align their IT infrastructure with compliance demands. From secure cloud environments to ongoing patch management and cyber resilience, we ensure your tech stack is fully prepared for this next regulatory era.
Key Areas of Change in the FCA Strategy
-
Digital-first supervision: Firms must be ready to meet real-time regulatory expectations with equally responsive infrastructure.
-
Global standards alignment: Your systems must be compliant not just in the UK, but in a globally interconnected environment.
-
Consumer trust: Data privacy, uptime, and accessibility are no longer optional - they’re fundamental.
