Protect your firm from within
Insider Threat Assessments.
Detect and mitigate risks posed by employees, contractors, and trusted third parties—safeguard sensitive data, maintain operational integrity, and meet regulatory expectations.
What is an insider threat assessment?
An Insider Threat Assessment systematically evaluates your organisation’s exposure to malicious or unintentional threats stemming from employees, contractors, and partners with legitimate access. It combines employee profiling, access pattern analysis, technology audits, policy reviews, and behavioural insights to understand motivations, risky conditions, and controls required.
Why it matters for your firm.
Insider Risks Are Often Undetected Until It's Too Late
Employees and trusted third parties have privileged access to systems and data—making them capable of causing significant damage through error, negligence, or malicious intent.
Regulatory Expectations Are Increasing
The FCA and DORA require firms to demonstrate robust controls around data access, misuse prevention, and insider risk management as part of overall operational resilience.
Reputation and Client Trust Are on the Line
A single insider-related breach involving client data or financial transactions can erode investor confidence and damage long-standing relationships.
Traditional Cyber Defences Don’t Catch Insider Threats
Firewalls and perimeter controls can’t detect suspicious internal behaviour. Proactive assessment is essential to uncover blind spots and reduce exposure.
Key features of our service.
