FCA-compliant IT infrastructure for hedge funds, private equity, wealth managers, and investment advisers. 30-minute critical response, DORA readiness, immutable backups, and 24/7 UK-based support.
Financial services firms face technology challenges that don’t exist in other industries. Trading desk uptime is non-negotiable. Client data must be encrypted at rest and in transit. The FCA expects demonstrable cyber resilience. DORA mandates comprehensive ICT risk management. A single hour of email downtime can cost millions in missed opportunities.
Nerdster specialises in IT infrastructure for London-based hedge funds, private equity firms, wealth managers, and FCA-regulated investment advisers. Our Financial Services IT package provides enterprise-grade security, guaranteed response times, and regulatory compliance support—without the complexity of building an internal IT department.
We understand the stakes. When your Bloomberg terminal goes down at market open, or your CRM loses connectivity during client calls, every minute counts. That’s why premium tier clients receive 30-minute critical incident response, 24/7/365, from UK-based senior engineers who understand financial services technology.
FCA SYSC 8 requires adequate resources for business continuity. GDPR mandates encryption and breach notification. DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) demands comprehensive ICT risk management, incident reporting, and third-party oversight. We help you demonstrate compliance.
A trading desk outage during market hours can cost millions. Email downtime means missed client communications. CRM unavailability halts new business. Our 30-minute response time and 99.9% uptime SLA ensure your operations continue without interruption.
Financial services firms are prime ransomware targets. Nation-state actors target investment research. Business email compromise attacks impersonate senior partners. Our multi-layered defence includes XDR, email security, and continuous monitoring.
Investment strategies, M&A targets, client portfolios—all highly sensitive. Our infrastructure includes encrypted communications, role-based access controls, immutable audit logs, and UK-only data storage. No offshore support for financial data.
Bloomberg, Refinitiv, FactSet, SimCorp, Charles River—financial services rely on specialised platforms. We manage integrations, troubleshoot connectivity issues, and ensure trading systems remain operational during market hours.
Market opens don’t wait for IT fixes. Fund closings have hard deadlines. Regulatory filings are time-sensitive. Our 24/7 monitoring and proactive maintenance ensure issues are resolved before they impact operations.
Everything you need to meet regulatory requirements whilst maintaining the agility of a modern financial services firm.
When you report a P1 incident—trading desk down, email outage, network failure—a UK-based senior engineer acknowledges and begins remediation within 30 minutes, 24/7/365. Not 4 hours. Not next day. 30 minutes.
