Finance & Capital
Our perspective
Financial organisations operate in an environment of permanent compliance where every value decision is exposed to regulatory scrutiny and growing buyer pressure. Their value rests on data quality, governance robustness and the credibility of financial metrics.
CIFSO 5000 Certification is particularly relevant for documenting and defending what regulatory audits do not capture: operational integrity, data sovereignty and real transferability.
Sectors covered
01RegulatedBanking & Financial Services
DORA compliance, Basel IV, credit risk AI, back-office modernisation and operational resilience.
02GrowthFinTech & Payments
PSD2, open banking, AML/KYC, real-time payment architectures, tokenisation and defensible SaaS metrics.
03HybridPropTech & Real Estate
Asset valuation, tenant-scoring AI, transaction platforms, ESG data and the software/physical-asset duality.

How we support our clients
Three typical profiles, three concrete situations.
Private Equity funds
“You are assessing a target in financial services. The data room is incomplete, data governance is poorly documented and regulators are asking questions. You need an independent assessment to secure your thesis before closing.”
What we solve
- Verify the quality and traceability of a financial target's data
- Obtain enforceable governance documentation before closing
- Defend the investment thesis to LPs with a certified grade
Growing FinTech
“Your FinTech is raising or seeking an acquirer. Your metrics are solid, but your scoring algorithm, PSD2 contracts and IP are not documented in a defensible way. An investor wants independent certification before committing.”
What we solve
- Prepare an investor dossier with certification of algorithmic ownership
- Document PSD2/DORA compliance to reassure a banking acquirer
- Structure the value of AML/KYC data as a certifiable asset
Banks & financial institutions
“You are running a digital transformation in a DORA/NIS2 context and must demonstrate operational resilience to regulators. Your critical technology dependencies are poorly mapped and AI risks are not governed per EBA guidelines.”
What we solve
- Govern AI risks and alert models according to EBA guidelines
- Document and certify operational resilience for a DORA audit
- Map and control critical technology dependencies
