Marlborough Investment Management

Safeguarding financial data by exceeding regulatory requirements.

Ensuring IT systems are safe and secure

Marlborough Investment Management has been managing investments since 1985 and provides expertise to investment propositions. For a company which provides management services to IFA distributors, charities and trust funds, their commitment to compliance, security and building trust is second to none.

The challenge

Operating within the highly regulated financial services industry, the business is under constant scrutiny both by its customers and regulatory bodies such as the FCA.

Should they suffer an IT outage or a cybersecurity incident, they risk losing their hard-earned reputation, customer confidence and could face heavy penalties from their industry regulators.

Our solution

Acting as Marlborough Investment Management’s Virtual CIO, we impartially govern their IT landscape, ensuring that it is at all times secure, efficient, robust and in-line with regulatory requirements and industry best practice.

Our commitment to best practice is demonstrated to our customers by certifying our work through independent certifications such as Cyber Essentials Plus, so that they know we treat cyber security with the utmost importance and reassure them that their data is safe with the business.

Each month, we host an IT strategy meeting with the business stakeholders to deliver updates as to how IT projects are progressing and to advise on any new technologies or accreditations which could be implemented by the business to drive a culture of continuous improvement.

There has been a significant improvement in the stability and sturdiness of our network and associated applications since Economit took on the role of our Virtual CIO. This has given us assurance both in terms of network security and our compliance with our regulatory obligations.”
