Why is IT support for financial companies important?

Financial service businesses rely heavily on IT systems for day-to-day operations, from processing transactions to managing customer accounts. Technical issues cause downtime, which can lead to significant financial losses and damage customer trust.

Working with an experienced IT partner can provide you with peace of mind by ensuring that your IT infrastructure is always up and running and any issues are proactively addressed before they escalate.

Financial institutions handle massive amounts of confidential information, including customer records, account details, and transaction histories. IT support for financial services focuses on protecting this sensitive data from breaches, unauthorised access, and cyber attacks, preserving customer trust and the company’s reputation.

For the same reason, financial companies must comply with industry regulations that require them to maintain secure and reliable systems. IT services help financial firms ensure regulatory compliance and avoid legal consequences associated with non-compliance.

How Sereno can help your financial services business

At Sereno, we understand the unique business needs and challenges of the financial services sector. We offer a comprehensive range of IT services to meet your needs and proactively respond to challenges so that you can focus on your business rather than on troubleshooting your IT systems.

Effective data protection is a priority task for finance companies — beyond safeguarding their own information, these organisations take responsibility for protecting their customers’ data. We realise how cyber security is important for the financial services industry and make extra effort to protect your business against cyber threats.

We work closely with our clients to develop and implement a robust cyber security strategy, which spans but isn’t limited to using firewalls, antivirus and intrusion detection systems, implementing data encryption and conducting regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing. This way, we also help financial sector businesses effectively meet PCI DSS, DPA, and FCA regulations.

We have been clients of Sereno IT's since summer 2023 and we have been extremely happy with the service we have received to date. Sereno have built their business with a direct aim to fix the issues that are notoriously problematic with MSPs, and having experienced some of these problems with our previous MSP, Sereno are truly achieving in their efforts.Everything is so streamlined and easy for clients to use - their partner portal has truly thought of everything, from ordering IT equipment, to scheduling calls with engineers. The team always make sure everything is very clearly explained, and when things are a little more technical/ difficult to put into an email, we have received personal video explanations which have been so useful.Highly recommend Sereno's services!

These guys are new in the market, but they provide outstanding service service. What is important to our company, that they comprehend hierarchy of team and therefore importance despite the issue is applied. When we need something urgent, they find a manpower to resolve it asap. And most important for me as an assistant, i don't have to have IT language to explain the issue, they know issue is there and they find it and fix it - i do not have to answer 10 questions if i have done this or that, but they fix it by jumping on the system, with in short time all is done and you can move on with your day. And they are always positive 🙂

We have been a customer of Sereno since Summer 2023 and the experience since has been overwhelmingly positive. We are an SMB working in a complex, safety-critical industry, where stable and reliable IT services are paramount. Sereno have never let us down, with their team of highly competent, customer-focused technicians, who always go the extra mile.As well as high quality services, they are also proactive in identifying areas for improvement and where they can add value. Compared to many other traditional IT suppliers, they are interested in establishing a true partnership, where the needs of both parties are taken into consideration.I really can't recommended Sereno IT highly enough, as the other 5* reviews on here will also testify.

Great company, full of energy and very attentive to our needs. You really get a personalised service, with the technical ability of a much larger company.

My business has recently adopted Sereno IT Support as our ITSM partner over the last quarter. This has been a sensible move for us as we scale, and the moving parts will become more complex as we grow. I have experienced a few issues, but these have been quickly addressed. One particular, tricky item involving my work mobile was a challenge - but, “We got there in the end! Thank you Tamim - your support has been very helpful and much appreciated”

Excellent, speedy, friendly and very 'human' service. Intuitive and easy to use platform. I'm the type of person who normally puts off raising IT tickets but Sereno has actually changed that for me because it's so easy and straightforward, and everything gets actioned quickly.

I've had the pleasure of working with Sereno for several months now, they are honestly absolutely fantastic. The service really is better than I have experienced from other support organisations.The team is incredibly easy to work with. Everyone I have interacted with is friendly, seems to listen and is generally responsive. They also have a high level of understanding of industry specific problems which helps a lot.We've has issues in the past with really slow response times but this an area where Sereno does really well. We're usually able to get an answer to queries within minutes, and resolutions within hours at most.We have also used them for advisory services on security and are really happy with the results. It's been a much more efficient process than the in house team we have previously.Highly recommend!
