Technology Governance
Board-level oversight of a complex, regulated and rapidly evolving technology estate.
Financial Services
Regulator-aligned technology assurance for banking, payments, pensions and insurance.
HazelGRC supports boards, executives and audit leaders across financial services where technology, cyber and operational resilience risk are under sustained regulatory focus.
Industry Overview
Key governance, technology & regulatory context
Banks, payments providers, pension schemes and insurers operate under some of the most demanding technology, cyber and operational resilience obligations of any sector — from PRA and FCA expectations to DORA-aligned resilience frameworks and evolving AI supervisory guidance.
The technology estate is complex, deeply interconnected with third parties and cloud providers, and increasingly shaped by AI and data-driven decisioning. Boards and executive committees need independent, credible assurance that governance, risk and control keep pace.
HazelGRC brings that independent perspective — combining regulatory literacy, technology depth and executive fluency to strengthen technology assurance, cyber governance, AI governance and technology risk across the financial services value chain.
