Banking & Capital Markets

Banks and capital markets firms run critical national infrastructure under intense regulatory scrutiny, where a single control gap can trigger supervisory action, fraud or systemic loss. Legacy cores sit alongside new digital channels, each widening the attack surface and the evidence burden. Fidova brings a connected, security-first approach — building and modernising platforms with controls decided up front, then proving those controls stand up to RBI inspection and global frameworks.

What's at stake

The pressures shaping this sector.

Legacy core modernisation

Decades-old core banking and trading systems must be modernised without interrupting settlement, reconciliation or regulatory reporting — and without opening new security gaps in the process.

Relentless cyber threat

Banks are among the most targeted organisations in the world, facing fraud, ransomware and supply-chain attacks while regulators expect demonstrable, tested resilience.

Supervisory evidence burden

RBI inspections, Basel capital rules and audit cycles demand continuous, defensible evidence that controls operate — not a scramble assembled days before the examiner arrives.

Data protection at scale

Customer financial data must be secured across cores, channels and analytics estates in line with the DPDP Act and sectoral confidentiality rules, with lineage leadership can account for.
