Bedroq IT Cyber Risk Assessment
Understand the threat.
Make informed decisions.
Bedroq’s Cyber Risk Assessment gives financial services organisations a clear, honest picture of their cyber security posture, identifying vulnerabilities across technology, people, and process, and turning every finding into a prioritised roadmap for resilience.
Deep experience in regulated environments.
Most IT teams at financial services firms are managing many moving parts of the business: cloud platforms, end-user devices, email security, third-party integrations, compliance obligations, and the day-to-day demands of a business that cannot afford downtime. Chances are, in most organisations, something will be missed – not through negligence, but because there are only so many hours in a week.
We have worked extensively across FCA-regulated environments where every access log is a potential audit trail and where a misconfigured cloud policy or an unreviewed third-party connection can become a material risk overnight. Our experts understand the compliance obligations that shape what good looks like, and the practical constraints that determine what your team can realistically act on.
You might be audit ready.But are you actually secure?
The cost of discovering a cyber security gap after a breach is fundamentally different from discovering it beforehand. For a financial services firm, regulatory scrutiny, client notification obligations, FCA enforcement, and reputational damage compound quickly from a single undetected weakness.
The gap between what your security controls look like on paper and how they perform in practice is where risk lives. Our assessment is designed to help close that gap.
“Cyber security is now a matter of business survival and national resilience.”

Seven steps.One clear picture.
Our Cyber Risk Assessment follows a structured seven-step process, from initial scoping through to a full findings presentation with your team. Every output is tailored to your organisation, your systems, and your risk profile.
Findings are classified by risk priority and mapped to clear, timed actions: quick wins inside 30 days, targeted improvements at 90, and strategic initiatives over 12 months. You receive an executive summary, a detailed technical report, and a practical roadmap your team can act on from day one.
For organisations that want to go further, vulnerability scanning sweeps your network and exposed assets for specific technical weaknesses. Penetration testing simulates a real attacker targeting your systems and is available in Small, Medium, and Large scopes. As this will be conducted by third party partners, there is an additional charge for this.
Complex requirements.Clear actions.
The FCA’s Operational Resilience framework, DORA, and the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill all require firms to demonstrate that they have actively identified their risks, put controls in place, and can evidence that they are managing them over time. What regulators want to see isn’t a policy document, it is proof.
We take your specific compliance requirements, make them easier to understand, and map them directly to the controls, evidence, and actions you need. This gives your IT team a clear plan to execute, your board a picture they can understand, and your auditors exactly what they’re looking for.
The first step is the hardest.We make it straightforward.
Our process is designed to create as little disruption as possible. We work around your team’s availability, ask for only what we need, and move at a pace that suits your organisation. From your first conversation with us to delivery of your roadmap, everything is clear and focused on giving you something you can act on immediately.
The assessment includes:
- A structured seven-step process from initial scoping to findings presentation
- Security baseline reviews across IT, cloud, identity, endpoints, and third-party risk
- Findings classified by priority and mapped to 30-day, 90-day, and 12-month action timelines
- An executive summary, a detailed technical report, and a practical remediation roadmap
- A full debrief and presentation with your IT and leadership team
