An independent reading of your UK technology and compliance posture — post-Brexit data flows, FCA-adjacent operational resilience expectations — in writing, by someone with no UK implementation practice to sell you.
Operating in or into the UK carries a specific set of technology-adjacent questions that don’t map cleanly onto EU frameworks — data flows between the UK and EU under the post-Brexit adequacy arrangement, FCA and PRA expectations even for businesses adjacent to but not directly inside financial services regulation, and UK-specific reporting or residency questions. What you don’t have is an independent read of where your business genuinely stands.
That is what this engagement is.
€15,000. Three to four weeks. Delivered in writing, with a presentation to whoever needs to hear it.
Fixed fee. No implementation work. No commissions. No product recommendations influenced by suppliers.
Why clients commission this review
- An EU-based business is expanding into the UK, or vice versa, and needs an independent read on what changes technically and operationally.
- Data flows between UK and EU entities have never been formally documented against the current post-Brexit adequacy basis.
- The business isn’t directly FCA-regulated but works closely with regulated firms, and wants confirmation its own technology posture would satisfy those counterparties’ own due diligence.
- The board wants a UK-specific baseline ahead of a specific commercial or regulatory event.
Who this is for
Boards operating in or expanding into the UK who want an independent technology and compliance baseline specific to the UK’s current regulatory environment.
Businesses adjacent to UK financial services regulation who need to satisfy regulated counterparties’ own due diligence expectations.
Who this is not for
Firms directly authorised and regulated by the FCA or PRA needing deep, regulator-specific compliance work — that’s a more specialised regulatory engagement, and we’ll help scope the right specialist if that’s what’s needed.
Businesses wanting UK legal or tax structuring advice. We assess the technology dimension; broader UK market entry structuring is a matter for UK corporate counsel.
What you receive
The Review tells you three things in writing: where your UK-specific technology and data posture genuinely stands, where the gaps are, and what to address first. Five artefacts, delivered together, in plain language.
A post-Brexit data flow assessment. UK-EU data transfers checked against the current adequacy basis, with any gap named specifically.
An FCA-adjacent resilience reading. Where relevant, an assessment of whether operational resilience posture would satisfy a regulated counterparty’s own due diligence, even without direct FCA authorisation.
A risk register sorted by business impact. Every material gap identified, ranked by consequence.
A prioritised roadmap. What to address first, second, third, sequenced against your UK commercial timeline.
A board presentation. A one-hour session with your board or leadership team, findings presented, challenged, and discussed in the room.
How the Review runs
Three to four weeks, in four phases: scoping and inventory, interviews and evidence gathering, synthesis and writing, then presentation and revisions around your board cycle.
Everything is written before it is said. Nothing is presented to your board that you have not read first.
What this is not
Legal advice on UK regulatory status or data protection obligations. The Review can inform that conversation; it does not substitute for UK regulatory counsel.
A remediation engagement. We identify and recommend; we do not implement.
