+47 416 42 944 hilde.trageton@gritera.comWe help financial institutions focus on their core business and growth by providing advisory services on the secure adoption of emerging technologies, unlocking the value of data, strengthening digital operational resilience, and navigating an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.
The financial services sector is undergoing a transformation driven by digitalization, new payment methods, increasingly stringent regulatory requirements, and a threat landscape that becomes more sophisticated every year. At the same time, trust is the foundation of the business model. Customers, the market, and regulators expect services to be available, secure, and compliant at all times. The sector spans a wide range of organizations, from banks and payment providers to life and non-life insurers, crypto-asset service providers, central securities depositories, asset and fund managers, and the ICT providers that support them all. Regardless of the type of organization, the challenges are largely the same: governance, compliance, security, and the ability to create value.
The increasing complexity across organizations, supply chains, and regulatory frameworks is driven by several factors simultaneously:
Financial institutions must balance investments in digitalization, compliance, and core systems against the need for profitability and financial resilience, often while managing a complex system landscape and limited visibility into where value is actually created. We help organizations through digital maturity assessments, as-is assessments, and the prioritization of initiatives across technology, operations, and the organization, ensuring resources are focused on the initiatives that deliver the greatest impact.
DORA brings together requirements for ICT risk management, incident management, resilience testing, and third-party risk management into a single framework, with clear expectations for both governance and documentation. We support organizations with gap assessments, implementation, and the operationalization of all Level 1 and Level 2 requirements, including the development of governance documentation, required registers, reports and processes, training, and the establishment of a proportionate framework tailored to organizations ranging from large enterprises to smaller firms and microenterprises.
The financial sector is a prime target for cybercriminals, and the consequences of a successful attack are measured in lost trust, regulatory action, and tangible financial losses. We help organizations with risk assessments, security governance aligned with recognized frameworks (including ISO/IEC 27001 and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework), third-party and vendor risk management, as well as the development of policies, incident preparedness, and incident management—grounded in the organization’s actual risk landscape and regulatory requirements.
Financial institutions hold vast amounts of data on customers, transactions, risk, and markets, but the data pipelines underpinning both business decision-making and regulatory reporting are often fragmented and vulnerable. We help organizations build a robust data foundation, define critical control points, and establish governance models that enable reliable reporting while providing a stronger foundation for analytics, risk modelling, and decision support.
We help financial institutions evaluate and adopt AI where it creates real business value, for example in fraud and anti-money laundering detection, credit assessment, claims processing, customer service, and internal efficiency improvements. We emphasize the secure, responsible, and transparent use of AI, ensuring that models, data, and decisions are documented and aligned with regulatory requirements and expectations.
Store regelverks-, sikkerhets- og moderniseringsløp er komplekse, kapitalkrevende og avhengige av koordinering på tvers av forretning, IT og leverandører. Vi leverer prosjekt- og programledelse, test og kvalitet, arkitektur, sikkerhets- og leverandøroppfølging gjennom hele livsløpet, og sørger for struktur, fremdrift og kontroll fra krav til realisert verdi.
Finansiell sektor er bærebjelken i økonomien, og konsekvensene av svikt måles i leveringssikkerhet, operasjonell- og regulatorisk risiko, og tapt tillit. Vi mener en helhetlig, verdidrevet tilnærming er avgjørende i en sektor der etterlevelse, sikkerhet og forretningsutvikling henger uløselig sammen.
We combine deep domain expertise with hands-on execution. Our consultants have experience from more than 60 organizations across the Nordic financial services sector, including banking, life and non-life insurance, asset and fund management, investment firms, electronic money institutions, payment infrastructure providers, and the ICT and technology vendors delivering core solutions to the industry.
