Banking and Financial Services

Security, compliance, and automation for banks, savings and loans companies, and fintechs.

Context

The reality in banking and financial services

Financial institutions in Ghana operate under Bank of Ghana directives covering cyber and information security, with specific expectations on incident reporting, third-party risk, and board-level accountability for technology. The sector faces sustained fraud pressure, particularly through social engineering aimed at customers and staff, and is simultaneously under commercial pressure to digitise customer journeys that were designed for a branch.

Challenges

What we hear most often

Bank of Ghana cyber and information security directives requiring evidence, not just intent.

Sustained social engineering and fraud attempts targeting both customers and staff.

Manual compliance and reporting processes that do not scale with transaction volume.

Customer journeys designed around branch visits, now expected to work on a phone.

How we help

What AITS does for banking and financial services

ISO 27001 readiness and security assessment

Gap analysis against ISO 27001 and alignment with Bank of Ghana expectations, producing the documented evidence a regulator or auditor will ask to see.

Staff security awareness training

Training that focuses on the attacks staff actually receive — phishing, pretexting, and payment redirection — rather than generic security theory.

Compliance and reporting automation

Automating the assembly of recurring regulatory reporting so it stops depending on manual consolidation under deadline.

A first conversation costs nothing and usually clarifies more than a proposal would. If we are not the right fit, we will say so.
