FinTech Scotland has partnered with cybersecurity and risk mitigation company NCC Group to offer its services to the cluster.

The deal aims to strengthen the security postures and boost resilience at FinTech Scotland’s 200 businesses. The companies will have access to a broad range of cybersecurity services and expert advice, helping them balance increased resilience and ongoing innovation to achieve a secure competitive advantage.

As cyberthreats put enterprises and citizens at risk, the partnership will enable FinTech Scotland to provide more cybersecurity expertise and knowledge to the Scottish fintech community.

The partnership will also see NCC Group collaborate with FinTech Scotland on marketing, events and research to help inform businesses of the importance and benefits of cyber security across the fintech ecosystem.

Nicola Anderson, CEO at FinTech Scotland, said: “Strategic partnerships with global organisations that have a strong base here in Scotland are essential to offering our community a broad range of support options to achieve growth, so we are delighted to welcome NCC Group to the cluster.

“As an experienced cybersecurity partner with considerable heritage and insight, NCC Group can support fintech development and help us continue to nurture Scotland’s high growth FinTech assets.”
