Supporting City of London businesses
The City of London, the Square Mile, is one of the world's leading financial centres. The Bank of England, the London Stock Exchange and Lloyd's of London are all here, alongside global banks, insurers, asset managers and many of the largest law and accountancy firms. Around them are thousands of smaller businesses: boutique law firms, insurance brokers, Lloyd's market service companies, wealth managers, fintech start-ups, compliance consultants, recruiters and serviced office tenants.
The City's business districts each have their own character. The insurance cluster around Lime Street and Leadenhall, the legal firms towards Fleet Street and Chancery Lane, and the technology and fintech businesses spilling towards Shoreditch and Aldgate all bring different needs. Many small firms here work from serviced offices or shared floors, rely entirely on cloud systems, and have clients who expect strong controls around confidential data. Regulators such as the Financial Conduct Authority set expectations on record keeping and operational resilience for regulated businesses.
For smaller City firms, the IT and website work we are asked about includes:
- Microsoft 365 hardened with MFA, Conditional Access, Defender and retention policies, so client data is protected and recoverable.
- Email protected against spoofing and invoice fraud with SPF, DKIM and DMARC, plus staff awareness of payment diversion scams.
- Laptops managed through Intune and encrypted with BitLocker for staff moving between office, home and client sites.
- Professional websites that load quickly, show regulatory information clearly and stay patched.
dijitul supports small City firms remotely from Mansfield. We do not replace a regulated firm's compliance function, but we put the technical controls in place and keep them maintained. Any work that needs someone on site is explained and quoted upfront.

Can you help us meet our regulator's expectations on IT?
dijitul can put technical controls in place, such as MFA, encryption, email retention, backups and access reviews, and document them clearly. We are not a compliance consultancy and do not give regulatory advice, but we work alongside your compliance lead to make the IT match your policies.
