Entry points
Your path to auditable banking IT
Sovereign cloud & reliable evidence
Cloud and platform models with C5 certification, ISO standards, data residency, controlled service Organisation and documented auditability.
Operation of critical financial systems
AMS, Managed Services and stable operating models for core applications, payment transactions, insurance-related systems and adjacent specialist applications.
Cyber resilience & regulatory compliance
Security, logging, reporting, governance and SOC-related services that address requirements from DORA, MaRisk and BAIT/VAIT.
challenges
Banks & insurance companies in the tension between regulation, resilience and Modernisation
Increasing regulatory requirements, legacy systems and growing cyber risks – these are the most pressing challenges facing the financial industry.
Regulatory Complexity & Governance
DORA, MaRisk, BAIT, VAIT and EBA Outsourcing Guidelines form a growing regulatory framework for ICT risk management, outsourcing control and documentation.
Cybersecurity & operational resilience
The financial sector is particularly vulnerable to cyberattacks. This results in high demands on detection, response, logging, and recovery.
regulatory compliance
Security, logging, reporting, governance and SOC-related services that address requirements from DORA, MaRisk and BAIT/VAIT.
Cost and efficiency pressures
Increasing regulatory burdens and a shortage of skilled workers are increasing the need for standardised , scalable and auditable operating models.
Data, AI & Open Banking
Open Banking, Risk Analytics and AI-supported automation create potential, but increase the requirements for governance, data control and documentation.
Good reasons: Why financial institutions rely on q.beyond
-
Reliable evidence instead of abstract claims: BSI C5 certification, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO/IEC 27017:2015, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 50001:2018, EN 50600, TSI Level 3 and ISAE 3402.
-
Sovereign infrastructure: Operation in German high-security data centers with documented availability, physical security and data residency.
-
Auditable operation: ServiceOrganisation, operational processes, role models and reporting packages – comprehensible for auditors, auditors and regulators.
-
Critical infrastructure testing as a strong signal: Experience in environments with the highest demands on security, availability, documentation and operational stability.
-
Future-proof compliance: Operating models, logging concepts and reporting packages support requirements from DORA, MaRisk, BAIT/VAIT and EBA guidelines.
-
Industry references & operational proximity: Relevant customer examples and experience in operating business-critical applications in a regulated environment.
Use Cases
Practical solutions for the financial industry
Seven concrete scenarios – from core banking operations to compliance automation.
