Azure Active Directory Services in the UK for Fintech & Digital Banking
Centralised identity management securing every user across your fintech company.
Zero Trust Security
Conditional access policies verify every sign-in against device compliance, location, risk level, and application sensitivity before granting access.
Single Sign-On
One set of credentials for Microsoft 365, Azure, and hundreds of third-party SaaS applications — improving security and reducing password fatigue.
Lifecycle Automation
Automated provisioning and deprovisioning ensures joiners get access on day one and leavers are disabled immediately.
Fintech & Digital Banking manage multiple user identities across payment gateways, open banking APIs, and core ledger systems and numerous other platforms. Without centralised identity management, password fatigue leads to weak credentials, and ex-staff retain access to sensitive transaction data, KYC records, and payment processing logs. Azure Active Directory brings order to identity chaos across your fintech company.
Cloudswitched delivers Azure Active Directory solutions for UK fintech & digital banking. We configure Azure AD with single sign-on for payment gateways, open banking APIs, and core ledger systems, enforce multi-factor authentication, and build conditional access policies that protect transaction data, KYC records, and payment processing logs. Automated provisioning and de-provisioning ensure joiners and leavers are handled instantly, reducing security risk across your fintech company.
