Cyber Resilience Built for Technology & Payments Companies
We protect customer data, reduce fraud and safeguard your reputation
Why Cybersecurity is Critical in Technology & Payments
The UK’s electronic payments sector is booming, with over 31 billion card transactions in 2024 totalling more than £1 trillion. Contactless now makes up 65% of credit and 76% of debit card payments, reflecting growing reliance on digital convenience. As usage rises, so does the need to protect against disruption, fraud, and loss of trust. (1)
Technology and payments companies face mounting pressure to protect sensitive financial data, secure high-availability systems, and comply with complex and evolving UK regulatory frameworks such as GDPR, PCI DSS, DORA, and the forthcoming Cyber Security and Resilience Act. With rising volumes of authorised push-payment fraud, ransomware attacks, and identity-based threats, security leaders must continuously adapt to defend both customer and business interests.
Adarma is trusted to provide security consulting and managed security services to many international technology and payment organisations as they transform, innovate and grow.
Unique Cyber Challenges for the Technology & Payments Industries
