Managed by Hellios, FSQS is an accreditation system for the financial sector that recognises the highest standards in security, quality and innovation. The FSQS Standard was created by financial institutions including banks, building societies, insurance companies and investment services, collaborating to agree a single standard for collecting the increasing amount and complexity of third-party information needed to demonstrate compliance to the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority.
This accreditation requires suppliers to financial services firms to be stringently audited against FSQS requirements across all key risk control areas including information/cyber security, data privacy, business continuity, financial crime, conduct risk, financial, legal and corporate responsibility.
Renewing its FSQS-qualified supplier status validates Planixs as a trusted supplier of software solutions for large enterprise banks and leading financial institutions.
Neville Roberts, Planixs’ CEO, comments: “We are delighted to renew the FSQS certificate as it demonstrates the quality of our internal processes and procedures to the very high standards required by the financial services sector. Registration reassures our customers and partners that we have gone through a rigorous process and embedded the necessary systems and controls required by all major financial institutions.”
