This is a question that increasingly occupies a lot of minds across industries. For financial service providers, it depends on not just how their customer data is stored and protected, but how it is processed and used on a day to day basis.

Again, this is not a unique requirement for financial services firms in the U.K. – preventing financial crime is a pain felt all around the world.
