Navos Technologies joins FinTech West to strengthen cyber resilience for regulated firms

New partnership brings cybersecurity expertise to FinTech West's 5,000+ member community across the South West

BRISTOL, 15th July 2026 - FinTech West, the representative body for FinTech in the South West of England, has partnered with Navos, a technology advisory, cybersecurity and software engineering firm for regulated industries, as financial advice, wealth management, insurance and legal firms face growing pressure to demonstrate cyber and operational resilience.

The partnership lands weeks after the government's latest Cyber Security Breaches Survey found 43% of UK businesses reported a breach or attack in the past year, and the proportion of those businesses saying it hurt their revenue or share value, rose from 2% to 5%.(1) In June 2026, the FCA's Cross-Market Operational Resilience Group, working with the Bank of England and UK Finance, published new guidance on managing cyber and frontier AI risk together, a sign of how closely the two now sit for regulated firms.(2)

Commenting on the partnership, Stuart Harrison, Founder and CEO, FinTech West said: “Cyber resilience is no longer simply an IT issue, it is a board-level priority. By bringing Navos into the FinTech West community, we are giving organisations access to the specialist expertise they need to anticipate disruption, strengthen their resilience and respond effectively when incidents occur.”

Navos works exclusively with regulated firms, providing independent advice, cyber resilience support and bespoke engineering built for the rigours of FCA-regulated environments.

David Davies, CEO, Navos said: “Financial services firms understand cybersecurity matters, but other priorities, like AI, are increasingly competing for attention. If a firm cannot keep serving its clients through a cyberattack, every other item on the agenda pales in comparison. We are pleased to be joining the FinTech West ecosystem to help highlight this important issue and support the community with their cybersecurity challenges.”

The partnership marks the start of a broader relationship, with Navos becoming an active partner across FinTech West's ecosystem, including supporting FinTech West's members through events and expert insights into financial technology.
