Why Assima joined the world’s first public cloud built for financial services by IBM

October 22, 2020

Assima adopted IBM Cloud for Financial Services to deliver the most secure systems training to banks and insurance companies.

Last summer, Assima was part of the first cohort of partners to join the world’s first public cloud built for financial services by IBM. After nearly twenty years working with the largest banks in the US and Europe, security has remained a core part of our offer.

This initiative reflects our commitment to deliver the most powerful systems training to our financial services clients – while meeting the highest security standards.

What is IBM Cloud for Financial Services?

It’s a public cloud ecosystem specifically designed to address the ever-evolving regulatory compliance, security, and resiliency requirements of the financial services industry. Its mission is crystal clear: help financial institutions scale their public cloud with confidence, knowing that they will meet regulatory standards.

Quick facts about IBM Cloud for Financial Services:

  • First announced in November 2019.
  • IBM collaborated extensively with Bank of America and Promontory to develop control requirements for the platform.
  • It’s the only public cloud platform that can provide preventative and compensatory controls for financial services regulatory workloads.
  • Backed by the highest level of security certification commercially available.

At the heart of this ecosystem is the IBM Cloud Framework for Financial Services. It provides a standard set of criteria and compliance controls to help financial institutions assess technology vendors more efficiently. Every independent software vendor taking part in the ecosystem, including Assima, has been vetted and deemed to meet these standards. This framework will be continuously updated to address the latest industry regulations.

The Framework includes:

  • Extensive control set spanning cybersecurity, data privacy, access management, and configuration management.
  • Goes beyond common compliance and regulatory standards, e.g., PCFI, SOC, FFIEC, etc.
  • Policy provisions for continuous updates relative to changing regulatory requirements.

Why did Assima adopt IBM Cloud for Financial Services?

We’ve been partners with IBM for years. Jumping at the opportunity to be among the first to join their industry-first platform built for financial services was a no-brainer. It’s helping us stay one step ahead of evolving regulations and deliver a better, more secure product for our clients.
