Digital security and privacy in finance and insurance
At NR, we develop secure digital solutions that protect sensitive information, strengthen compliance and build trust in the financial sector. We combine expertise in cybersecurity, cryptography, privacy, and secure data analytics to help organisations manage risk, prevent fraud and support responsible digital transformation.
Our services and areas of expertise
Our work spans several key areas within digital security and privacy, covering both technical and organisational measures. This enables secure operations, responsible data use and long-term resilience.
We offer support in the following areas:
- secure IT–OT integration
- threat and vulnerability assessment
- adaptive security and fraud prevention
- anomaly detection and monitoring
- digital twin technology for testing and modelling secure operations
- privacy-preserving technology (PETs)
- GDPR and regulatory compliance
- post-quantum and quantum-safe cryptography
- usability, accessibility and universal design
- operational resilience and maturity assessment
Protecting financial and telecommunications infrastructure
Modern financial infrastructure is a high-value target for cyberattacks and digital fraud. We help organisations strengthen their resilience by improving monitoring, increasing readiness and ensuring that critical systems can withstand both digital and operational disruptions. Our work supports fraud prevention, reduces downtime and helps maintain trust in essential financial services.
Secure and privacy-preserving data analytics
Cross-institutional data sharing and machine learning often involve sensitive personal and financial data. NR enables secure analytics through privacy-enhancing technologies that keep data inside the institution while still allowing advanced insights.
We use techniques such as homomorphic encryption and secure aggregation – which enable data analysis without sharing data externally – to protect confidentiality and ensure GDPR-compliant processing. These methods are considered post-quantum resistant, and we support organisations that need to transition to quantum-safe cryptography.
Post-quantum cryptography
Quantum computing will eventually weaken many of today’s cryptographic standards, and the EU recommends adopting post-quantum cryptography by 2030.
NR helps financial institutions assess their systems, plan the shift to quantum-safe methods and implement secure, practical solutions – without disrupting existing operations.
Usability and accessibility in digital services
Effective security relies on services being usable and accessible. We have extensive experience with usability, accessibility and user-friendly authentication in financial services.
We help organisations comply with the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and Norwegian accessibility regulations, including requirements for banking services, payment interfaces and digital platforms.
Our approach supports universal design, inclusive user journeys, improved customer trust, and reduced friction at point of authentication. This helps ensure that services are easy, accessible, and meet a wide range of user needs.
Building operational resilience
NR works with organisations to assess and strengthen the maturity of their security and operational processes. Here, maturity refers to how well an organisation’s processes support the desired quality and efficiency of its operations.
By using established models, we help identify weaknesses, improve workflows and build long-term resilience against cyber threats and system failures.
