The Financial Services Specialist Group is a specialist group within the British Computer Society, a registered charity incorporated by Royal Charter in 1984.[7] The group was established in 2002, and it focuses on the intersection of technology and financial services, providing networking opportunities and facilitating discussions on key industry topics.
Activities
The group collaborates with other BCS Specialist Groups and occasionally organizes joint events to encourage cross-sector discussions. FINSIG has been featured in industry publications such as ITNOW[8] and Business and Industry,[9] contributing insights on topics like the evolution of money and emerging trends in financial technology. The group also plays an active role in external industry initiatives, including participation in the FStech Awards, which celebrate excellence in financial services technology.[10]
Research and contributions
In 2020, FINSIG supported a survey examining financial services professionals’ perceptions of cybersecurity threats. Conducted over eight weeks, the study gathered insights from professionals in fraud, risk, security, and IT. The findings contributed to discussions on security culture and risk management in financial services. It gathered 85 responses, providing insights into common attitudes and opinions on attacker personas. A small pilot study was conducted before full distribution, and the study adhered to ethical guidelines, ensuring voluntary participation and anonymity. The findings contributed to discussions on security culture, risk management, and user behavior in financial services organisations.[11]
