No, Fig Group Does Not Stand for Financial Institutions Group

Fig Group is the name of our UK cybersecurity and compliance business. It is not short for Financial Institutions Group, an investment banking term.

Financial Institutions Group describes teams that advise financial institutions on transactions and capital markets. Fig Group provides cybersecurity software and certification services. The distinction is about the service and business identity, not about excluding financial services clients: organisations in that sector can use our services too.

Fig Technology Ltd provides the compliance and security platform, including workflows for MSP client oversight, risk, monitoring and evidence. Fig Compliance Ltd delivers Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus and Defence Cyber Certification Level 0 and Level 1 assessments under its relevant IASME licences. Software support for a framework is separate from formal certification.

For the legal entities and their roles, read about Fig Group. If you are an MSP assessing the client platform, explore our MSP offering.

Start with the requirement rather than the company name alone. If a tender or customer asks for a Cyber Essentials certificate, our Cyber Essentials page explains the assessment, scope and purchase options. If you need independent technical testing as part of certification, review Cyber Essentials Plus. Its assessment process and schedule differ from Basic certification.

If your task is ongoing client oversight, the platform is the relevant service. It helps teams organise risks, evidence and remediation work across connected systems. Certification can be purchased separately: choosing software is not a prerequisite for buying an assessment from Fig Group.

The legal entity shown on a quotation or agreement depends on the service. Check the named supplier, scope, payment terms and deliverables against the order you intend to place. Our About page explains the company roles, while the claims and evidence page gives the scope and sources behind our published comparisons and turnaround guarantee. These details help you identify our business and assess the actual offer without relying on a search-result abbreviation.
