Flexible Regulatory & Risk Expertise for FCA-Regulated Firms 

In today’s UK regulatory environment, firms must demonstrate continuous compliance with FCA, PRA and international regulatory standards. However, hiring and retaining experienced compliance professionals can be costly and time-consuming. 

Complyport provides specialist compliance resourcing services in the UK and internationally, supporting regulated firms with interim, project-based and fully managed solutions. Whether you require short-term cover for an SMF function, assistance with an FCA remediation programme, or outsourced AML and data protection support, our practitioners integrate quickly and deliver measurable results. 

We support investment firms, asset managers, payment institutions, e-money firms, cryptoasset businesses, banks, brokers and other regulated entities.

Our Compliance Resourcing Solutions:  

Interim Compliance & Risk Professionals 

We provide experienced compliance officers, MLROs, risk managers and regulatory specialists on an interim or fixed-term basis. This is particularly valuable where firms require: 

  • Cover for approved persons and SMF holders 
  • Support during FCA authorisation or variation of permission applications 
  • Assistance following regulatory findings or Section 166 reviews 
  • Implementation of new regulatory requirements 
  • Support during periods of rapid growth 


Our interim professionals quickly embed within your organisation and provide immediate regulatory oversight aligned with FCA Handbook requirements.
 

 

Compliance Secondment Services 

Our secondment model enables firms to strengthen internal compliance and risk teams without committing to permanent hires. Complyport specialists work directly within your business, supporting: 

  • Ongoing compliance monitoring programmes 
  • Regulatory reporting and governance 
  • Financial crime framework enhancements 
  • Policy and procedure reviews 
  • Risk assessments and gap analysis 


This approach provides flexibility while ensuring continuity of regulatory oversight.
 

 

Regulatory Project & Remediation Support 

Regulatory change, enforcement outcomes and supervisory engagement often require dedicated project teams. We assemble multi-disciplinary taskforces to manage: 

  • FCA remediation programmes 
  • Skilled Person review preparation and follow-up 
  • Consumer Duty implementation and monitoring 
  • AML framework redesign 
  • Governance restructuring 
  • Cross-border regulatory alignment 


We focus on clear documentation, accountability and timely delivery to meet regulatory expectations.
 

 

AML & Financial Crime Managed Services 

Financial crime compliance remains a supervisory priority for the FCA. Complyport delivers outsourced AML managed services designed to strengthen your financial crime controls while reducing operational strain. 

Our AML services include: 

  • Client onboarding (CDD and EDD) 
  • Risk-based customer assessments 
  • Ongoing transaction monitoring 
  • Suspicious activity reporting (SAR) support 
  • Sanctions screening oversight 
  • AML policy and control framework reviews 


Our technology-enabled solutions improve efficiency, transparency and audit readiness while ensuring alignment with UK Money Laundering Regulations and FCA expectations.
 

 

Outsourced Data Protection Officer (DPO) Services 

Under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, many firms must appoint a Data Protection Officer or demonstrate appropriate data protection governance. 

Complyport provides outsourced DPO support to help firms meet their obligations, including: 

  • Data protection compliance oversight 
  • Data mapping and records of processing activities 
  • DPIAs and risk assessments 
  • Breach management and ICO reporting 
  • Staff training and awareness 
  • Privacy notice and policy reviews 


Our DPO specialists ensure that data protection frameworks remain effective, proportionate and aligned with regulatory requirements.
 

 

CFO as a Service  

Sound financial governance is central to regulatory compliance. FCA-regulated firms must meet ongoing prudential requirements under frameworks such as MIFIDPRU, IFPR and other applicable regimes. Many firms, particularly investment firms, payment institutions and start-ups, require senior financial oversight without the cost of a full-time Chief Financial Officer. 

Complyport provides CFO as a Service, delivering experienced financial leadership and regulatory expertise on a flexible basis. Our outsourced CFO specialists support firms in maintaining robust financial controls, regulatory reporting accuracy and prudential compliance. 

Our CFO services include: 

  • Oversight of regulatory capital and liquidity requirements 
  • ICARA process design, review and documentation 
  • MIFIDPRU and prudential reporting support 
  • FCA regulatory returns and financial reporting 
  • Financial forecasting and budgeting 
  • Wind-down planning and financial adequacy assessments 
  • Governance and board reporting 
  • Support during FCA authorisations and supervisory engagement 


Our practitioners understand the interaction between finance, risk and compliance. We ensure that financial resources remain aligned with regulatory thresholds and strategic objectives, reducing the risk of supervisory challenge.
 

Whether you require interim SMF2 support, assistance preparing ICARA documentation, or ongoing prudential oversight, Complyport’s CFO as a Service provides experienced leadership tailored to your firm’s regulatory profile.
