Proteus awarded FSQS certification again – what it means for you

We’re proud to share that Proteus has once again achieved FSQS certification.

This continued certification reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering secure, compliant and trusted solutions for our clients, particularly those operating in regulated industries.

What is FSQS?

The Financial Supplier Qualification System (FSQS) is a widely recognised standard used by leading financial institutions to assess and qualify their suppliers. It provides a consistent framework for evaluating areas such as compliance, data protection, risk management and governance.

By meeting these requirements, suppliers demonstrate that they operate responsibly and meet the high standards expected across the financial services sector.

What this means for our clients

Retaining FSQS certification gives our clients reassurance that:

• Our processes meet industry recognised standards across security, compliance and governance
• Due diligence is already in place, helping streamline procurement and onboarding
• Risk is reduced, with systems and controls independently assessed against sector expectations
• They’re working with a trusted partner who understands the demands of regulated environments

For organisations navigating increasingly complex regulatory requirements, this provides peace of mind that their communications partner is already aligned to those expectations.

Why it matters to us

Maintaining FSQS certification is not just a badge. It is an ongoing process. Each year, we are required to evidence how we operate across areas including data security, business continuity and responsible business practices. That scrutiny helps us continuously improve, refine our processes, and ensure we are always delivering to the highest standards. It also reinforces the way we work with clients. We simplify complexity, reduce risk, and create communications that are effective and compliant.
