KYND Limited, an expert in cyber risk management, proudly marks its third year of recognition in the 2024 ESGFinTech100 list, curated by FinTech Global to celebrate top tech providers addressing key environmental, social, and governance (ESG) challenges for the financial services industry. KYND’s inclusion underscores its commitment to equipping wealth managers, financial advisers, and their clients with tools to manage digital risks effectively and transparently.
This award highlights KYND’s leading role in addressing cyber risk, a significant yet often overlooked ESG factor. As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated, organisations are realising that cybersecurity is essential to sustainability, resilience, and maintaining stakeholder trust. Within financial services, managing cyber risks effectively has become integral to fulfilling ESG objectives and safeguarding long-term value.
KYND’s innovative approach provides a comprehensive view of an organisation’s cyber risk profile, identifying critical threats and offering prioritised remediation steps. Unlike many solutions that employ complex scoring, KYND utilises proprietary risk data to offer clear, transparent insights into vulnerabilities. From transaction due diligence to ongoing portfolio management, KYND enables wealth managers and advisers to seamlessly integrate cyber risk management into ESG considerations.
Andy Thomas, CEO and Founder of KYND, commented: “We’re so delighted to be awarded with this honour by FinTech Global once more! Cyber risk is rapidly becoming one of the most financially material threats to modern businesses, but its importance in the ESG landscape is still not fully appreciated. At KYND, we’re passionate about helping companies bridge that gap, equipping them with the insights and tools they need to navigate today’s volatile cyber threat environment. Cyber risk management is not just a technical issue; it’s a core element of business resilience and ESG compliance. We will continue to innovate and deliver best-in-class solutions that support our partners in financial services to stay ahead of the curve and safeguard the value and stability of their organisations, as well as the wider cyber ecosystem.”
Richard Sachar, Director of FinTech Global, remarked: “ESG-focused frameworks like CSRD are becoming more common around the world. Financial institutions face mounting requirements for ESG reports and alignment to sustainability targets. The ESGFinTech100 serves as a crucial resource for senior management, helping them identify the leading ESG tech companies. The detailed company profiles offer insights into their solutions, the challenges they address, their operational regions, and more. This guide is essential for any organisation committed to achieving net-zero targets.”
Since joining the ESGFinTech100 last year, KYND has continued its efforts to advance solutions that redefine cyber risk management for financial services. For further details on KYND’s solutions, visit here.
