Securing Email in the Financial Services with Origo

Cyber attacks on unsecured emails are on the rise, putting personal and financial data at risk.

To combat the threat, Origo partnered with Beyond Encryption to launch a secure email solution built on Unipass ID.

Origo has teamed up with Beyond Encryption to tackle rising cybersecurity concerns in the financial services industry.

The partnership introduces a secure email platform that helps ensure emails exchanged between advisers, providers, and platforms are protected and accessible only by their intended recipients.

Who Is Origo?

Origo is a fintech company providing technology services for the UK's financial sector.

Its flagship identity solution, Unipass ID, is trusted by more than 45,000 advisers to access platforms and providers efficiently and securely.

The Challenge

Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting unsecured email communications to access sensitive personal and financial information.

The need for resilient security, especially in line with evolving FCA guidance, is pressing across the sector.

What The FCA Expects

Firms are expected to close gaps in operational resilience and prioritise investments that safeguard customer data and day-to-day communications.

The Financial Conduct Authority's 'Dear CEO' letter emphasised the need for platforms to address gaps in operational resilience and to prioritise investments that safeguard customer data and communications.

The Solution

Origo integrated Mailock with Unipass ID, creating a secure, identity-verified messaging system that fits into existing adviser-provider workflows.

This allows users to send and receive messages containing sensitive information - such as financial, medical, or policy data - without disrupting their existing email tools, ensuring only verified recipients can gain access.

"Cybercrime is increasingly a threat to businesses and their clients, with criminals actively using technology to target unsecured emails and access sensitive and valuable information."
