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 messaging system that ensures emails exchanged between advisers, providers, and platforms are protected and accessible only by their intended recipients.
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.
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.
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.
Origo integrated Mailock with Unipass ID, creating a secure, identity-verified messaging system that fits seamlessly 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."
Anthony Rafferty, Managing Director, Origo
The partnership leverages Unipass’s existing reach and user base to deliver immediate impact.
A significant portion of the industry can now benefit from secure communications without the need for complex system changes.
Mailock with Unipass helps providers, platforms, and advisers:
"Origo’s reach through Unipass, and its industry-critical services means a large percentage of providers, platforms, advisers and their clients can quickly be protected when communicating sensitive information. This will help to protect reputations and de-risk the industry’s communications."
