KYND recognised as one of worlds’ leading ESGFinTech companies for financial services
LONDON, UK. November 6th, 2024 - KYND Limited, a pioneer in cyber risk management, is thrilled to announce its recognition for the third year in a row in the prestigious 2024 ESGFinTech100 list. Organised by FinTech Global to showcase the top technology providers helping financial services tackle the complex environmental, social, and governance (ESG) challenges of today, KYND was recognised for its commitment to enabling wealth managers, financial advisors, and their clients to identify, assess, and proactively manage digital risks in a simple, effective, and impactful way. 

This year’s inclusion cements KYND’s status as a leading force in addressing one of the most pressing yet often underestimated ESG concerns: cyber risk. As the frequency and sophistication of cyber-attacks increase, organisations are realising that their cyber health is directly linked to their overall sustainability, operational resilience, and stakeholder trust. For the financial services sector in particular, effective management of cyber risks has become a critical part of fulfilling ESG commitments and ensuring long-term value preservation.

KYND’s innovative technology provides a complete view of an organisation’s cyber exposure, flagging critical vulnerabilities and delivering clear, prioritised remediation recommendations. Its unique approach stands out from other solutions in the market by shunning opaque scoring systems and using proprietary risk data to give a true, transparent picture of a company’s risk. Whether it’s during due diligence for a transaction, ongoing portfolio management, or third-party screening, KYND empowers wealth managers and financial advisors to take control of their investments’ cyber risk with confidence and incorporate proactive cyber risk management as a fundamental component of their ESG strategies.

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, commented: "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 organization committed to achieving net-zero targets.” 

Since its inclusion in the ESGFinTech100 last year, KYND has worked extensively to develop next-generation solutions to reimagine an existing approach to cyber risk within the financial services industry. For more information about KYND and its cyber risk management solutions, visit here.
