For immediate release
Coaley Peak Ltd has been awarded FSQS (Financial Services Qualification System) registration following independent assessment by Hellios Information. The certificate confirms that Coaley Peak meets the supplier qualification standard used by the UK and Irish financial services sector to assess third-party providers.
FSQS is the supplier qualification scheme operated by Hellios on behalf of a community of more than 30 buying organisations, including major UK retail and investment banks, building societies, insurers, and asset managers. It provides a single, standardised assessment that participating institutions use to verify the financial stability, information security, business continuity, regulatory standing, and ethical trading practices of their suppliers.
The certificate is signed by the CEO of Hellios Information and is valid through to 14 May 2027. A copy of the certificate is embedded below for verification.
What FSQS registration means
FSQS registration removes a recurring point of friction in the procurement and onboarding process for clients in regulated financial services. Rather than completing bespoke supplier due-diligence questionnaires for each institution, Coaley Peak's information has been independently assessed once against the FSQS framework and is available to all participating buyers through the Hellios platform.
The assessment covers a wide range of areas relevant to third-party risk management, including financial standing, information security controls, data protection, business continuity, anti-bribery and anti-slavery practices, diversity and inclusion, environmental management, and supplier code of conduct. Registration is reviewed and refreshed annually.
FSQS sits alongside Coaley Peak's existing certifications, including ISO 9001:2015, ISO 27001:2022, and Cyber Essentials, and complements its presence on the UK Government's G-Cloud and Digital Outcomes & Specialists frameworks. The full set of independently assured credentials, with certifying-body contact details and verify links, is published on the Coaley Peak Certifications page.
