KYND Named a Top ESGFinTech Leader in Financial Services

KYND Limited, a frontrunner in cyber risk management, celebrates its third successive appearance in the 2024 ESGFinTech100 list. Compiled by FinTech Global, this list honours top technology providers that support financial services in navigating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) challenges. KYND’s recognition highlights its dedication to empowering wealth managers, advisers, and their clients to identify, assess, and actively manage digital risks in an effective, straightforward way.

This latest accolade reinforces KYND’s position as a key player in tackling cyber risk—an often-underestimated yet vital ESG consideration. As cyber-attacks become more frequent and sophisticated, organisations are realising that cybersecurity plays a critical role in sustainability, operational resilience, and stakeholder trust. In financial services especially, managing cyber risks is now essential for fulfilling ESG obligations and ensuring long-term stability.

KYND’s cutting-edge technology provides a holistic view of an organisation’s cyber exposure, pinpointing key vulnerabilities and delivering clear, actionable recommendations. Distinguishing itself from other solutions, KYND relies on proprietary data to offer a transparent, true view of cyber risk, without opaque scoring. From due diligence assessments to portfolio management and third-party evaluations, KYND empowers wealth managers and advisers to integrate proactive cyber oversight into ESG strategies.

Andy Thomas, CEO and Founder of KYND, stated: “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 last year’s ESGFinTech100 inclusion, KYND has continued developing solutions to redefine cyber risk management for financial services. For more on KYND’s offerings, visit here.
