Trusted by regulated enterprises we cannot name
We work with enterprise financial services groups regulated by the FCA in the UK and, separately, by BaFin in Germany. Like many firms in the sector, they do not allow suppliers to name them, so we work under NDA and let the work speak through how it is built and run.
What do regulated firms need from an Umbraco agency?
Reputation, security and trust come first. Here is how we answer the questions your risk, compliance and IT teams will ask.
Private, UK-hosted infrastructure
Azure UK South by default, with VNet integration and private endpoints for SQL, Redis, Key Vault and storage.
Compliance sign-off built in
Umbraco Workflow approval stages so legal and compliance review content before it is published.
Resilient and monitored
Zone-redundant hosting, staging-slot releases with instant rollback, availability tests and alerting.
Clear, accessible information
Architecture and UX that explain your services, people, products and key statistics to every audience.
Long-term partnership
Planned Umbraco upgrades, support SLAs and a team that knows your platform. Smiths Group has been a client for over 50 years.
What a financial or professional services website needs to do
We've built Umbraco websites for organisations in finance, property and the legal profession. The goal is the same each time: a website your stakeholders can trust, hosted securely, that your team can edit and update with confidence, and that gets each audience to the information they need quickly.
Explain your services, products, specialist teams and key people clearly
Present your strategy and key statistics where your audiences can find them
Keep current and archive materials, such as reports and publications, easy to access
Provide secure areas for storing and sharing sensitive information safely
Make it easy for people to contact you
Umbraco supports these security requirements and gives content editors an intuitive workflow. We build it on current technology standards and run it on failure-resilient Azure infrastructure.

Questions financial firms ask us
Is Umbraco secure enough for financial services?
Yes, when it is built and hosted properly. Umbraco is a mature .NET CMS. We harden it with private networking, managed identity, Key Vault secrets and least-privilege backoffice access.
Can our Umbraco site be hosted in the UK?
Yes. We host on Microsoft Azure in the UK South region by default, with environments defined as code so where everything runs is reviewable.
Do you work with firms regulated by the FCA and BaFin?
Yes. Our clients include enterprise firms regulated by the FCA and BaFin. We work under NDA and support your operational-resilience obligations, such as DORA, with documented, repeatable infrastructure.
Who are the leading Umbraco agencies in the UK for financial services?
Crumpled Dog is a London-based Umbraco Contributing Gold Partner, Cyber Essentials certified, with three Umbraco MVPs and its own secure Azure hosting tooling, working with enterprise clients regulated by the FCA and BaFin.
How do you handle Umbraco upgrades on regulated sites?
Every change goes through a staging slot first and is swapped live only after checks, with instant rollback. Infrastructure changes run a what-if preview and validation before they are applied.
