London, United Kingdom, 20 March 2026 – Cezanne has successfully renewed its Financial Services Qualification System (FSQS) certification for another year, reaffirming its commitment to high standards of security, compliance, and risk management.
The accreditation is an important benchmark for organisations working with financial services firms. For Cezanne, it reflects the ongoing focus placed on protecting customer data and supporting clients with robust, compliant HR and payroll solutions, including both its in-house payroll software and Smart Managed Payroll service.
What FSQS certification means
Managed by Hellios, FSQS is used by leading banks, insurers, and financial institutions to assess the governance, risk management, and compliance credentials of their suppliers. Achieving certification requires organisations to meet strict criteria across areas such as data security, operational resilience, and regulatory compliance.
By successfully renewing its certification, Cezanne continues to demonstrate that its systems, processes, and controls meet the standards expected by some of the most highly regulated organisations in the UK.
Continued investment in security and governance
The renewal reflects Cezanne’s ongoing investment in its platform, policies, and internal processes to ensure customer data remains secure and well-governed. It also reinforces its position as a trusted partner for organisations that need HR and payroll systems aligned with their own regulatory obligations.
Sarah Griffiths, Compliance Manager at Cezanne, said:
“Renewing our FSQS certification is a really important milestone for us. It reflects the standards we hold ourselves to when it comes to security, compliance, and risk management.
For our customers, it provides reassurance that they’re working with a provider that takes these responsibilities seriously, and that continues to invest in doing things the right way.”
Supporting organisations in highly regulated sectors
As Cezanne continues to grow, it remains focused on supporting organisations – particularly those in regulated industries – with HR and payroll solutions that are secure, flexible, and built to meet evolving compliance requirements.
The successful renewal of FSQS certification further strengthens Cezanne’s position as a trusted partner for organisations looking for reliable, compliant HR systems and payroll that support both operational efficiency and regulatory confidence.
