One accountable partner from bill of materials to fielded system, fully documented.
Overview
Milliseconds on the trading floor, chain of custody on the audit trail
Regulated finance runs on two clocks at once: a trading system measured in microseconds and a compliance calendar measured in quarters. Uniqcli sources and integrates low-latency networking, branch infrastructure and zero-trust security for banks, insurers and market operators — engineered for uptime, and documented so the audit trail is ready before the examiner asks for it.
Where we fit
From the trading floor to the branch network
Trading and market-data infrastructure gets scoped for latency first — switch selection, cabling topology and rack placement all matter when microseconds move a fill. We build to your co-location and market-access requirements, not a generic data-center reference design.
Branch and ATM networks are a different problem: hundreds of physical locations that each need a consistent security posture. We standardize the kit, roll it out site by site, and layer zero-trust access and next-gen firewall segmentation over the whole estate so a single compromised branch can't become an enterprise incident.
- Low-latency trading-floor and market-data networking
- Zero-trust access and NGFW segmentation across branch and data-center estates
- Branch and ATM technology refresh at scale, kitted per site
- Audit-ready documentation and chain of custody for every deployed asset

Frequently asked
Can you spec networking for a co-location or low-latency trading environment?
Yes. Send your co-location facility and market-access requirements and we'll build the switch, cabling and rack plan around latency as the primary constraint.
Do you support multi-branch rollouts with consistent kitting?
Yes. We standardize the hardware kit per branch type and stage delivery site by site, so every location gets the same security posture on the same timeline.
Can you provide documentation for a regulatory examination?
Yes. Every deployed asset ships with chain-of-custody and configuration documentation formatted for internal audit or regulatory examiner review.
What hardware satisfies trade-timestamping clock-synchronization rules?
FINRA Rule 4590 and MiFID II RTS 25 set clock-sync tolerances for trading and reporting systems; your compliance team determines which applies and how tight the tolerance runs. The common architecture is a GNSS-disciplined grandmaster clock distributing time over PTP (IEEE 1588) to PTP-aware switches, with NTP for less critical tiers. Uniqcli sources the time servers, antennas and PTP-capable switching; the tolerance target and audit method remain yours.
Does the hardware itself need to be PCI DSS compliant?
PCI DSS assesses environments and processes, not general-purpose hardware — a switch is never 'PCI compliant' on its own. The device-level program is PCI PTS, which covers PIN-entry devices; approved models are listed publicly by the PCI Security Standards Council. Uniqcli sources network and branch hardware for cardholder-data-environment builds and, for PTS-scoped devices, quotes models whose approval status your QSA can verify on the SSC listing.
What can you provide for third-party risk and vendor due diligence?
We complete the questionnaires your TPRM process requires and document sourcing per line — the distribution channel each unit came through and chain-of-custody from our receipt to your dock. Deployed assets ship with configuration and custody records formatted for internal audit, so when an examiner asks how a device entered the environment, the answer is already in the file rather than reconstructed after the request.
Does NDAA Section 889 matter to a bank?
Section 889 directly binds federal contractors and federally funded purchases, so most institutions aren't in scope unless they hold federal contracts. But several covered manufacturers are widespread in low-cost surveillance, and many banks adopt the covered list as internal policy for branch cameras and networking. Uniqcli screens bills of materials against the list on request and documents the result — whether the driver is a contract clause or your own risk standard.
