What Infosys / HCL / Wipro gets wrong in United Kingdom
UK GDPR's international transfer requirements create specific compliance complexity for the Indian IT majors' UK operations. Transfers of UK personal data to India require either standard contractual clauses with a transfer risk assessment or binding corporate rules — ongoing compliance mechanisms that add overhead to the offshore delivery model. The UK ICO's increasingly active enforcement posture on international data transfers means that the compliance mechanisms Infosys, HCL, and Wipro use for UK-to-India data flows are under growing scrutiny.
FCA and PRA operational resilience requirements are creating new demands on UK financial services technology providers. The FCA expects regulated firms to understand the resilience of their critical service providers — including for firms like Wipro that have experienced significant technology incidents (the Wipro breach in 2019 that compromised multiple client environments). For UK financial services clients, Wipro's 2019 breach history is directly relevant to CPS 234-equivalent FCA resilience assessments.
