Thursday 21st September: fscom has appointed James Donnelly as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). In his role, James will be responsible for helping clients understand and meet their obligations to protect and uphold the data-rights and freedoms of their customers and employees.
With the introduction of PSD2 in the new year and applications for re-authorisation opening in October, James will also work directly with firms to identify what sensitive payment data they are holding and the sufficiency of their information and technology security.
With 13 years’ experience as an IT and information security manager, James is an expert in guiding companies through the process of developing strategic, appropriate and compliant IT information security management systems. Having had responsibility for both delivering an IT infrastructure and developing and implementing the strategic governance of the technology and information systems in a non-departmental public body, he brings significant practical experience and is skilled in communicating technical information to non-technical people.
Prior to joining fscom, James was the IT manager for the Consumer Council, where he successfully led the project to implement ITIL best practices to align the IT services with the needs of the organisation. He is also a Certified ISO 27001 lead implementer, certified GDPR practitioner and Prince2 project management practitioner.
“James brings a wealth of expertise to fscom, that we believe will add huge value to our clients in the coming months and years. With GDPR around the corner, James can provide compliance officers with clarity and practical advice to ensure they meet their regulatory and legal obligations,” adds Jamie Cooke, CEO at fscom.
James holds a BCS Certificate in Information Security Management Principles and an honours degree in Computing and Information Management from Ulster University.

We use an auto-login link to ensure optimum security for your members hub. Simply enter your professional work e-mail address into the input area and you’ll receive a link to directly access your account.
Instead of using passwords, we e-mail you a link to log in to the site. This allows us to automatically verify you and apply member benefits based on your e-mail domain name.

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association
Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.
For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.
The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.
Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.
Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.
For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
