Security for fintech.

Fintech sells trust. Your customers, partners and regulators all want proof your platform is secure before they'll move money through it. We help you build that proof and keep it current.

Why it's different for Fintech

You hold money and sensitive financial data, so the bar is higher and the scrutiny is constant. Enterprise customers send long security questionnaires, banking partners expect specific controls, and regulators have their own requirements. A single gap can stall a partnership or an audit.

Real Threats

The actual risks.

Fintech platforms operate in a high-incentive threat environment. Key risks include API logic abuse (such as broken object-level authorization and IDORs), transaction tampering, and credential stuffing. Since fintechs connect legacy core banking nodes to modern mobile apps via web APIs, attackers target parameter manipulation to redirect funds, initiate unauthorized loans, or harvest cardholder data (PCI-scoped data) and financial PII.

Compliance Drivers

What forces audits.

Fintech compliance is heavily mandated. Key drivers include PCI DSS v4.0 for cardholder data environments, local banking guidelines (such as the Reserve Bank of India directions for payment aggregators), and Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) requirements in the US. In Europe, the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and PSD3 dictate strict resilience testing, business continuity, and third-party risk management.

Buyer Scenario

Why security buys.

A fintech platform is preparing to launch a joint digital lending product with an empanelled retail bank. The bank's risk and compliance committee refuses to approve the integration until the startup presents a certified PCI DSS compliance attestation, a detailed external API penetration testing report, and proof of a managed vulnerability scanning cycle. The startup needs an experienced security team to immediately perform the assessments and help close the gaps.

FAQ

Fintech: common questions

Which certification do fintech buyers want?

Usually SOC 2 first for US and enterprise partners, with ISO 27001 close behind for international reach. We map which you need on a call.

Do you cover payment-data requirements?

Yes. If you store or process card data directly, PCI DSS applies, and we scope it with you alongside SOC 2 or ISO 27001.
