Security that keeps up with the pace you ship at.

You’re cloud-native, API-first, and shipping weekly, which is exactly why your attack surface moves faster than an annual test can track. And the security review you pass is what wins the enterprise deal.

The problem

What fintech is up against.

01

APIs are your product

The cloud-native APIs that are your product, and your largest, most-changed attack surface.

The problem

APIs are your product

For fintech the API is the front door and the product, not some side entrance. Business-logic flaws, broken object-level auth, and the endpoint shipped last sprint are where it breaks, and scanners can’t reason about any of it. We test the APIs the way someone abusing them would.

  • APIs are the product and the surface
  • Business-logic and auth flaws scanners miss
  • Tested every release, not once a year

02

Shipping faster than testing

You ship weekly; an annual test sees a fraction of what you actually run.

The problem

Shipping faster than testing

A once-a-year pen test is a photo of a moving train. By the time the report lands you’ve shipped twenty times and the surface has moved. Testing has to keep pace with deploys, or new exposure just sits there until next year’s engagement finally notices.

  • Weekly deploys vs annual tests
  • The report is stale on arrival
  • Testing that keeps pace with release

03

Embedded & third-party risk

The partners and embedded-finance integrations whose compromise quietly becomes yours.

The problem

Embedded & third-party risk

Embedded finance means someone else’s code and someone else’s keys sit inside your product. Their incident is your incident, and your customers won’t draw the distinction. We map the integrations and exactly what an attacker reaches through them.

  • Embedded partners and BaaS integrations
  • Their breach is your breach
  • Mapped to what it actually reaches

04

The deal-gating review

Security review is the gate on every enterprise and bank deal. Pass it or stall.

The problem

The deal-gating review

For fintech, security is revenue as much as risk. A clean pen test and a SOC 2 are what win the enterprise contract, and a weak answer can stall a deal for a quarter. We run the testing that clears the buyer’s review and actually means something.

  • Security review gates the deal
  • A weak answer stalls revenue
  • Testing that clears the questionnaire

Bank-grade bar, startup budget

Your bank and enterprise customers demand bank-level security, without funding a bank-sized team.

The problem

Bank-grade bar, startup budget

The deals you want come with the security expectations of a tier-one bank: penetration tests, SOC 2, continuous monitoring, fast remediation. What you don’t have is a tier-one budget or a 30-person security team to deliver it. The trick is meeting a bank-grade bar with startup economics: testing aimed at exactly what your buyers and their regulators check, not everything at once.

  • Bank-grade expectations from customers
  • No bank-grade budget or headcount
  • Spend aimed at what buyers actually check

How an attacker gets in

How an attacker gets in

You’re cloud-native and API-first, so the ways in multiply with every release: a leaked key, a poisoned dependency, an over-scoped token. Most paths still land on the same prize, customer funds and data.

Regulation by regulation

The rules you answer to, and how we test for each.

For fintech, SOC 2 and a clean pen test do more than satisfy compliance. They gate every enterprise and bank deal. We run the testing that clears the buyer’s security review and means something.

StandardWhat it expectsHow we test it
SOC 2
Vulnerabilities detected and remediated (CC7.1), plus the report that gates enterprise deals.
Penetration testing that clears the buyer’s security review and means something.
PCI-DSS
Internal and external penetration testing at least annually and after change (Req 11).
API and platform testing scoped to the cardholder data environment.
DORA
Resilience and threat-led testing where you serve EU financial entities (Art 24–27).
Red teaming and resilience testing modelled on TLPT.
ISO 27001
Technical vulnerability management and security testing in development (Annex A 8.8, 8.29).
Pen testing and secure-development testing mapped to Annex A.
