Cybersecurity for financial services, aimed at the exam and the attacker
Financial firms face two audiences: examiners who want evidence, and attackers who want money. Work that satisfies only the first is theatre, and we build for both.
What changes here
Cybersecurity Services in finance is not the same engagement
PCI DSS scope reduced before it is defended
The cheapest way to secure card data is to stop holding it. Tokenization and hosted payment fields shrink the assessed environment before any control is bought for it.
Account takeover treated as the primary threat
Credential stuffing, session handling, and step-up authentication tested as attackers actually use them, because ATO is where consumer financial loss concentrates.
Third-party risk with actual evidence
Vendor questionnaires answered by your suppliers are not assurance. We test the integrations and access paths that vendors actually hold into your environment.
What the regime actually requires
Financial services carry overlapping obligations, and the overlap is where effort gets wasted. Mapping controls once against all of them is the saving.
- GLBA Safeguards Rule: a written security programme with a named qualified individual
- PCI DSS where card data is stored, processed, or transmitted — including by your vendors
- Incident notification timelines that differ by regulator and by state
- Vendor management evidence, including access reviews over third-party accounts
The work itself
Full cybersecurity services pagePenetration testing and application security
Authenticated testing of web, mobile, and API surfaces against the OWASP Top 10 and business-logic abuse, with reproductions rather than scanner output.
Cloud and infrastructure security assessment
IAM, network exposure, storage, encryption, and logging reviewed against CIS benchmarks across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
Code and supply-chain review
Secure code review on the paths that handle money, identity, and personal data, plus dependency, image, and secret scanning wired into CI.
Remediation alongside your engineers
We fix, or pair with the people who will — prioritized by exploitability and blast radius, then retested so the finding is closed rather than acknowledged.
SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI DSS readiness
Control mapping, policy and evidence collection, and the technical gaps closed before an auditor names them. We prepare you; the audit itself is signed by a licensed firm.
Monitoring, response, and access review
Security logging that survives an incident, an incident-response runbook rehearsed once rather than never, and access reviews on a schedule.
