Fintech & Payments

Fintech products move fast and touch money directly, which means every shortcut in how they are built shows up later as risk.

WHERE IT GETS COMPLICATED

The complexity that shapes this sector

  • A product built for one market has to absorb new payment rails, currencies, and regulators as it expands.

  • APIs exposed to partners and embedded-finance customers widen the attack surface with each integration.

  • Fraud patterns shift as quickly as the product does, often faster than controls can be reviewed.

  • Funds, ledgers, and reconciliation logic sit across several services that each assume another is authoritative.

HOW WE APPROACH IT

Where we focus first

  • Payment flows — how money and data move between the product, partners, and payment rails.

  • Identity and access — authentication, authorisation, and the service accounts behind automated flows.

  • Customer channels — the app and API surfaces customers and partners use directly.

  • Resilience testing — what happens when a dependency, rail, or partner fails mid-transaction.

STANDARDS & FRAMEWORKS THAT OFTEN APPLY

  • PCI DSS
  • SOC 2
  • ISO 27001
