Threat Landscape

Why This Industry Is Targeted

The sectors and verticals we protect in this space.

Payment processing platforms Neobanks and digital banking Cryptocurrency and blockchain Lending and credit platforms Insurance technology Wealth management and trading platforms

Financial services companies face sophisticated, motivated attackers targeting payment systems, customer accounts, and transaction logic. Business logic vulnerabilities are the highest-risk category in fintech -attackers exploiting race conditions in payment flows, manipulating transaction amounts, bypassing withdrawal limits, and abusing referral systems. Regulatory pressure is intense: PCI-DSS requires annual penetration testing (Requirement 11.3), SOC 2 Type II demands evidence of security testing, and regulators like the OCC, FDIC, and state financial authorities expect documented security programs. A single breach can result in regulatory fines, loss of banking partnerships, and customer churn that can sink a fintech startup.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is penetration testing required for PCI-DSS?
Yes. PCI-DSS Requirement 11.3 mandates annual penetration testing of both internal and external networks, and after any significant infrastructure or application changes. The test must follow an industry-accepted methodology (like PTES or OWASP) and cover the entire cardholder data environment.
Do you test for business logic vulnerabilities?
Yes -this is a major focus for fintech engagements. We test transaction logic, payment flows, referral systems, limit enforcement, and multi-step financial processes for race conditions, parameter manipulation, and state-based attacks that automated scanners cannot detect.
Can you test our payment API without affecting live transactions?
We always test in staging or sandbox environments when available. For production testing, we coordinate closely with your team to use test accounts, test card numbers, and controlled transaction flows. We never initiate real financial transactions during testing.
What compliance frameworks do your reports cover?
Our reports map findings to PCI-DSS requirements, SOC 2 trust criteria, and OWASP standards. We partner with PCI QSAs and SOC 2 audit firms directly, so our report format is designed to satisfy auditor requirements out of the box.
How do you handle sensitive financial data during testing?
We operate under strict data handling agreements. We never store cardholder data, account numbers, or transaction records. All testing is conducted over encrypted channels, and any evidence of data exposure found during testing is reported immediately and securely.
