In finance, a weakness is fraud, a fine, or lost trust. We find it first.
Banks, payment providers and fintechs handle their customers’ money and personal data, which is exactly why they are permanently on the radar of attackers, and of regulators too. We do the offensive testing and prove what could actually be reached.

Trusted by financial-sector teams across Europe.
In finance, a weakness is never just a bug.
A security flaw in a financial platform does not stay technical for long. It turns into fraud, into a problem with the regulator, or into the fastest way to lose the trust your business runs on, and often into all three at once.

The threats that hit the financial sector hardest.
Generic security testing misses what matters in financial services. The risk isn’t a leaked spreadsheet: it’s a fraudulent transaction, a non-compliant flow or an API path that lets one tenant reach another’s data.
01
Ransomware and extortion
They encrypt and steal at once: the aim is not to stop you, but to make you pay.
02
Transactional fraud
Account takeover, API abuse and payment flows: fraud gets in exactly where the money moves.
03
Supply chain and connected apps
Integrations, third parties and OAuth permissions: every new connection widens the surface someone can use.
04
Regulation and operational resilience
DORA, PCI DSS and your supervisor want periodic testing and technical evidence, not a statement of intent.
Why does a financial company call us?
A payment gateway goes into production
A new payment path changes authentication, tokens and retries, and goes live with real money behind it. That is the moment to see what can be manipulated.
A PCI DSS audit is imminent
If you handle card data, PCI DSS requires regular penetration testing, and your QSA will ask for the technical evidence before the assessment.
An open banking API goes live
Open APIs and extra access checks widen the ways in. Publishing them without testing who can reach what leaves the gap open.
After a fraud incident
Account takeover or an abused payment flow has already happened once. What is left to find out is which other routes are still open.
A supervisory examination is in the diary
Your auditor or the authority makes the formal assessment. What they ask first is what you tested, when, and what came out of it.
A third-party breach lands on you
Integrations, third parties and tokens carrying more access than they should. When the failure is someone else’s, the exposed data is still yours.
Due diligence on an acquisition
Before signing, someone has to say what technical risk is being bought, and that holds up on proven findings rather than a declaration.
A 30-minute session with a senior consultant who specialises in financial services.

Questions we get from fintech CISOs and heads of security.
Six questions we hear in every fintech introductory meeting. If yours isn’t here, ask it.
The most common serious problem is one customer being able to reach another customer’s data, along with over-exposed data, weak permission setups, and old endpoints left running in production after everyone forgot about them. These are logic and access problems a scanner cannot judge, which is why we test them by hand.
Yes. We test your single sign-on, the apps connected to it and the access each one is granted, along with the ways an attacker could abuse them to reach data or take over an account. In fintech, this is often where the real risk lives.
No. A scanner or a CSPM lists possible issues; an audit checks that controls and documents exist. We prove which weaknesses are actually exploitable, chain them into real attack paths, and rank them by business impact. Most financial firms run all of these, and we often start from your scanner or CSPM output to focus the test.
No, not without your explicit consent. Every engagement runs under documented Rules of Engagement: agreed windows, limits, forbidden actions and a coordination channel. We do not use disruptive techniques against live payment systems unless it is specifically authorised, and we design the test to give you an attacker’s view without risking operations.
Yes, directly. PCI DSS requires regular penetration testing, and our reports are built in the format a QSA expects. DORA can require threat-led penetration testing for significant entities, which is exactly what our red team delivers. In both cases you get the technical evidence the assessment needs, closed with a retest.
You get an executive and technical report, a prioritised remediation guide, a certificate of execution, and a retest with documented closure evidence, all traceable and exportable from the platform. It is built to drop straight into a PCI DSS, DORA or GDPR file.
Other sectors we work with.
Ready to prove your fintech is secure?
We work with banks, fintechs, payment platforms and financial institutions to test their security with the same rigour a regulator demands. We define the scope carefully, we run the tests without interrupting your operation, and we hand over technical evidence ready for your auditor and your board, closed with a retest.
