Regulatory requirements
Regulators expect regular penetration testing and audits of information systems; in the EU, DORA adds resilience testing.
Security and software for finance and banking
For banks, fintech, investment and insurance firms: from penetration testing to secure software development, with reports ready for audit.
The industry
Financial institutions are among attackers’ favourite targets, and regulators expect you to prove your security regularly. We report penetration tests and code reviews in the detail regulators and auditors expect, help you close what we find, and build new digital products securely from the start.
Common challenges
Targeted attacks
Phishing, executive impersonation and payment redirection attempts aim straight at finance teams.
Fast product development
Mobile and web products ship quickly, and security checks need to be part of the process.
Scattered sensitive data
Customer, card and ID data can be forgotten on file shares and in old folders.
