SOC 2 + PCI DSS for Financial Services.
FinTech companies face the most demanding compliance requirements in any industry. SOC 2 for enterprise customers, PCI DSS for card processing, and increasingly ISO 27001 for global expansion. We deliver all three — simultaneously if needed.
Common Challenges
If you process, store, or transmit cardholder data, your acquiring bank requires PCI DSS compliance. Non-compliance results in fines, increased transaction fees, and loss of card processing ability.
Banks, insurance companies, and investment firms require SOC 2 Type II from all technology vendors. Without it, you can't close enterprise financial services deals.
European financial regulators and enterprise buyers require ISO 27001. Expanding globally without it means losing deals to compliant competitors.
FinTech companies face increasing scrutiny from regulators. A mature security program with documented controls is your best defense against regulatory action.
Recommended Frameworks
Every industry has different compliance requirements. Here's what we recommend for FinTech companies — and why.
Required by enterprise financial services customers. Answers security questionnaires and unblocks deals with banks, insurance companies, and investment firms.
Required if you process, store, or transmit cardholder data. Non-compliance results in fines and loss of card processing ability.
Required for European financial services expansion. Pairs with SOC 2 for 80% control overlap.
Case Studies
A payment processing startup needed PCI DSS v4.0 compliance to maintain their acquiring bank relationship. They were still operating under v3.2.1 controls and facing a compliance deadline.
We scoped their cardholder data environment, implemented network segmentation to reduce scope, upgraded authentication controls to meet v4.0 MFA requirements, and implemented payment page script monitoring.
PCI DSS v4.0 compliance achieved before the deadline. Acquiring bank relationship maintained. Scope reduction saved approximately $30K in ongoing compliance costs.
