Security and compliance for fintech

Fintech stacks compliance regimes: SOC 2 for buyers and PCI DSS for card data, on top of the diligence a bank runs before it signs. traztech runs them from one program.

What you are up against

Fintech carries more regulatory weight than almost any other software category, and the requirements compound as you grow.

PCI DSS for cardholder data

If you store, process, or transmit card data, PCI DSS applies. Scope reduction and segmentation decide whether this is manageable or painful.

SOC 2 for enterprise and bank buyers

A SOC 2 Type II report is the baseline before a financial institution will run vendor diligence on you.

Fraud, money movement, and audit trails

Regulators and partners expect tamper-evident logging, segregation of duties, and incident response you can prove.

Fractional CISO for regulated buyers

A named executive who handles bank vendor diligence and stands behind the answers.

Fractional CISO

Penetration testing

Required by most fintech partners and PCI, scoped to the cardholder data environment and the flows around it.

Penetration testing

Incident response retainer

Agreed response times and named responders, which insurers and banking partners increasingly require.

Why traztech is poised for Fintech

traztech is run by a published security researcher with five published CVEs, including CVE-2024-45163 (CVSS 9.1), the kill-switch for the Mirai botnet covered by CyberInsider. Our principal has built and run a SOC 2 Type II programme in house, and we map SOC 2 and PCI DSS into one control set. Bank diligence teams get answers that hold up.

See the full research and CVE record, or read how we work with our partners. Once you are engaged, our auditor management & advocacy and vulnerability management services keep the program moving, tracked through your existing traztech Workspace.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need both SOC 2 and PCI DSS?

If you handle cardholder data, PCI DSS applies regardless. SOC 2 is what your enterprise and financial-institution buyers ask for. We scope one program to address both and keep PCI scope as small as possible.

Can you handle bank vendor diligence questionnaires?

Yes. A fractional CISO engagement is built for exactly this: bank-grade diligence, answered once, with the evidence behind every answer.

How do we reduce PCI DSS scope?

Through tokenization, third-party payment processors, and network segmentation so cardholder data touches as little of your environment as possible. We design this into the architecture.

Is penetration testing required for fintech?

PCI DSS requires regular penetration testing, and most banking and payment partners require it too. We scope and co-deliver it with our offensive-security partner, then own the remediation.

Every readiness programme needs a control library, an evidence register, policies and a score for the board. Being quoted five figures a year for that is normal. Paying it is not.
