Financial technology built to pass review

In financial services, the security questionnaire and the compliance review decide what ships. We build with both in the room from the start.

The sector

Financial firms carry regulatory obligations that touch every layer of a digital product: how customer data is stored, how decisions are explained, what marketing may claim, how long records are retained and who can access what. Retrofitting those requirements onto a finished system is expensive, and it is the most common reason fintech projects slip.

We design against the applicable framework from the outset — GLBA safeguards, SOC 2 controls, PCI DSS where card data is involved, FINRA and SEC advertising rules for advisors, and fair lending requirements where models influence credit decisions. That includes model explainability, because an adverse action notice has to state a reason.

What you are up against

The pressures shaping financial services right now

Regulatory exposure is severe

GLBA, SEC and FINRA rules, state lending law and fair lending requirements carry meaningful penalties and personal liability for principals.

Trust is the entire product

A security incident or a compliance failure damages a financial brand far beyond its direct cost, and the recovery is measured in years.

Fintech competitors set the experience bar

Digital-first entrants have trained customers to expect instant onboarding and clear interfaces, which legacy platforms struggle to match.

Legacy core systems constrain everything

Core banking and portfolio systems are stable, critical and hard to extend, so innovation has to happen at the edges.

Questions

Financial Services: common questions

Sector-specific answers on compliance, integration and what tends to matter in financial services.

Yes. We complete vendor security questionnaires, work under your MSA and DPA, carry appropriate insurance, and design to your control framework. We would rather absorb that work upfront than discover it late.
