Cybersecurity for Fintech & Banking
Protect sensitive financial data, meet strict regulatory requirements, and build customer trust. SecureSystems delivers enterprise-grade security and compliance solutions built for the financial sector.
Security in the Age of Digital Finance
Financial services face the highest stakes in cybersecurity.
From fintech startups and neobanks to established financial institutions, the financial sector faces relentless cyber threats and intense regulatory scrutiny. You’re handling people’s money, their financial data, and their trust — there’s no room for security gaps.
SecureSystems brings deep expertise in financial services security. We understand your regulators (OCC, FDIC, SEC, FINRA, state banking authorities), your compliance requirements (SOC 2, PCI DSS, GLBA), and the sophisticated attacks targeting your industry. We help you build security that satisfies auditors, earns customer trust, and protects what matters most.

Threats Facing Financial Services
Know what you’re defending against.
Account Takeover (ATO)
Attackers use stolen credentials, SIM swapping, and social engineering to take over customer accounts and initiate fraudulent transfers.
Wire & ACH Fraud
Business email compromise (BEC) and fraudulent payment instructions cost financial institutions billions annually.
Ransomware
Financial institutions are prime ransomware targets — the pressure to restore services makes them more likely to pay.
API Attacks
Open banking APIs and integrations create new attack surfaces. Broken authentication and data exposure vulnerabilities are common.
Third-Party Risk
Fintechs rely on dozens of vendors — payment processors, core banking providers, cloud services. Each is a potential weak link.
Insider Threats
Employees and contractors with privileged access can cause significant damage — whether malicious or accidental.

Fintech Security FAQ
Common questions from financial services clients.
Do I need SOC 1 or SOC 2?
SOC 2 is for security, availability, and data protection — most fintechs need this. SOC 1 is specifically for services that affect clients’ financial reporting (payment processing, loan servicing). Many financial services companies need both.
How long does SOC 2 take for a fintech?
For most fintechs, Type I can be achieved in 4-8 weeks. Type II requires an observation period of 3-12 months after controls are in place. Total timeline is typically 4-6 months for Type II.
What compliance do I need for bank partnerships?
Most sponsor banks require SOC 2 Type II at minimum, plus documented security policies, penetration testing, incident response plans, and often specific regulatory compliance (PCI if payments, state lending if loans).
Is PCI DSS required for all fintechs?
Only if you store, process, or transmit cardholder data. Many fintechs use payment processors (Stripe, Plaid) that handle card data, reducing PCI scope. We help you determine your actual requirements.
What is GLBA and does it apply to us?
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act applies to financial institutions and requires safeguarding customer financial information. Most fintechs fall under GLBA if they offer financial products or services.
How do you help with regulatory exams?
We help prepare for OCC, FDIC, Fed, and state regulator exams — organizing evidence, conducting mock exams, remediating findings, and supporting you through the examination process.
