Fintech & Digital Banking
Fintech companies operate under some of the most rigorous regulatory scrutiny in the technology sector. From PCI DSS for payment processing to SOC 1 for financial reporting controls, the compliance requirements are extensive and non-negotiable.
The challenge
Financial regulators in the UAE (CBUAE, DFSA, ADGM), Europe, and the US each have distinct requirements. Open banking APIs create new attack surfaces. Real-time transaction processing demands controls that work at machine speed, not audit speed.
