We build cybersecurity programs that protect mobile money, card issuing, and core banking from the threat model fintechs actually face — not the one a generic SOC sells.
Fintech adversaries do not phish your CEO for fun — they want a rail. We design controls around the actual money flow: from KYC fraud at onboarding, to API abuse on the wallet, to SIM-swap and account-takeover on the consumer app, to AML structuring on the ledger. Our programs harden every step against the threat model that has historically lost African fintechs millions per incident, while keeping you compliant with PCI-DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and Bank of Ghana cybersecurity directives without making engineering grind to a halt.
What changes when cybersecurity meets fintech — and how we engineer around it.
Defending OTP and number-bound auth flows against SIM-swap fraud rings that operate across MTN, Vodafone, and Airtel agent networks.
Tokenizing PAN and reducing in-scope systems so QSA audits remain affordable and pass in a single cycle, not three.
Blocking enumeration, credential stuffing, and bot-driven wallet drains at p99 latencies low enough not to dent legitimate UX.
Limiting blast radius on engineers and ops with privileged-access management, just-in-time elevation, and immutable audit trails.
Concrete capabilities our teams have shipped at the cybersecurity x fintech intersection.
PCI-DSS v4.0 scope reduction with tokenization and HSM-backed key management
SOC 2 Type II readiness and continuous control monitoring (Vanta, Drata)
Threat modeling against PCI, FFIEC, and BoG cyber directives
Account-takeover defense with device fingerprinting and behavioral biometrics
API gateway hardening with rate limiting, WAF rules, and anomaly detection
Red-team engagements covering web, mobile, and social engineering
Privileged Access Management (PAM) with just-in-time elevation
24x7 SOC monitoring with playbook-driven incident response
