Sound Familiar?

These are the challenges I hear from leaders in your space every day.

SOC 2 for Enterprise Sales

Enterprise banks and fintechs require SOC 2 Type II. Without it, deals stall in security review.

Regulatory Maze

PCI DSS, SOX, state money transmitter laws, SEC/FINRA requirements — the compliance landscape is overwhelming.

Security as Sales Enabler

Your security program should close deals, not slow them down. Security questionnaires pile up.

Fast-Moving Attack Surface

APIs, integrations, and third-party fintech connections create rapidly expanding risk.

Client Success Story
We were stuck in security review with three major bank partners for months. Adil came in, built our SOC 2 program, and within 8 months we went from zero compliance to Type II certified. Those partnerships are now our largest revenue source.

Common Questions

Fintech & Financial Services Security FAQs

Answers to the questions I hear most often from fintech & financial services leaders.

Realistically, 6-12 months from start to certified report. Type I (point-in-time) can be achieved in 4-6 months, but banks increasingly require Type II which needs a 3-6 month observation period after controls are in place. I help you start the clock early while building the program in parallel.
