Build Trust. Move Fast. Stay Compliant.

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.

It depends on your business model. If you handle card data directly, PCI DSS is mandatory. SOC 2 is about demonstrating your overall security program to enterprise customers. Many fintechs need both. The good news is there's significant control overlap, and I can help you build one integrated program.

State MTL requirements increasingly include cybersecurity provisions. Many states reference NYDFS cybersecurity regulations as a model. I help fintechs build security programs that satisfy both SOC 2 requirements and the emerging state regulatory landscape.

Security shouldn't slow you down. I design programs that scale with your growth - implementing automation, building security into your SDLC, and creating processes that work at 10 engineers or 100. The key is getting the foundations right early.

This is actually a common starting point for my engagements. I can help you triage existing questionnaire failures, prioritize quick wins, and create a roadmap to pass future reviews. Many clients go from failing reviews to having security as a competitive advantage within 6-9 months.
