Cybersecurity for FinTech companies
You move money and hold identity documents, so banks, regulators and customers all ask how you are secured. We help you build the answer and the proof.

What it is
Cybersecurity for FinTech Companies, in plain language.
This is a security programme shaped around what a FinTech company runs: the payment integration, the core application and APIs, cloud, KYC and customer data, the mobile app and staff access. For each one we find the real risks, fix them in order of impact, and collect evidence you can show to partners and auditors.
What you run
The risk
How NPLUS secures it
Payment gateway and card data
The risk: Card and payment data is exposed, or more systems fall in audit scope than needed.
Compliance Readiness. We map payment data flows against PCI DSS and other rules, and reduce what is in scope.
Core app and APIs
The risk: Broken login checks and API flaws let one customer see another's data.
Application Security. Threat modelling, code review and scanning built into how your team ships.
Cloud (AWS, Azure or GCP)
The risk: Open storage, wide permissions and missing logs expose production.
Cloud Security Review. We review accounts, access, network and logging, then set guardrails.
KYC and customer data
The risk: Identity documents are leaked, kept too long or seen by too many staff.
ISO 27001 Readiness. An information security management system that controls how sensitive data is handled.
Mobile app and servers
The risk: Known flaws in libraries and servers stay unpatched.
Vulnerability Management. Regular scanning, false positives removed, and fixes tracked to closure.
Staff laptops and admin access
The risk: One stolen password gives an attacker production access.
Identity & Access Management. Single sign-on, phishing-resistant verification and least-privilege access.
Who it's for
Written for FinTech companies.
Payments, lending, wealth, insurance technology and banking software companies. These are the people we usually work with:
- Founders and CEOs
- CTOs and heads of engineering
- CISOs and security leads
- Compliance and risk officers
- Operations and customer support heads
- Growth and partnerships leads
Cybersecurity by department
Why it matters
Why this matters for FinTech companies.
FinTech companies are attractive targets because a single flaw can lead straight to money or identity data. Partner banks and enterprise customers ask for security reviews before they sign. Regulators expect controls and records. A small engineering team that ships fast needs security that fits its release cycle, not a separate project that slows it down.
How we work
How we work with FinTech companies.
The same four steps on every engagement, sized to your team.
- Step 01
Assess
We map your assets, data and vendors, scan for vulnerabilities and review your controls against your target framework.
- Step 02
Prioritize
Every gap is ranked by business impact and likelihood, so effort goes where risk and audit pressure are highest.
- Step 03
Remediate
We work alongside your team to harden configurations, write policies and put controls in place — documented as we go.
- Step 04
Sustain
Recurring scans, access reviews, training and reporting keep your security posture measurable and audit evidence current.
What you get
The results you can expect.
- Risks in your app, APIs and cloud found and fixed in priority order
- Tight control over who can reach production and customer data
- Policies and evidence ready for audits and partner reviews
- Security checks inside your build and release process
- A tested plan for fraud, breach and outage events
We do not promise fixed numbers before we have seen your systems. In the first call we agree what to measure, and we report against it.
FAQ
Cybersecurity for FinTech companies: common questions.
Do you help with PCI DSS?
We help you prepare: mapping where card data flows, reducing scope, and closing gaps against the requirements. Formal PCI DSS assessment is done by a Qualified Security Assessor. We do not issue certificates.
SOC 2 or ISO 27001: which should a FinTech do first?
It depends on who is asking. Customers in the USA usually ask for SOC 2. Customers and partners in India, Europe and the Middle East more often ask for ISO 27001. Much of the work overlaps, so we plan it once and reuse the evidence.
Can you answer security questionnaires from partner banks?
Yes. We help you answer accurately, fix the gaps the questions reveal, and keep a library of answers and evidence for the next review.
Where should FinTech companies start with security?
Start with a short review of the systems shown in the diagram on this page. We list what you have, rank the risks by how likely and how damaging they are, and agree the first fixes. You do not need to do everything at once.
Can you guarantee we will not be breached?
No, and nobody can honestly promise that. Our work reduces the chance of an attack succeeding and limits the damage if one does, and it gives you evidence of the care you have taken.
Do you work with our existing IT team or vendor?
Yes. We work alongside your IT staff or managed service provider, give them specific tasks, and check the results. We serve clients in India and the USA.
