Penetration Testing
Secure your financial applications, protect transaction integrity, and meet regulatory requirements like PCI DSS and SOC 2. We help fintech companies, banks, and payment processors find vulnerabilities before attackers do.

Financial platforms face unique threats that demand specialized security testing.
Payment Processing Security
Payment gateways, card-not-present flows, and tokenization systems are high-value targets. A single flaw can expose thousands of transactions and trigger costly PCI violations.
Transaction Integrity
Race conditions, rounding errors, and business logic flaws in transaction flows can be exploited to manipulate balances, duplicate transfers, or bypass spending limits.
Customer Data Protection (PCI DSS)
Cardholder data, personally identifiable information, and financial records must be protected in transit and at rest. PCI DSS mandates regular penetration testing to validate controls.
API-Driven Architectures
Open Banking APIs, payment integrations, and third-party fintech connectors expand the attack surface. Broken authentication and authorization in APIs are the leading cause of financial data breaches.
Regulatory Compliance (SOC 2, PCI)
SOC 2 Type II, PCI DSS, and state-level regulations require demonstrable security testing. Audit-ready reports with evidence of remediation save weeks of compliance effort.
Account Takeover Prevention
Credential stuffing, session hijacking, and MFA bypass attacks target financial accounts directly. We test authentication flows, session management, and fraud detection mechanisms.
How We Help Financial Organizations
Targeted security assessments designed for the financial services threat landscape.
Web Application Testing
Deep manual testing of banking portals, trading platforms, and customer-facing financial applications. We target authentication, authorization, transaction logic, and session management following OWASP WSTG methodology.
API Security Testing
Comprehensive assessment of payment APIs, Open Banking integrations, and internal microservices. We test for broken object-level authorization, mass assignment, rate limiting gaps, and data exposure aligned with the OWASP API Top 10.
Mobile App Testing
Security evaluation of iOS and Android banking apps, payment wallets, and trading platforms. We assess local data storage, certificate pinning, reverse engineering resilience, and backend API communication.
Cloud Security Assessment
Configuration review of AWS, Azure, or GCP environments hosting financial workloads. We evaluate IAM policies, encryption at rest, network segmentation, and logging aligned with CIS Benchmarks and PCI DSS cloud requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does penetration testing satisfy PCI DSS requirements?
Yes. PCI DSS Requirement 11.4 mandates annual penetration testing of the cardholder data environment. Our reports are structured to provide the evidence your QSA needs, including scope validation, methodology documentation, and proof of remediation through our complimentary retest.
How does penetration testing support SOC 2 compliance?
SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria require organizations to demonstrate that they identify and mitigate security risks. A penetration test provides independent evidence that your controls are effective. Our detailed reports map findings to relevant SOC 2 criteria and include remediation verification.
Do you test live payment processing flows?
Yes, but safely. We work with your team to set up test merchant accounts, sandbox environments, or isolated payment flows so we can assess the full transaction lifecycle—including tokenization, authorization, and settlement—without affecting real transactions or cardholder data.
What regulatory frameworks do your reports cover?
Our reports are designed to support PCI DSS, SOC 2 Type II, GLBA, NYDFS 23 NYCRR 500, and other financial regulatory requirements. Each finding includes CVSS scoring, risk context relevant to financial data, and remediation guidance that maps to your compliance obligations.
How quickly can you start testing our financial application?
We can typically begin within 24 hours of receiving signed authorization and access credentials. For PCI-scoped environments, we coordinate with your team on scope boundaries and testing windows to ensure zero disruption to production payment processing.
