Who we help & what you get

Typical clients (EU & beyond)

  • CASPs / Crypto firms (MiCA) — exchanges, brokers, custodians, token issuers.
  • Banks & Investment firms — DORA-aligned resilience & threat-led testing.
  • Payment & E-money institutions — PSD2/PSD3, SEPA, strong customer auth.
  • FinTech SaaS — B2B/B2C platforms integrating with banks & PSPs.
  • Insurers / InsurTech — policyholder data protection, claims platforms.
  • Critical ICT / Cloud providers — services to financial entities (DORA scope).
  • Regulated service vendors — core banking, KYC/AML, fraud, identity.
  • Non‑EU with EU footprint — UK/US/ME firms serving EU customers.

Outcomes & benefits

  • License readiness — regulator‑grade evidence packs, faster authorizations.
  • Smoother renewals — clean retest deltas; fewer follow‑ups from supervisors.
  • Operational resilience — tuned SIEM/SOAR/IDS/WAF & runbooks cut MTTR.
  • Secure SDLCCI/CD SAST/DAST guardrails; code review for crown jewels.
  • Trust & sales velocity — faster partner onboarding; better insurance terms.
  • Board‑ready visibility — KPIs tied to risk reduction, not checkbox activity.
  • Threat‑led assurance — red team exercises that validate monitoring & IR.
  • Third‑party assurance — vendor assessments aligned to DORA/MiCA expectations.

For CASPs (MiCA)

Independent security testing and evidence aligned with MiCA operational & ICT obligations. We prepare the security annexes and testing artifacts regulators ask for.

For banks & PSPs

DORA-aligned resilience program: annual testing, advanced threat-led testing cadence, incident rehearsal, and third‑party oversight support.

For FinTech SaaS

Secure SDLC, app pentests, cloud hardening, and customer‑facing security documentation that accelerates enterprise due diligence.
