Security Audits
Regulators, fraudsters, and insiders all pressure a financial firm at once. We test the branch lobby, the ATM vestibule, the back-office workstation, and the external perimeter of your network the way an adversary would, then map every finding to PCI DSS and GLBA. No product to sell, so no reason to inflate the risk.
What We Test
Regulatory Compliance
PCI DSS, GLBA, and SOX carry fines and reputational cost. We test the controls behind the attestation, not just the paperwork that claims they exist.
Fraud & Cyber Threats
Phishing, credential stuffing, and ransomware evolve weekly. We test whether one harvested login reaches funds or customer records.
Data Protection
Transaction records and client PII are the prize. We probe encryption gaps, access sprawl, and the monitoring that is supposed to catch misuse.
Branch & ATM Security
A compromised vestibule or an unattended back office is as costly as a network breach. Physical controls get tested under a real approach.
Insider Exposure
The largest financial losses come from inside. We assess least-privilege gaps and the deprovisioning process behind every badge and login.
Customer Trust
One breach erodes years of confidence. We surface the exposure before it becomes the incident that ends up in a disclosure letter.
How We Approach It
A financial audit treats compliance as the floor, not the goal. We test whether a stranger reaches a teller line or a server closet, whether a phished credential opens the transaction system, and whether branch and ATM controls hold under a real approach. Findings are risk-ranked and tied to PCI DSS, GLBA, and SOX obligations so the remediation spend survives both an examiner and a board.
Structured walk-through assessment against the full control framework, exterior and interior, plus an external network vulnerability scan. The baseline every facility should have on file.
Full adversarial engagement: unannounced physical penetration attempts, social entry testing, and converged penetration testing of the network. You learn what a real adversary learns, before one does.
Conflict-free by design: we sell no hardware and no software, so every finding is unbiased. Compare all assessment tiers.
Common Questions
Do findings map to PCI DSS and GLBA?
Yes. Each finding is tied to the specific PCI DSS requirement or GLBA Safeguards Rule element it affects, so your remediation roadmap reads directly against the standards your examiner uses.
Do you test physical branch security too?
Yes. We test the branch and ATM environment the same way we test the network: unannounced physical entry attempts, tailgating, and access-control validation, chained with the digital test rather than run separately.
Is this disruptive to daily operations?
No. Testing is designed to be invisible while it runs. Your designated contact holds our authorization letter, knows the window, and can pause at any time. Customers and most staff never notice.
Who is this for?
Community banks, credit unions, wealth and investment firms, insurance offices, and fintech operators in the Phoenix metro that carry regulatory obligations and cannot absorb a fraud or compliance failure.
