3 recommended cybersecurity packages for Fintech. Pay 50% upfront. Source code yours.

Why this combo

Cybersecurity for Fintech, done the way it should have been the first time.

The decisions we made differently — and why they matter for fintech specifically.

01

Manual pentest, not a Nessus scan in PDF.

Our pentesters have HackerOne / Bugcrowd reputation. We test logic flaws, IDOR chains, auth bypass — the stuff scanners can't find. Findings come with reproduction steps and remediation PRs.

02

SOC 2 readiness without 9 months of theater.

Type 1 readiness in a defined sprint: control mapping, evidence collection, gap remediation, auditor referral. We focus on Trust Services Criteria that fintech auditors actually push back on.

03

PCI DSS scope reduction.

If you're touching card data, scope is 80% of the cost. We help architect for tokenization (Stripe, Spreedly, Basis) and segment what's left. Less scope = less audit pain.

04

Attack-surface monitoring.

External scan + monitoring: cert expiry, exposed admin panels, leaked secrets in public repos, third-party breach notifications. We catch what your team doesn't have time for.

05

Threat model, not just a checklist.

STRIDE-style threat model on your critical flows (auth, money movement, KYC). We document attack paths and rank them, then prioritize remediation by realistic blast radius.

06

Reports that survive due-diligence.

Investors, partner banks, and enterprise customers will ask for them. Executive summary + technical detail + remediation timeline + retest sign-off — formatted for sharing.

Why Hayaiti

Why us for fintech specifically.

Fintech security is a conversation with three audiences: regulators, investors, and partner banks. All three want the same thing: proof that you took the work seriously. Our pentest reports are formatted for Series A diligence packets and SOC 2 prep handoffs — written so a lawyer or partner-bank reviewer can take them at face value. We're not a Big 4 audit firm; we don't sell you 9 months of theater. We do the technical work, and we hand you reports that hold up.

  • Pentest Engagement SKU: $14,995 / 21 days — manual web + API + report + free retest
  • Security Audit + Fix SKU: $4,995 / 7 days — audit + remediation PRs + sign-off
  • Free Vulnerability Scan SKU: $0 / 24 hours — external attack-surface scan, PDF report
  • Bug-bounty-credentialed pentesters (HackerOne, Bugcrowd reputations on file)
  • We are NOT a SOC 2 auditor — we do readiness; the formal attestation is by a CPA firm
  • No discovery call. Pricing on the page.

Shape of work

What a Fintech engagement looks like.

Cybersecurity / FintechSeries A fintech · pre-SOC 2 Type II

Pre-SOC 2 pentest + playbook

A small fintech needed a penetration test ahead of their SOC 2 Type II audit. The win wasn't the report — it was the remediation playbook that gave the engineering team a clear week-by-week path to a clean audit.

Spec engagement built to set the bar — same playbook a real client gets. Real cases publish after launch with the client’s sign-off.

FAQ

What fintech teams ask before they buy.

Will the report be acceptable to my SOC 2 auditor / partner bank?

+

Yes for the technical content — executive summary, methodology, findings with CVSS, reproduction steps, remediation status, retest sign-off. We've had reports accepted by Big 4 auditors and partner banks. Format-wise, your auditor may have a preferred template; we'll match it.

Do you test our mobile app + APIs too?

+

Yes. The Pentest Engagement SKU covers web + API by default. Mobile (iOS / Android) adds scope; we'll quote it separately after a kick-off call. We do reverse-engineering, certificate pinning bypass, and API replay testing.

How is this different from a SOC 2 audit?

+

A SOC 2 audit is an attestation by a licensed CPA firm. We're not a CPA firm. We do the technical work that SOC 2 auditors expect: pentest, vulnerability management, evidence collection. We refer you to specific CPA firms we trust for the attestation itself.

Will you sign an NDA?

+

Yes — mutual NDA, sent before the first technical call. Standard for security engagements; we sign yours or send ours.

What about PCI DSS?

+

We help with scope reduction (tokenize via Stripe / Spreedly / Basis), threat modeling, and pre-assessment readiness. The formal QSA assessment is by a licensed Qualified Security Assessor; we refer to QSAs in our network.
