Banking and financial services
Compliance-driven security for payment systems, SWIFT connectivity, digital channels and customer data.
Banks run on trust, and attackers know it. We help financial institutions protect payment systems and customer data, prove compliance to regulators and auditors, and detect attacks early enough to stop them.
Our work ranges from SWIFT CSP and PCI DSS readiness and independent penetration testing of digital channels, to deploying and tuning detection platforms for the security operations team and training staff to recognize fraud and phishing.
Challenges we see
- Digital banking channels and mobile apps expand the attack surface faster than controls can follow.
- SWIFT connectivity and card payments carry strict, regularly updated control requirements.
- Fraud, phishing and business email compromise target both customers and staff.
- Regulators and boards expect evidence of control effectiveness, not just policies.
- Legacy core systems must be protected without disrupting 24-hour payment operations.
Frameworks and standards
- PCI DSS v4.0.1
- SWIFT Customer Security Controls Framework (CSCF)
- ISO/IEC 27001:2022
- NIST CSF 2.0
How we help
-
Compliance Readiness
Preparation for ISO/IEC 27001, PCI DSS, SWIFT CSCF and other requirements, from gap analysis to audit support.
NIST CSF function: Govern -
Penetration Testing
Controlled, authorized attacks on your networks, applications and people to find what a real attacker could exploit — and how to fix it.
NIST CSF function: Identify NIST CSF function: Protect -
Compromise Assessment
A focused investigation to determine whether attackers are already inside your environment, what they accessed, and what to do next.

Security Information & Event Management (SIEM)
Central collection, correlation and investigation of security logs, with use cases built around your real risks and regulatory needs.

Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI)
Intelligence on the threats, actors and fraud targeting your organization, plus monitoring for leaked data, phishing domains and brand abuse.
NIST CSF function: Identify NIST CSF function: Detect -
Identity & Access Management (IAM)
Identity and access management with single sign-on, so the right people reach the right systems and access is granted and removed through a clear process.
NIST CSF function: Protect -
Security Awareness Training
Engaging, role-based awareness training and phishing simulations in Arabic and English that change how staff behave.
