Fintech-Specific Challenges

Where Fintech
Agile Struggles

Compliance Overhead

Regulatory requirements create change approval bottlenecks. We identify which controls are necessary versus which can be streamlined without increasing compliance risk.

Audit Trail Integrity

Regulators require traceable delivery processes. We assess whether your current Agile workflow produces the artefacts needed for PCI DSS, PSD2, and GDPR audits.

Release Governance

Complex financial systems require careful release orchestration. We analyse your deployment pipeline, change management process, and rollback capability.

What's Covered

Questions

Questions from CTOs, Heads of Engineering, and Delivery Directors in regulated financial services.

Book Free Call
Do you understand PCI DSS and PSD2 requirements?
Yes. Previous engagements include banking and payments teams working under PCI DSS Level 1 and PSD2 SCA requirements. The audit frames recommendations within your actual regulatory constraints.
We have a strict CAB process — can Agile coexist with it?
Yes. The goal isn't to remove your CAB — it's to make it less of a bottleneck. We find the approval steps that can be automated or shifted left without increasing risk.
How do you handle sensitive financial data during the audit?
No access to production data or customer data is required. The audit focuses on process, metrics, and artefact quality — not business data. A standard NDA covers all engagements.
We're a challenger bank scaling rapidly. Is this relevant?
Especially relevant. Challenger banks face the exact tension of moving at fintech speed while building towards banking-grade compliance. Early audit findings prevent expensive rework.
Can this help with an upcoming FCA or EBA inspection?
An audit that documents your delivery process, change management, and governance can contribute positively to regulatory readiness. We can scope this specifically if needed.
