Security Priorities Across BFSI and FinTech
Cyber Resilience
Critical operations depend on effective detection, response, recovery, exercises and technology resilience.
Regulatory Alignment
Organizations must translate applicable directives, circulars and frameworks into owned controls and demonstrable evidence.
Third-Party and Ecosystem Risk
Cloud, technology, payment, data and outsourced-service providers can create concentration and dependency risk.
Payment and Cardholder Data
Organizations within PCI DSS scope need defined responsibilities, segmentation, control implementation and validation readiness.
Privacy and Customer Trust
Personal and financial information requires accountable collection, use, protection, sharing, retention and incident handling.
