Continuous penetration testing for banks, fintechs and payment platforms

Offensive security for the financial sector

Banks, fintechs and payment platforms run high-value transactions on API-first, cloud-native stacks that change constantly. Strike delivers continuous, expert-validated penetration testing across web, mobile, APIs and cloud, with the validated evidence your auditors and regulators expect, so security keeps pace with every release.

APIs are your business and your biggest attack surface. Strike focuses on the API, authentication and authorization flaws, like broken object-level authorization, that hit payment and banking platforms hardest.

Compliance is continuous, not annual. Strike's testing and reporting support the pentesting requirements behind PCI DSS, SOC 2 and ISO 27001, plus the cybersecurity expectations of financial regulators across Latin America.

Strike already works with banks, fintechs and payment providers across the region, with published customer stories on our success cases.

1 — Discovery: map your web, mobile, API and cloud surface, including the payment and integration endpoints attackers target.

2 — Continuous AI-led testing: test continuously as you ship new features and integrations.

3 — Expert validation: Strikers exploit and confirm real findings such as API abuse, auth flaws and business-logic issues, at 97% accuracy.

4 — Evidence and retest: compliance-ready reports plus on-demand retesting for audits and releases.

Pentesting for banks and fintechs, answered

Why do banks and fintechs need continuous penetration testing?

Financial platforms release constantly and are prime targets for attackers. An annual pentest leaves months of new code and new exposure untested. Continuous testing validates security as you ship, keeping your exposure window in days and giving regulators evidence that controls actually work.

Do you test core banking and payment APIs?

Yes. APIs are the core of modern financial platforms and their largest attack surface. Strike tests API, authentication, authorization and business-logic flaws — including broken object-level authorization and abuse of payment and integration endpoints — and validates each finding with expert hackers.

How do you handle confidentiality and data access?

Scope, access and rules of engagement are agreed with your team before testing, and engagements run under strict confidentiality. Strike coordinates communication throughout and can work against production or staging safely, without disrupting operations.

Does this support PCI DSS and regulator audits?

Strike provides continuous testing and compliance-ready reporting that support the penetration-testing requirements behind PCI DSS, SOC 2 and ISO 27001, and the cybersecurity expectations of financial regulators. Strike does not issue certifications; we give your auditors the validated evidence they request.

How is it different from a bug bounty?

A bug bounty is opportunistic and open-ended; coverage and confidentiality depend on who shows up. Strike is programmatic: scoped, continuous testing by vetted experts, with validated severity, controlled disclosure and predictable cost — plus audit-ready evidence a bounty rarely produces.

How much does it cost, and how is it contracted?

Strike works as a continuous subscription scoped to your attack surface rather than a one-off engagement, so pricing follows scope and is predictable. Onboarding is quick — connect your scope and testing begins in days — with a continuous flow of validated findings, on-demand retesting and audit-ready reports.
