Flipzen is an AI platform that automates compliance processes, KYC/KYB verification, document validation, and fraud detection for companies operating under strict regulatory requirements, including fintechs and banks.
- Industry: RegTech / Compliance for fintechs and banks.
- Product: AI Operating System for Compliance Teams: KYC/KYB, document validation, fraud detection.
Context and challenges
Flipzen already had compliance and security tools in place to cover general requirements. However, as it began working with fintech and banking clients, it ran into scenarios where those controls weren't enough. Some prospects needed a higher level of technical validation, visibility into vulnerabilities, and documentation for their internal security processes.
For Flipzen, the challenge was meeting these demands without slowing down its commercial processes. It needed to complement its existing solutions with a deeper assessment of its platform's exposed attack surface, along with prioritized, actionable findings it could resolve quickly.
The need was clear: security that keeps pace with commercial growth, not security that holds it back.
Working with Strike
[01] A platform that asks for nothing in return
No custom development, no long learning curve. Flipzen highlighted how simple the implementation was, with fast onboarding and minimal initial setup.
"It's plug and play, easy to integrate with your system. You don't need anything specific. I just added the asset and it detected the API behind it and other domains for me. So we were able to move much further ahead because they detected the backend."
Diego Pacheco, Head of Engineering at Flipzen
Starting from a single public asset, Strike not only made it possible to get started quickly, it also detected APIs, associated domains, and backend components, expanding the scope of the assessment and enabling them to deliver a more complete result than expected.
This corresponds to Strike's Live Asset Radar module, which continuously maps the attack surface by combining two engines:
- External Radar — Takes the assets the client uploads as "seeds" and automatically discovers subdomains, APIs, and additional services that weren't previously mapped.
- Cloud Radar — Integrates directly with AWS to detect exposed resources and configurations in the cloud.
Mapping isn't a one-time event: it updates automatically every time a change appears on the surface, without the client having to maintain a manual inventory.
[02] A team that didn't leave them on their own
Flipzen valued the support of the Customer Success team throughout the entire process: from onboarding to coordinating manual checks and resolving questions. That closeness helped keep the process moving and reinforced the experience beyond the platform itself.
"If we sent them a message, they'd respond, and get in touch with the team right away. With the full service, not just the platform, we're happy."

- Support throughout the entire process.
- Support during onboarding, retests, and manual checks.
- Fast response in moments of operational blockage.
Flipzen valued not only gaining visibility into the findings detected, but also the context needed to understand what to fix and how to approach it. Beyond the executive report, that information let them prioritize the most relevant issues and accelerate remediation, rolling out fixes within days even in a high-pressure commercial context.
This is because every finding is validated by our AI Triager and Strike's Hacking Team, to avoid false positives, organize the technical evidence, and confirm real exploitability. Each finding is then reported with specific remediation suggestions, which makes it possible to retest a single vulnerability in minutes, without waiting for a whole new run.
This combination of AI + expert validation is, in Strike's model, what sustains a 44% reduction in mean time to remediation (MTTR).
[03] Results ahead of schedule
Speed, for Flipzen, was one of Strike's strongest differentiators. In a context where they needed to move fast to avoid delaying a business opportunity, meeting deadlines was key.
"They told us 24 hours; I think by hour 6 or 7 we already had all the testing done." "It wasn't a bottleneck… once they started showing us the issues, we started working on them, and within two or three days we had them more or less complete."
Diego Pacheco, Head of Engineering at Flipzen
The value wasn't just in meeting the deadline: it was in exceeding expectations. Although the committed timeframe was 24 hours, the team saw results in 6 to 7 hours, which let them move earlier than planned, prepare documentation faster, and respond to their clients' demands. In a category where time can easily become friction, Strike positioned itself as a tool that speeds up the response exactly when it matters most.
The speed that Flipzen highlighted isn't an isolated case: it's the result of how Strike's Threat Emulation engine is designed, prioritizing and running tests continuously instead of scheduling one-off runs. Before every emulation, it automatically validates that the asset is reachable and the credentials are valid, avoiding wasted time on runs that fail because of an access issue.
For Flipzen, Strike turned an urgent security need into a concrete commercial advantage: it enabled them to get a fast, broad, and actionable assessment, speed up remediation, and move forward with more confidence in front of demanding clients. The combination of speed, coverage, and support made the experience feel simple, reliable, and ready to unlock the business.
