The real risks threatening a fintech company’s viability and regulatory compliance
Malware injection and cyberattacks targeting banking APIs
Vulnerabilities in Open Banking integrations or payment gateways can enable session hijacking, transaction manipulation, and the exposure of users’ banking credentials.
Non-compliance with the DORA regulation and regulatory penalties
A lack of digital operational resilience and mandatory penetration testing can expose the organization to financial regulatory penalties, enhanced supervision, and restrictions that could prevent it from operating.
Phishing and platform impersonation fraud
Impersonation attacks targeting users or employees (CEO fraud) aim to intercept fund transfers, take over accounts (account takeover), and steal payment data.
Denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and cloud ransomware
A sudden disruption to cloud infrastructure or microservices can prevent customers from accessing their funds and carrying out transactions, damaging the fintech company’s reputation.

FAQS ABOUT CYBERSECURITY IN THE FINTECH AND FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTORS
How does the DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) Regulation require fintech companies to strengthen cybersecurity?
DORA establishes a strict European regulatory framework for financial entities and their ICT service providers. It requires periodic operational resilience testing (penetration testing), third-party risk management, incident classification and prompt reporting, and strict business continuity protocols.
Why are Open Banking APIs and payment gateways prime targets for cyberattacks?
APIs act as direct connection bridges between fintech companies, central banks, and user accounts. A failure in API authentication or request validation can allow cybercriminals to intercept tokens, manipulate transfers, or exfiltrate large volumes of banking data.
How do we ensure the confidentiality of transactions and user data under GDPR and PSD2?
We implement end-to-end encryption architectures for data in transit and at rest, database environment segmentation, and least-privilege access policies (Zero Trust). This ensures that banking information and payment histories are protected against unauthorized access and technical inspections.
Can penetration testing or ethical hacking cause downtime for our fintech platform in production?
No. At ESED, we conduct vulnerability assessments and penetration tests using controlled, non-intrusive methodologies in staging environments or with prior technical coordination. This helps ensure transaction continuity without disrupting the user experience.
What happens if our fintech company experiences a ransomware attack targeting data in the cloud?
With our proactive MDR monitoring service and real-time immutable backups, we immediately isolate the threat and prevent it from spreading across the cloud infrastructure. We then restore financial records and platform operations seamlessly.
What are the benefits of ESED's flat-fee managed cybersecurity model for a growing fintech company?
It allows you to scale your technology infrastructure and meet audit and investor requirements under a fixed, predictable monthly budget. You get access to specialized technical support without the high costs of maintaining a dedicated in-house cybersecurity team available 24/7.
