Overview

As more consumers and businesses embrace digital transformation, more data than ever before becomes available in digital formats, posing new security concerns for the fintech sector.

Compliance

Cyber security compliance in the fintech industry

Many fintech companies are under stress on multiple fronts as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause uncertainty. It required a quick transition to remote working as well as a re-evaluation of the systems and processes that had been in place for many years.

This abrupt transition has exposed the fintech industry, placing large risk on compliance as well as data and intellectual property security.

We can assist you in enhancing your data and information security to the degree required to comply with the ACSC Essential 8, Australian Privacy Principles, ISO 27001 and other security requirements.
