DevOps Consulting for Fintech
When your product moves money, infrastructure mistakes are not bugs — they are incidents with regulators, banking partners and customer funds attached. Fintech teams come to us with the same three problems: audits that eat engineering quarters, deploys they are afraid to run, and payment-provider credentials scattered across env files. All three are platform problems, and all three are fixable as code.
Audit season swallows engineering quarters
Every SOC 2 or PCI DSS cycle turns into weeks of screenshotting consoles and reconstructing who changed what — and the findings list grows anyway.
How we fix it — We turn controls into code: CIS baselines, Kyverno/OPA policies enforced in CI and at admission, access reviews generated from IAM state, and scan reports archived automatically. Evidence becomes a report you run, not a fire drill you survive.
Deploys are scary because downtime moves money
A failed release during business hours means declined payments, breached partner SLAs and support queues full of "where is my money" — so releases get rarer and bigger, which makes them riskier still.
How we fix it — GitOps delivery with progressive rollouts and automatic rollback: every change ships through Git, canaries take real traffic before full cutover, and a bad release reverts itself in seconds. Teams go from monthly release windows to deploying daily.
Payment-provider keys live in too many places
Processor API keys, bank credentials and signing keys in plaintext env files mean one leaked laptop or compromised dependency is a reportable breach — and rotation is so painful it never happens.
How we fix it — Secrets move into a vault with KMS-backed encryption, short-lived credentials and audited access. Rotation becomes a pipeline job, not a war room, and nothing sensitive sits in a repo or an env file again.
Ledger data needs isolation you cannot demonstrate
Auditors and banking partners increasingly ask you to prove cardholder and ledger data is segmented — a flat network with shared databases fails that conversation before it starts.
How we fix it — Default-deny network policies, per-environment isolation and least-privilege IAM scoped to workload identity — segmentation that exists in code you can show an assessor, shrinking your PCI scope instead of expanding it.
PCI DSS scope and SOC 2 evidence, engineered in.
Fintech compliance fails when it is retrofitted. We design the platform so the controls auditors ask about — access control, change management, encryption, logging — are properties of the infrastructure itself, generated as evidence continuously.
- Change management via GitEvery infrastructure and deploy change is a reviewed pull request — the approval trail auditors want, produced as a side effect of working.
- Encryption everywhere, provablyTLS in transit, KMS-backed encryption at rest, and no database port ever exposed on a public IP without an allowlist.
- Audit logs that hold upAPI-server and cloud audit trails shipped to tamper-resistant storage — so "what did they touch?" has an answer.
- Uptime you can put in an SLASLOs with error budgets and multi-burn-rate alerting — the reliability posture banking partners ask about in due diligence.

Frequently asked
Can you help us get ready for PCI DSS or SOC 2?
Yes — that is the most common fintech engagement. We build or harden the platform so controls are enforced by policy engines and evidence is generated continuously, then map the result to your control framework. We work alongside your auditor or compliance platform (Vanta, Drata), not instead of them.
We can only deploy at 2 a.m. on Sundays. Is that fixable?
Almost always. Release windows are usually a symptom of no safe rollback path, not of the product. Progressive delivery with automatic rollback and real health checks lets fintech teams ship during business hours — the change is in the pipeline, not the product.
Do you work with our existing cloud and banking integrations?
Yes. We work in your AWS, Azure or GCP accounts and around your processor and banking-partner integrations. Everything is built in your repositories with full handover — critical for regulated companies where vendor lock-in is itself a risk finding.
