SECURITY AND COMPLIANCE

Security, Compliance and
Regulatory Hardening Built In

Every financial system must start with regulatory architecture. Cypherox builds around FCA Conduct of Business rules, PRA operational resilience, open banking consent flows, SCA requirements and DORA third-party risk frameworks so compliance is engineered, not retrofitted.

Compliance architecture from day one

FCA and PRA Aligned Architecture

Systems designed around Conduct of Business, UCITS, MiFID II and operational resilience obligations so regulatory reporting and audit trails are native to the platform.

Open Banking and Consent Engineering

AISP and PISP workflows built to PSD2 and UK PSRs 2017 standards, including SCA challenge flows, variable recurring payments and consent-withdrawal mechanics that meet FCA supervisory expectations.

Fraud Detection and Financial Crime

Real-time transaction monitoring, ML-driven anomaly detection and AML/KYC automation integrated into payment and onboarding workflows to reduce financial-crime exposure.

Data Security and Encryption

PCI-DSS-compliant payment handling, encrypted data at rest and in transit, API-layer security and secure credential management built into every financial application.

FINANCIAL ENGINEERING REALITY

When Generic Software Fails Financial Workflows

Financial platforms face requirements that off-the-shelf software cannot meet. Legacy core systems cannot expose clean APIs. Payment flows must handle SCA without blocking customers. Fraud signals must trigger immediately. Regulatory reporting must be auditable. Cypherox builds systems that understand these constraints.

Legacy core systems with no API layer, forcing manual data export and compliance risk.

Payment flows blocked by poor SCA consent design, raising abandonment and regulatory friction.

Fragmented fraud signals across channels, missing fast-moving financial crime.

Regulatory reporting backlogs, manual reconciliation and audit-readiness gaps.

API Modernisation

Secure API layers exposing legacy core data without rip-and-replace, enabling open banking workflows and third-party integrations at scale.

Consent and SCA Flows

Purpose-built payment initiation workflows with intelligent SCA challenge logic so customers authorize quickly and compliance is built in.

Real-Time Fraud Detection

Transaction monitoring, behavior scoring and anomaly detection running on every payment so fraud signals trigger immediately.

Regulatory Reporting Automation

Automated data pipelines for FCA reporting, PRA returns and audit logs so compliance burden becomes operationally embedded.

PROVEN DELIVERY

Real-World Engineering.
Proven Outcomes.

Open Banking Integration at Scale

A leading UK fintech platform needed to launch open banking payment initiation but faced uncertainty around SCA consent flows, PSD2 compliance and customer experience during authorization. Cypherox designed and deployed a PISP platform integrating multiple banking networks, implemented intelligent SCA challenge logic that reduced customer friction while satisfying FCA requirements and monitored fraud signals in real time. The platform processed over 2 million transactions in its first year with 99.8% uptime and zero regulatory incidents.

Technical Architecture Implemented

  • Multi-region active-active Kubernetes clusters on AWS with automated failover under 5s.
  • Apache Kafka message backbone processing 14,000+ financial events per second with zero message drop.
  • Optimized ONNX AI model scoring incoming wire transfers in 14ms against fraud behavioral vectors.
  • PCI-DSS Level 1 certified vault with cryptographic tokenization and automated key rotation.
PRODUCTION FINANCIAL SYSTEMS

Built for Production Scale and
Regulatory Change

Financial platforms must handle scale, maintain uptime under market stress and adapt to regulatory changes without downtime. Cypherox builds systems designed for production financial engineering.

Scales to millions of daily transactions across payment, lending and fraud detection without latency degradation.

Maintains 99.9%+ uptime through active-active deployment, automated failover and zero-downtime deployments.

Adapts to regulatory change through versioned APIs, feature flags and deprecation-managed migrations so compliance updates do not disrupt live systems.

Supports audit and forensic analysis through immutable transaction logs, encryption key management and compliance-ready data retention.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Industry Solutions
Questions Answered

These are the questions we hear most often from financial teams evaluating custom software, covering regulatory architecture, integration and operational design.

Open Banking APIs expose legacy core data through secure API layers without rip-and-replace. Cypherox designs these layers to handle PSD2 consent, SCA and regulatory reporting so open banking becomes an integration problem, not a redesign.

DORA requires third-party risk management, incident reporting and resilience testing. Cypherox builds systems with monitoring, automated failover and documented incident response so DORA obligations become operational workflows.

Real-time transaction monitoring and ML-driven scoring catch fraud immediately without blocking legitimate customers. Cypherox implements risk-based SCA challenge logic to reduce fraud and minimize friction.

Yes. Automated data pipelines collect, validate and report transactions at scale. Cypherox builds these pipelines so regulatory reporting becomes an engineering function, not a manual process.

Versioned APIs and feature flags allow you to ship regulatory changes to specific markets without affecting live systems elsewhere. Cypherox builds this flexibility into platform architecture.

Abstraction layers insulate your platform from network changes. Cypherox designs these layers so you can migrate to new networks or update authentication without customer-facing disruption.
