Financial Services & Fintech
Satisfy regulators. Stop attackers. Protect your clients.
Financial organisations in the UAE and GCC operate at the intersection of some of the world's most demanding regulators and most sophisticated threat actors. From CBUAE and SAMA mandates to open banking API risk, we help banks, fintechs, insurance firms, and wealth managers build security postures that are both regulator-ready and operationally resilient.
Key regulatory & security challenges
The financial sector faces a threat environment unlike any other — ransomware operators, state-sponsored adversaries, and opportunistic fraud actors all target institutions where the reward is highest. At the same time, the CBUAE, SAMA, DFSA, and international frameworks like PCI DSS demand documented, auditable, and continuously maintained security programmes. CYVOXAI bridges this gap: we understand the regulatory landscape deeply and translate that into practical security controls, governance structures, and testing programmes that satisfy both your board and your regulator. Whether you are a licensed UAE bank navigating CBUAE requirements, a fintech seeking DFSA authorisation, a regional insurer managing legacy infrastructure, or a wealth manager expanding digital channels — our financial services practice brings sector-specific depth to every engagement.
- CBUAE Information Security Regulation and Technology Risk Management requirements
- SAMA Cybersecurity Framework compliance for Saudi-licensed entities and regional operations
- DFSA Technology Risk and Cybersecurity requirements for DIFC-authorised firms
- Open banking and payment API security — securing third-party integrations and OAuth flows
- PCI DSS compliance for card data environments and payment processing infrastructure
- Ransomware resilience and incident response for organisations where downtime carries regulatory and reputational cost
Our Financial Services approach
Every Financial Services engagement is tailored to the specific regulatory environment, threat landscape, and operational context of your organisation. These are the pillars of how we work in your sector.
Regulatory Alignment First
We map your security programme to CBUAE, SAMA, DFSA, and PCI DSS requirements from the outset — so compliance is a by-product of good security, not a separate workstream.
Threat-Led Testing
Financial organisations face targeted adversaries. Our penetration testing and red team exercises reflect the real tactics used against banks, fintechs, and payment processors in the region.
Third-Party Risk Management
Open banking and fintech ecosystems involve dozens of third-party integrations. We assess vendor security posture, API exposure, and contractual security obligations on your behalf.
Board-Ready Governance
Financial regulators expect boards to understand and own cyber risk. We provide vCISO-level support and executive reporting that translates technical risk into business language your board can act on.
Solutions built for your sector
These are the CYVOXAI service areas most relevant to Financial Services organisations — scoped to your sector's specific regulatory and threat context.
