Financial Services Identity & Security

Financial institutions operate under relentless regulatory scrutiny from SOX, PCI-DSS, FFIEC, and GLBA — while simultaneously delivering frictionless digital experiences to millions of customers. We architect dual-plane identity systems that separate workforce governance from customer identity, automate audit evidence generation, and deploy passwordless authentication for branch and trading floor environments.

Industry Challenges

Key Challenges in Financial Services

The identity and security challenges that define this industry — and the problems we solve for our clients.

01

Customer Identity at Scale

Millions of banking customers expect seamless, secure authentication across web, mobile, and branch channels. Legacy customer identity systems create friction, drive abandonment, and fail to meet modern MFA requirements.

02

Dual Workforce & Customer Identity Planes

Banks require fundamentally different identity architectures for employees versus customers. Conflating the two creates security gaps, compliance violations, and engineering complexity that compounds over time.

03

Regulatory Audit Evidence Automation

SOX Section 404, PCI-DSS Requirement 8, and FFIEC guidelines demand granular access evidence. Manual evidence collection is error-prone, expensive, and cannot keep pace with continuous audit expectations.

04

Passwordless for Secure Environments

Trading floors, branch offices, and call centers need fast, phishing-resistant authentication. Deploying FIDO2/WebAuthn and Okta FastPass across these environments eliminates credential theft while reducing login friction.
