Fintech & NBFC

The landscape

Move fast — without outgrowing your controls.

High-growth financial products multiply cloud services, APIs and partners weekly; regulators and sponsor banks expect the controls to keep up.

Regulatory pressure

NBFC and digital-lending norms, sponsor-bank due diligence, PCI-DSS for payments, DPDPA for customer data and SOC 2 for enterprise deals all arrive at once — often before there is a dedicated security team.

Threat landscape

Misconfigured cloud and storage, exposed APIs, secrets in code, and partner/BIN-sponsor compromise are the dominant breach paths — amplified by speed of release and reliance on third-party rails.

Key risks

What scale brings.

Rapid attack-surface growth

New services, regions and integrations ship weekly — faster than manual review can track them.

API & cloud misconfiguration

The most common breach path for fintech: a public bucket, an open API, an over-permissioned role.

Partner & BIN-sponsor risk

Your compliance posture is judged on your partners’ too — and a sponsor can pause you over it.

Data privacy at scale

Customer financial data under DPDPA and GDPR raises the cost of any exposure sharply.

Audit fatigue

SOC 2, ISO and sponsor audits stack up; evidence gathering steals engineering time every quarter.

Security as a deal-blocker

Enterprise and bank customers gate contracts on certifications you must earn and continuously prove.

How Zeron helps

Continuous posture, mapped to your modules.

Zeron replaces point-in-time reviews and spreadsheet audits with live, evidenced control.

InternoCloud & internal posture

Continuous cloud and internal posture (CSPM) catches misconfigurations, exposed APIs and drift the moment they ship — with real-time exposure scoring.

Vendor PulsePartner risk

Continuously scores payment, KYC and infrastructure partners, so sponsor-bank and BIN risk is monitored, not assumed.

ConformityCompliance automation

Automates evidence collection and crosswalks SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS and DPDPA — one mapping, every framework, audits in a fraction of the time.

Cyber NavigatorCRQ

Scores exposure in financial terms so founders and the board can prioritize the fixes that actually move risk — and tell the security story to investors and customers.

◆ ZAK agents

Governed ZAK agents automate the busywork — collecting audit evidence, drafting questionnaires, triaging cloud findings and proposing fixes — so a lean team ships securely without slowing down.

Mandates

Earn — and keep — every certification.

FAQ

Fintech & NBFC, answered.

Can Zeron help a fintech get SOC 2 or ISO 27001 ready?+

Yes. Zeron’s Conformity module maps your controls once, collects evidence automatically and crosswalks SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS and DPDPA — turning audit prep from a quarterly scramble into a continuous, always-ready state.

How does Zeron handle cloud misconfiguration risk?+

The Interno module continuously monitors cloud posture (CSPM), flags misconfigurations, exposed APIs and over-permissioned roles in real time, and scores the exposure so you fix what matters first.

Does Zeron monitor payment and sponsor-bank partners?+

Yes. Vendor Pulse continuously scores third parties — payment rails, KYC vendors, infrastructure providers — and surfaces concentration risk, so partner and BIN-sponsor exposure is monitored rather than assumed.

Is Zeron a fit for a small or fast-growing NBFC?+

Yes. Lean teams use governed ZAK agents to automate evidence collection, questionnaires and triage, so security and compliance scale with the product without a large dedicated team.
