PCI DSS Compliance
Achieving and maintaining PCI DSS compliance for payment processing, including network segmentation, encryption, and access controls across AWS services.
AWS Security Consulting
AWS Cloud Security for Fintech
We help fintech companies build cloud security architectures that meet PCI DSS, SOC 2, and regulatory requirements — protecting customer financial data without slowing down development.
- A signal or assessment finding arrives.
- Detection stays on, not a one-off scan.
- Assess ranks the finding and its blast radius.
- Containment changes IAM, network, or workload scope.
- Production changes wait for a named owner and a change window.
- The posture that remains is the one you can show an auditor.
Key Challenges We Solve
Real-Time Fraud Detection
Detecting fraudulent transactions in milliseconds using ML-powered anomaly detection without adding latency to payment flows.
Multi-Tenant Data Isolation
Ensuring complete data isolation between financial institution tenants with cryptographic separation and IAM-enforced boundaries.
Audit Trail & Compliance Reporting
Maintaining immutable audit trails for every data access and configuration change to satisfy regulatory examinations.
Our Approach
Defense-in-Depth Architecture
Multi-layer security using VPC isolation, WAF, Shield, GuardDuty, and Security Hub — tailored to financial workload threat models.
Encryption Everywhere
KMS-managed encryption for data at rest and in transit, with per-tenant encryption keys for the strongest data isolation.
Continuous Compliance Monitoring
AWS Config rules, Security Hub standards, and automated remediation that keep your environment compliant between audits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which AWS services are PCI DSS compliant?
Over 100 AWS services are PCI DSS compliant, including EC2, RDS, Lambda, S3, KMS, and API Gateway. AWS provides a shared responsibility model where AWS secures the infrastructure and you secure your application and data configuration.
How does AWS handle SOC 2 compliance for fintech?
AWS is SOC 2 compliant for its infrastructure. Your application inherits this compliance for the infrastructure layer. You are responsible for SOC 2 controls at the application level — access management, logging, change management, and data protection.
Can we achieve PCI DSS compliance with serverless architecture?
Yes. Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and other serverless services are PCI DSS compliant. Serverless can actually reduce your PCI scope because AWS manages the operating system and network layers.
