BFSI Cybersecurity

The Attacker Already Has the Keys.

46% of BFSI breaches happen through credentials that already existed. Not exploits. Not zero-days. Access that was never governed, never reviewed, never removed. Compunnel builds security programs that close the gaps regulators find, auditors expect, and compliance frameworks routinely miss.

Our Perspective

Financial Security Is a Confidence Problem, Not Just a Threat Problem.

Every customer interaction, every transaction, every regulatory submission rests on the assumption that your systems are sound and your data is protected. When that assumption breaks, the damage is not only operational. It is institutional.

Compunnel works with banks, insurers, asset managers, and fintech firms to design and operate security programs that protect business continuity, satisfy regulatory scrutiny, and preserve the customer confidence that financial institutions are built on.

We work across your existing infrastructure, embedding into your environment as a security services and consulting firm — not a vendor selling licenses, but a team that becomes part of how your institution manages risk.

“Security programs built for institutions where failure is not an option.”

Where Risk Lives in BFSI

The Gaps Auditors Find and Attackers Use Are Often the Same Ones.

These exposure patterns appear consistently across financial services environments. They are not theoretical risks. They are present in your organization right now.

Orphaned Privileged Accounts

Departed employees, former contractors, and inactive vendor integrations retaining standing access to core banking systems. Each one is an open door with no one watching it. Compunnel governs the full identity lifecycle so exits are immediate, complete, and auditable.

Undetected Segregation of Duties Violations

One person initiating and approving the same transaction is not a configuration oversight. It is financial fraud in the making. Compunnel maps SoD conflicts across every role, system, and approval chain in your environment.

Third-Party Access Without Expiry

Payment processors, fintech partners, and data vendors holding permanent access with no session logging and no revocation process. Compunnel governs every third-party connection through time-bound, monitored, risk-tiered identity controls.

Over-Privileged Roles After Promotion

Access granted at hire and never adjusted through subsequent role changes. The analyst who became a manager who became a director, carrying entitlements from every prior position. Compunnel enforces least privilege across every lifecycle transition.

Open Banking API Attack Surface

Every new fintech integration adds an access path that perimeter security cannot see. Open banking APIs create authentication gaps at scale. Compunnel secures API access governance, monitors for abuse patterns, and governs every integration end-to-end.

Cloud Misconfiguration Across Financial Infrastructure

Cloud adoption in financial services consistently outpaces the governance meant to control it. Misconfigured storage, exposed ports, and absent encryption leave customer and transactional data at risk. Compunnel manages cloud security posture continuously, not at audit time.

Our Services

What a Well-Run BFSI Security Program Delivers.

We implement, operate, and mature security capabilities across your existing technology environment. No rip-and-replace. No license fees. We close the gaps that matter.

Govern
Compliance That Holds Up Under Examination

PCI-DSS, DORA, SOX, GLBA, and RBI compliance delivered through standardized controls, continuous access certification, and audit-ready evidence that is always current, not assembled in the week before a review.

Eliminate
Identity Sprawl Removed at the Source

Orphaned accounts, over-privileged roles, and unrevoked third-party access removed through JML lifecycle automation. Systematic elimination, not reactive remediation triggered by an audit finding.

Maintain
Continuous Visibility Across Financial Operations

Real-time access intelligence and monitoring across core banking, trading platforms, and cloud environments. Audit trails that are always current. Incident containment measured in minutes, not business days.

Proof, Not Promises

Financial Institutions That Stopped Reacting and Started Leading.

Compunnel gave us the security program we should have built three years ago. PCI audit is no longer a quarterly fire drill. The evidence is always ready.

Regional Commercial Bank, 15 Branches, Asia-Pacific
We had a regulatory examination with 60 days’ notice. Compunnel mapped every control gap, built the evidence framework, and we came out with zero critical findings. That outcome changed how our board thinks about security investment.

Asset Management Firm, AUM $4.2B, UK and Europe
Our open banking migration created API exposure we had not anticipated. Compunnel identified the gaps in the first week and had controls in place before we went live with our first partner.
