Fintech security
PCI DSS-aligned monitoring, across the whole CDE surface.
Continuous, production-safe monitoring for fintech and financial services teams. Audit-ready evidence mapped to PCI DSS Requirements 4, 6, 8, and 11.
The fintech reality
What PCI DSS expects between annual assessments.
CDE
Cardholder data environment
The CDE includes every web surface that touches, transmits, or stores cardholder data, plus the systems connected to those. Mapping it once isn't enough; it drifts with every deploy.
PCI DSS
Requirement 6 and Requirement 11
Auditors expect ongoing evidence of secure development (Req 6) and regular testing of systems and processes (Req 11). Annual pentests don't produce the continuous record assessors look for.
Velocity
Daily releases meet quarterly audits
Engineering teams ship constantly. The security team needs a record of every regression, fix, and configuration drift between assessments without slowing the release pipeline.
How Barrion fits
Continuous monitoring, assessor-ready by default.
Coverage
PCI DSS-aligned web checks
TLS, headers, cookies, CORS, DNS, email auth, and 30+ additional checks mapped to PCI DSS Requirements 4 (encrypted transmission), 6 (secure systems), 8 (auth), and 11 (regular testing).
Evidence
Assessor-ready PDFs and CSVs
Every scan produces a timestamped report with severity-ranked findings and remediation status. Hand it to your QSA or attach it to a SAQ response without scrambling.
Alerts
Real-time CDE drift detection
Continuous monitoring catches the moment a TLS cert expires, a header is dropped, or a third-party payment widget pushes a regression. Alerts route to Slack, Teams, or email.
Safe
Production-safe by default
Default scans never submit forms, never touch authenticated routes, and never alter data. Safe to run against your live payments surface.
FAQ
Fintech security, answered.
Does Barrion replace our quarterly PCI ASV scan?
No. ASVs are PCI Council-approved providers for the external network scan required under PCI DSS Requirement 11.3.2. Barrion sits alongside as the web-tier monitoring for Requirement 6 (secure systems) and Requirement 11.4 (web-application testing) on the days between ASV scans, so you have continuous evidence rather than a quarterly snapshot.
Which SAQ types does this evidence apply to?
The web-tier evidence Barrion produces is most directly useful for SAQ A-EP, SAQ D-Merchant, and SAQ D-Service Provider, where the web-facing portions of the cardholder data environment are in scope and ongoing testing of the public surface is required.
Can you scan our card-handling APIs without seeing real card data?
Yes. Default scans are read-only and never submit payment payloads, never POST forms, and never touch authenticated state-changing routes. We test the security configuration of the API surface (TLS, headers, CORS, auth surfaces) without exercising the card-data flow itself.
How do you map findings to PCI DSS v4.0 requirements specifically?
Every finding is tagged to the relevant PCI DSS v4.0 requirement, primarily across Req 4 (encrypted transmission of cardholder data), Req 6 (secure systems and software), Req 8 (authentication), and Req 11 (regular testing of security of systems and networks). Exports include the requirement reference next to each finding so they can be dropped directly into the SAQ or QSA evidence package.
