From Compliance to Confidence cover image
Dorian Pacquet shares how FinTechs can move beyond compliance to build true cyber confidence through proactive risk management and resilience.

At Approach Cyber, we believe cyber security is most effective when it’s collaborative—and fintech is no exception. In a recent episode of The Connector podcast, our very own Dorian Pacquet, Security Strategy Consultant and Fintech Portfolio Lead, broke down the key security challenges—and opportunities—facing the fintech world today.

Security by Design: Building It In, Not Bolting It On

The high-speed, high-risk environment in which fintechs operate has rendered traditional, end-of-pipeline security checks obsolete. “Security must be woven into every stage of the development lifecycle,” Dorian stated. This entails protecting everything without sacrificing agility, including CI/CD pipelines and open-source libraries.

With over 100 experts, a 24/7 in-house SOC, and a full-service offering—from advisory and compliance to cloud security and XDR—Approach Cyber supports FinTechs of all sizes with tailored, scalable solutions.

Preparing for What’s Next

In Conclusion, from supply chain risks and regulatory pressure (hello, GDPR, DORA, NIS2) to AI-enhanced attacks, FinTechs need smart, integrated defences. Dorian touches on everything from cloud posture management to AI-powered vulnerability scanning and the need for real-time monitoring via XDR.

The European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) entered into force on December 10, 2024, and will fundamentally reshape how businesses approach cyber security for products with digital elements.
