One platform for the audits, the brokering, and the agents.
Payments, lending, trading, and fintech platforms run inside an unforgiving compliance perimeter. Tessarac collapses identity, secrets, privileged access, EDR, and CSPM into one auditable platform — with PCI-DSS v4, SOC 2 Type 2, and NYDFS Part 500 alignment built in.
Regulatory posture
The frameworks the audit team actually has to defend.
A modern fintech maps to PCI-DSS v4 (cardholder data), SOC 2 Type 2 (operational controls), NYDFS Part 500 (NY-regulated entities), and SEC Reg SCI (covered exchanges and clearing agencies). Tessarac's per-tenant compliance preset sets the right baselines automatically and surfaces the evidence in the admin console.
- PCI-DSS v4 reference architecture published — cardholder-data login deployments documented end-to-end
- SOC 2 Type 2 — Tessarac's own control posture is in observation; customers inherit the controls
- NYDFS Part 500 — multi-factor at every privileged access, encryption in transit and at rest, annual penetration testing evidence
- Reg SCI alignment — system audit + change control evidence captured continuously
- GLBA Safeguards Rule + CCPA / CPRA — customer data handling controls + per-tenant audit visibility
The fintech-shaped deployment
Customer identity for the consumer side, workforce identity for the operations side, brokered access for the systems that move money. One platform, one audit log, one cost line.
CIAM at consumer scale
Sign-in flows for the consumer side of your product — passkeys, social federation, magic links. B2B multi-tenant for treasury / corporate-banking customers. Branded hosted UI per customer brand.
Brokered access to settlement systems
SSH, RDP, and database protocol proxy with MFA challenge at every session and full replay. Just-in-time approvals route to Slack or PagerDuty. Standing privilege reduced to zero by default.
Sentinel on every host
Hardware-bound TPM identity defeats credential extraction. eBPF telemetry on every Linux trading server, ETW + WFP on every Windows ops workstation. Out-of-band cordon if anything is compromised.
Customer-visible audit
Every consumer login, every privileged access session, every settlement-system change is captured per tenant. Customers see their own audit log; auditors see the chain. Export to your SIEM or to any object-storage bucket you own.
Migration arc
Most fintechs land on Tessarac in a quarter.
The typical fintech swap is Okta + HashiCorp Vault + a homemade PAM stack. Tessarac runs in shadow mode for 4-6 weeks, parallel to the existing IdP, with assertions that the auth events match. Cutover is one allowed-issuer change in your apps.
- Shadow-mode pilot — Tessarac receives every Okta auth event in parallel; verify before flipping
- Vault import path — KV first, then database roles, then PKI, then SSH
- Reference deployments for fintech on every major cloud (active-active across two regions)
- PCI-DSS v4 evidence packet generated continuously — audit-day fire drills end

Most fintech replacement engagements are sized at 6-10 weeks end-to-end. PCI-DSS evidence ships continuously.
