ISO 27001 for fintech
Bank partners, regulators, and payment schemes all want assurance — ISO 27001 is the one that travels internationally.
Why fintech certifies
Bank and enterprise partners routinely require ISO 27001 as a vendor condition, and regulators in many jurisdictions treat it as evidence of a sound ISMS. If you touch payment data, PCI DSS sits alongside it — and the two share substantial control overlap.
Scoping for fintech
- Include the money-moving systems — and be honest about what's excluded. Auditors and bank partners both probe scope boundaries.
- Plan for ISO 27701 if you process personal data at scale; privacy controls ride naturally on the ISMS.
- Coordinate with PCI DSS. Shared evidence (access control, logging, network security) cuts the combined effort — several CBs in our directory (Schellman, A-LIGN, BARR Advisory) cover both.
CB selection for fintech
Fintech buyers typically want a CB their bank partners recognize: accredited, with financial-services audit experience. Ask shortlisted CBs for reference clients in payments or banking — not logos, conversations.
