Financial Services
Zero Trust engineering for banks, brokerages, and lenders — where a security gap is also an examination finding, and "compliant" is the starting line, not the goal.
The examiner is already in the room
Every financial institution operates knowing the next FDIC examination is coming. Most security programs are built to pass it — and that is the wrong target.
An examination confirms you met a baseline on a single day. It says little about the other 364. Arduwyn engineers financial-services Zero Trust to a higher standard than the exam — so passing it becomes a by-product, not the project.
Built for the regulatory reality
FDIC examinations, FFIEC expectations, and the obligations underneath them — engineered into the architecture, not bolted on before an audit.
Examination readiness
Architecture, controls, and evidence organized the way an IT examination expects to find them. Examination prep stops being a quarterly scramble and becomes a report you can run on demand.
FFIEC-aligned architecture
Zero Trust controls mapped to the FFIEC IT Handbook and Cybersecurity Assessment Tool, with GLBA Safeguards obligations engineered into the design rather than reverse-fitted to it.
Records that hold up
Continuous audit collection and tamper-evident records — so when an examiner, an auditor, or an incident asks what happened, the answer is already documented and verifiable.
Compliance is the floor, not the ceiling
A passing examination means you cleared the minimum. The institutions that get breached are frequently the ones that were fully "compliant" the week before.
Arduwyn's financial-services work lives in the gap between the regulatory minimum and an architecture that is genuinely hard to breach — identity-centric access in place of network trust, segmentation that contains an intrusion instead of letting it spread, and continuous verification that does not wait for the annual review. The examination is satisfied along the way. The point is everything beyond it.
Core financial platforms we secure
The applications a financial institution actually runs on — protected as first-class systems, not afterthoughts.
Zero Trust access, segmentation, and inspection engineered around the platforms below — with policy that maps to how each one is genuinely used.
