Regulatory Compliance as Operations
PCI DSS quarterly vulnerability scans, SOC 2 evidence collection, and compliance reporting are ongoing operational requirements — not one-time projects. Managed services must include these as deliverables.
AWS Managed Services Provider
AWS Managed Services for Fintech Companies
We manage AWS infrastructure for fintech companies with financial regulation embedded in our operations — quarterly PCI vulnerability scans as a managed deliverable, SOC 2 evidence collection, and sub-5-minute incident response during market hours.
- An alert or agreed check arrives.
- The same roster that built the environment operates it.
- Patching covers OS and runtime on the agreed cadence.
- Capacity and backup stay inside the contracted envelope.
- Production changes wait for the agreed change window.
- The workload stays up, with a named path when it does not.
Key Challenges We Solve
Market-Hours SLA
Financial systems have asymmetric criticality — a P1 incident during market hours (9:30am-4:00pm ET) has far higher business impact than the same incident at midnight. SLAs must reflect this.
Change Advisory Board Process
Regulated financial environments often require change advisory board approval for infrastructure changes. Managed service operations must integrate with your change management process.
Financial Data Access Controls
Managed service providers accessing financial systems must operate under the same access controls and audit requirements as internal employees — no broad production access.
Our Approach
PCI Compliance Managed Deliverables
Quarterly internal vulnerability scans, AWS Inspector-based assessment reports formatted for QSA review, and monthly Security Hub PCI DSS standard compliance reports — delivered as managed service outputs.
Market-Hours Priority SLA
Automated detection of market-hours P1 incidents with sub-5-minute response, dedicated on-call coverage during NYSE/NASDAQ trading hours, and escalation paths calibrated to financial system criticality.
Just-in-Time Access Architecture
No standing production access for managed service engineers — all production access granted via IAM just-in-time access with session recording, time-bounded permissions, and CloudTrail logging of every action.
Frequently Asked Questions
What PCI DSS deliverables does managed services include?
Our fintech managed services include: quarterly internal vulnerability assessments (PCI Req 11.3), monthly Security Hub PCI DSS standard compliance reports, annual AWS Config rule review, and on-demand evidence packages for QSA audits. We do not replace your QSA — we provide the operational data your QSA needs.
How does managed services support SOC 2 audits?
We maintain an evidence library of operational controls — CloudTrail exports, security alert logs, change management records, and access review reports — organized by SOC 2 criteria. During your annual SOC 2 audit, we provide formatted evidence packages to your auditor and respond to technical inquiries within 24 hours.
How do we integrate managed services with our change advisory board?
We adapt to your CAB process — submitting change requests before planned maintenance, attending weekly CAB meetings to present upcoming changes, and providing post-implementation reports. For emergency changes, we follow your emergency change procedure and document the rationale for retrospective review.
