Fintech Compliance Roadmap

Fintechs face a stack of overlapping requirements. Sequencing them well saves enormous duplicated effort.

Plus occasional, practical compliance guidance from our senior auditors. No spam — unsubscribe anytime.

1. Map what applies

  • PCI DSS if you touch card data.
  • RBI PA-PG / PPI / digital-payment rules by licence.
  • DPDP Act for personal data.
  • SOC 2 / ISO 27001 for customers.

2. Build once, satisfy many

Controls overlap heavily. A single security baseline (ISO 27001-style) plus targeted add-ons covers most requirements.

3. Get the audits right

RBI-mandated audits (SAR) need a CERT-In empanelled auditor; card work needs a PCI QSA.

How CyberSigma helps

CERT-In empanelled and PCI QSA authorised, we run your whole fintech compliance stack from one team.

This guide is educational and not legal advice. Requirements evolve — validate specifics against the current standard or regulation for your situation.
