PCI DSS says test annually. Your releases do not.
PCI DSS v4.0.1 Requirement 11.4 mandates for internal and external penetration testing at least once every 12 months and after significant changes for any organization that stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data. Vana runs the full test — payment flows, auth, KYC/AML surfaces included — in about 4 days, at a fraction of what a traditional and manual pentest charges.
- 95%+ accuracy
- ~4-day average turnaround
- OWASP-aligned reporting
- Only fully AI-autonomous pentester
MEET VANA // THE AI PENTESTER
One URL. One click. A full pentest report.
Vana is our proprietary AI — trained entirely in-house — to think and attack like a pentester. Not a scanner. Not ChatGPT. An AI-autonomous penetration-testing platform built and trained in-house.
She validates exploits with a 95%+ accuracy rate, chains them, and writes you a remediation-ready report. While you sleep.
// STEP TWO
Vana goes to work
She runs context-aware adaptive testing, validates every vulnerability, and chains exploits the way a hacker would.

The cost of waiting
Why fintech breaches hurt more
Financial data breaches carry some of the highest price tags of any industry. IBM’s 2026 Cost of a Data Breach Report puts the global average at $4.99 million and the financial-services average at approximately $6.3 million. That figure does not include regulatory fines, customer churn, or the months spent rebuilding trust with banks and enterprise buyers.
If your product touches cardholder data, PCI DSS already requires annual penetration testing. If you handle customer financial information, the FTC’s GLBA Safeguards Rule requires you to protect it. If you’re raising capital or closing enterprise deals, investors and customer security teams will ask for proof before legal signs.
Attack surface
Key pain points fintech teams face
Payment & money-movement APIs
Every checkout, transfer, wallet, or ACH endpoint is a direct path to funds. If an API can move money, attackers will find it before your next audit does.
OAuth, session & account takeover
FinTech logins are high-value targets. Weak token handling, MFA bypasses, or session replay let attackers become your customers.
KYC/AML data exposure
You collect passports, SSNs, tax IDs, and biometric data. One leaky endpoint turns onboarding into a regulatory incident.
Third-party & supply-chain risk
Processors, banking-as-a-service providers, and KYC vendors all touch your data. Their weaknesses become your findings.
Ransomware & system intrusion
Finance is a top target for organized intrusion. Downtime in a money app is measured in lost transactions and customer trust.
Compliance evidence gaps
Auditors want proof of testing, not a screenshot of a scanner. Most teams collect this too late, in a panic, weeks before a deadline.
WHY FINTECH IS DIFFERENT
Sensitive, real-time, and always regulated
Fintech products sit on a rare combination of risk factors: live money movement, dense customer PII, high-frequency API traffic, and a supply chain of banks, processors, and identity vendors. A single flaw can drain accounts, leak KYC documents, or halt transactions in seconds — and the regulator does not grade on intent.
That is why the sector is compliance-driven by design. Security is not a feature ticket; it is a precondition for operating. Frameworks like PCI DSS, GLBA, SOX, and FFIEC all converge on one requirement: independent, evidence-based testing of the live environment, not just a code review or a questionnaire.
Why FinTech teams choose Vana
We don’t scan your code and call it security — Vana attacks your live application the way a real attacker would, testing payment APIs, OAuth flows, and KYC/AML logic directly, not just flagging outdated dependencies. That’s the same OWASP-aligned depth a manual firm delivers, at 95%+ accuracy, without the six-figure engagement or the multi-week wait.
Every finding is yours to validate yourself before you decide it’s worth anything — no vendor’s word required.

Common objections, answered
- “We can’t risk testing production payment flows.”
- Start with the Free Scan to see what’s exposed with zero risk, no card required. When you’re ready for the full pentest, scope and methodology are agreed upfront — nothing runs against your environment without your sign-off.
- “We already have a security review scheduled with a manual firm.”
- Worth comparing timelines: manual engagements typically run 5–10+ weeks at $15K–$50K. Vana delivers the same depth in about 4 days, starting at $750–$3,000 depending on stage.
- “Will this hold up with our auditor or our investors?”
- The report is OWASP-aligned and structured for audit and diligence use; add the Compliance Readiness Pack for PCI DSS- or SOC 2-specific evidence formatting.
