Financial Services

Architecture your examiners and your CISO both trust.

Cardholder data, model risk, and a wall of regulators. IronArchitects generates financial-services designs constrained to PCI-DSS v4, SOC 2, and ISO 27001, with the segmentation and evidence already in place.

The challenge

Regulated money, relentless scrutiny.

Banks, fintechs, and payment teams answer to overlapping regimes and frequent examinations.

Cardholder-data risk

PCI-DSS v4 demands segmentation, key management, and logging the design must enforce from day one.

Overlapping regimes

PCI, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and internal model-risk standards all want evidence for the same system.

Examiner cycles

Each exam re-opens architecture and control questions that were never captured in a durable, queryable form.

The AI engine

AI reviewers fluent in PCI-DSS v4.

Every financial-services design run is critiqued by specialist AI agents that check PCI-DSS v4 segmentation, cardholder-data flow isolation, and key management, before your review board sees it.

  • Layered PCI + SOC 2 + ISO 27001 scoring in one run, so one design answers every regime at once.
  • Live CVE checks on the selected technology versions, not last quarter's vulnerability spreadsheet.
  • Evidence your examiners can replay: every finding, deliberation, and approval is persisted.

Compliant by construction

PCI-DSS v4 & SOC 2, by construction.

Tag cardholder data and IronArchitects constrains the design to the controls that apply, segmenting the CDE and citing the requirement behind every decision.

  • Cardholder-data environment segmentation and key-management recommendations, built in.
  • PCI-DSS v4 requirements and SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria mapped to components.
  • Layer your own model-risk and security standards over any regulatory pack.
  • Immutable, hash-chained approval records: evidence that survives the next exam.
