Information Security Advisory
Assess maturity, prioritise gaps, and build a roadmap that supports sales, audits, and product decisions.
Best when
customer diligence, audits, or product launches need a clear security and compliance plan quickly.
For fintech
Complex sector-specific compliance
Boxfish Labs helps fintechs handle security leadership, privacy, supplier resilience, and evidence so questionnaires, audits, and partner reviews do not block delivery.
For Fintech
Fintech products sit at the intersection of customer trust, regulatory expectation, and operational continuity. A security questionnaire from a bank, a DORA-related request from a financial entity, a privacy review before launch, or a supplier outage that affects payments can all become growth-critical moments.
Boxfish Labs helps fintech teams build practical security, privacy, and resilience foundations without turning the company into an enterprise bureaucracy. We combine senior advisory and External CISO support with privacy expertise, data-residency strategy, and human-centred awareness so people, products, and partners stay aligned.
Challenges we help solve
Banks and partners ask for security evidence
We help you answer questionnaires accurately, organise evidence, close recurring gaps, and turn diligence into a repeatable programme rather than a scramble before every deal.
DORA and operational resilience expectations are rising
We help ICT and fintech providers understand what regulated customers may expect: ICT risk management, incident handling, testing, and third-party oversight that matches your role in the value chain.
Privacy and data flows must stay credible
We support GDPR-aligned practices for customer, transaction, and employee data, including notices, contracts, DPIAs, retention, and cross-border processing decisions.
Incidents and human risk can halt operations
We help teams recognise fraud and social engineering, escalate early, and practise response so resilience is not only a document set.
How Boxfish Labs can help

External CISO
Ongoing senior security leadership for risk, programme ownership, supplier assurance, and executive-ready reporting.
Best when
security needs sustained ownership and you are not ready for a full-time CISO.
External DPO
Hands-on privacy support and, where needed, an outsourced DPO function for growing fintech teams.
Best when
you process EU or UK personal data, need a DPO, or privacy capacity is blocking growth.
Data Residency and Sovereignty Strategy
Clarity on where critical data and dependencies sit, and what options strengthen resilience and customer confidence.
Best when
banks, partners, or procurement ask where data lives and who can access it.
Human-Centric Cybersecurity Awareness
Awareness and simulations people remember when phishing, fraud, or pressure hits.
Best when
teams handle payments, customer data, or high-pressure support workflows and need stronger everyday habits.
FAQs
It depends on your role, contracts, and the expectations of the financial entities you support. Many fintechs feel DORA pressure through customer diligence even when they are not the regulated entity themselves. A short assessment can clarify what applies and what customers are likely to ask.
Yes. We help you interpret requests, gather evidence, close gaps, and build reusable answers so the next questionnaire is faster and more consistent.
Often yes. Many fintechs need senior ownership for risk and partner trust before a full-time CISO hire is justified.
