Bank-grade encryption is a floor, not a ceiling
Why we went beyond compliance and built layered defenses most fintech companies skip entirely.
Mateo RossiVP of Security
"Bank-grade encryption" is one of those marketing phrases that sounds reassuring but means almost nothing on its own. Every regulated fintech ticks that box. The question worth asking is: what's the next layer down?
Encryption in transit and at rest
Table stakes. We use TLS 1.3 for all API traffic and AES-256-GCM for all persisted data. Our HSM-backed key rotation runs every 90 days with zero downtime.
Layered defenses
- Per-tenant encryption keys (one customer's compromise doesn't leak another's)
- Audit logs encrypted with separate keys from primary data
- Quarterly third-party penetration testing
- Automated secret rotation across all internal services
