Project

Internal Network Penetration Test

The objective

As a rapidly scaling fintech company managing sensitive financial data and transactions across multiple jurisdictions, Payhawk must ensure that its internal infrastructure meets and exceeds strict security and compliance requirements. Operating within the financial services ecosystem demands continuous vigilance against evolving cyber threats, as well as adherence to rigorous data protection regulations. To maintain customer trust and protect its digital assets, Payhawk sought an independent, in-depth assessment of its internal network security posture.

Our approach

Payhawk engaged PriorityZero to conduct comprehensive penetration tests across its critical systems and applications for two times in a row. Through a meticulous and structured testing process, we evaluate the resilience of Payhawk’s digital environment against potential threats each year. Due to the project’s complexity, our team delivers detailed technical narratives for each target, accompanied by a concise, business-focused executive summary.

The Result

The resulting reports provided actionable insights for internal improvement. The reports also served as formal evidence of Payhawk’s adherence to the highest information security standards. This engagement reaffirmed the company’s proactive stance on cybersecurity and its commitment to safeguarding customer data and trust.
