Financial Services
In Financial Services, Exposure Turns Into Fraud.
For banks, payment firms and capital markets firms, the surface is both the infrastructure you run and everything that borrows your name to reach your customers, from lookalike domains and leaked logins to card numbers for sale.
The Deepinfo Platform watches both from one index and scans your vendors as closely as it scans you.
- Asset discovery: beside the vault, a rack nobody listed: old-ebank.bank.example, not in inventory.
- Continuous scanning: under the cornice, a camera, a port open that was shut at the last scan: cctv.bank.example, 8443/tcp newly open, high, caught between two scans.
- Risk detection: in the banking hall, a teller’s PC: teller.bank.example, 3389/tcp · RDP open, critical.
- Risk scoring: on the vault level, a server cabinet serving online banking: ebank.bank.example: CVE-2021-44228, CVSS 10, listed in CISA KEV, critical.
- Cyber Threat Intelligence: next door, a customer’s infected laptop: ebank.bank.example login, in an infostealer log.
- Brand Risk Protection: on the pavement by the steps, an A-board that is not yours: bank-login.example, lookalike · contains.
- Third-Party Risk Management: past the corner, a card processor’s centre and a fintech partner’s office, drawn dashed because they are not yours: card-processor.example, graded A; fintech-partner.example, graded B, each linked to bank.example.
Exposures That Start Outside Your Network.
Each one begins somewhere your logs can’t see, and each ends as a cost on your side.
Impersonation
Lookalike Domains
Phishing aimed at your customers needs a convincing address. Lookalikes with typos, added words or letters from other alphabets get a certificate and a copied login page.
Account takeover
Leaked Customer Logins
Infostealers copy every login saved in a customer’s browser, including the one for your online banking. A takeover with a valid password looks like a normal sign-in.
Card fraud
Cards in Circulation
Cards issued on your BINs turn up on markets and in leaks, some with the CVV attached. Card-not-present fraud follows.
Third parties
Vendors Holding Your Data
Payment processors, core banking providers and fintech partners hold your data and your customers’ trust. Their posture changes between annual reviews.
Catch the Lookalike Before the Campaign.
Brand Risk Protection matches newly seen domains against your brand, down to characters borrowed from other alphabets. Each suspicious domain stays under watch across DNS, mail, certificate and HTTP. Below, one name and what each match type catches.

PCI DSS Is Mapped. SOX Is Context.
The platform classifies issues as they are raised, so a question about a framework becomes a filter on current data.
| PCI DSS 4.0 | Mapped (pci_). Filter open issues on in-scope assets, yours and your processors’. |
|---|---|
| PCI DSS 3.2 | Mapped (pci_). Findings still reported against the earlier version. |
| OWASP Top 10 (2021), CWE | Mapped. Online banking and payment applications, and the weakness behind each finding. |
| SOX, supervisors’ third-party expectations | Context only. Not platform classifications: issue history, states and scheduled reports serve as supporting evidence. |
The mapped frameworks are OWASP Top 10 2021, PCI DSS 4.0, PCI DSS 3.2, HIPAA, CWE, CAPEC and WASC.
From the Fraud Queue to Vendor Review.
Fraud Prevention
Lookalike domains, leaked customer logins and leaked cards, worked as one fraud queue.
Phishing Detection and Prevention
Lookalikes caught when they first appear and watched until they go live or go away.
Credential Exposure Management
Employee and customer credentials found in leaked data, each worked to a recorded state.
Managed Takedown Services
Removal requests filed with registrars and hosts, followed up until there is an answer.
Third-Party Risk Management
Each processor and partner scanned and scored the way your surface is.
Compliance and Audit Readiness
Findings classified against PCI DSS 4.0 and the other mapped frameworks as they are raised.
Executive Threat Protection
Leadership accounts and leaked credentials followed as their own list.
Security Risk Scoring
One scale for your surface, each subsidiary and each vendor.
The Data Is Yours to Use Too
The index under the platform is also sold as data. Teams that build their own tooling query it through the API or take it as bulk feeds, and Internet Insights shows what it sees each day.
Questions About Deepinfo in Financial Services
Does the platform map findings to PCI DSS?
Yes. PCI DSS 4.0 and PCI DSS 3.2 are among the frameworks every issue is classified against, alongside OWASP Top 10 2021, HIPAA, CWE, CAPEC and WASC. The filter works across your assets and your vendor portfolios.
Where does leaked customer data come from?
Logins come from breach data and infostealer logs, the files malware collects from infected devices. Cards come from the markets and leaks where they are listed. Each record keeps where it was found.
How do leaked card and login records reach our fraud systems?
Through the Cyber Threat Intelligence API. Search returns matching records as JSON, export returns all of them as CSV or JSON without paging, and the filter that selects them also drives bulk state changes.
Can Deepinfo take down a site that imitates our bank?
Confirmed lookalike domains go to Managed Takedown. Deepinfo’s team files the removal request with the registrar or hosting provider, attaches the evidence and follows it up. The registrar or host makes the final decision, and monitoring shows whether the domain still answers.
How are payment processors and fintech partners covered?
Each third party becomes a portfolio in Third-Party Risk Management. The platform discovers its internet-facing assets, scans them the way it scans you, and puts them on your scale.
Can we assess a partner before signing?
Yes. Add the prospective partner as a portfolio from its primary domain. It is discovered, scanned and scored before the contract, on the scale your current vendors use.
