Needs

Fraud prevention. Merchant onboarding fraud and card-not-present abuse are rising faster than our risk analysts can review cases.

Today: a risk and compliance team on-site monitoring transactions and merchant onboarding manually · Urgency: this year

Cloud security posture. Our largely serverless cloud estate keeps growing, and we lack a single view of misconfigurations.

Today: a small security engineering function with junior hires reviewing cloud setup · Urgency: this year

Payouts & disbursements. Same-day settlement to merchant accounts needs better monitoring as volume and markets increase.

Today: a payment operations group in finance and treasury handling settlement flows · Urgency: later
