Cashing in on Continuous Compliance Driven by Automation

CONTEXT​​

Scaling Trust in Fin-Tech

Airpay is an omnichannel financial services platform with operations across India, the Middle East, and Africa. Handling sensitive financial data, Airpay operates under intense regulatory scrutiny. Three years ago, the need for robust security measures came up. This was essential for scaling operations, as partner institutions demanded proof of appropriate information security. The need was for a trusted partner that could not just support compliance but also help move beyond it.

CHALLENGES​​​​

Untangling High-Stakes Compliance

Airpay’s rapid growth in fintech came with the challenge of maintaining a strong security posture across multiple regulatory frameworks.

Complex Compliance Management:
Over 20 audits annually required tracking numerous controls and evidence, a process previously reliant on error-prone spreadsheets.

Limited Risk Visibility:
Without centralized monitoring, addressing risks proactively was difficult, exposing Airpay to compliance lapses and potential disruptions.

Tedious Audit Preparation:
Disorganized evidence-sharing led to delays and miscommunication during audits, impacting timelines and efficiency.

Navigating complex regulations is not just a challenge; with Scrut’s structured approach to compliance management, it has become a manageable part of our daily operations.
