Payment gateway risk audits for fintech
A focused look at how we teach teams to examine gateway behavior — before a partner review writes the agenda for you.
What an audit actually inspects
Healthy uptime is not an audit. We train teams to inspect authorization-to-settlement paths, exception queues, fee integrity, webhook authenticity, and the human workflows that respond when monitors fire.
For fintechs in Korea, that often includes domestic rail quirks, multi-PSP routing, and documentation habits that satisfy both local partners and cross-border sponsors.
Our method in three movements
-
Discover
Diagram trust boundaries and inventory logs you can actually query. Discard vanity metrics that never reach an owner.
-
Test
Sample settlements, replay webhook edge cases, and challenge risk-score assumptions with counterexamples.
-
Narrate
Produce findings with severity, evidence pointers, and remediation owners — short enough that executives read them.
When to bring a cohort in
Teams usually arrive 60–90 days before a PSP renewal, after a chargeback spike, or when merging stacks post-acquisition. If you only need templates, start with Signal Desk. If you need shared language across product and risk, choose Ledger Room.
