The Transformation
What Stonetusker Delivers
Security-first DevOps for fintech and banking organisations worldwide. Compliance is not optional and breaches are not survivable. We build infrastructure that passes every audit, blocks every fraud pattern, and deploys without downtime. Every engagement starts with a genuine compliance gap analysis of where you stand today.

Compliance Automation
PCI-DSS and SOC 2 compliance controls embedded in CI/CD, automated audit evidence collection, policy-as-code with OPA, and continuous compliance monitoring for every regulatory requirement.
02
Zero-Trust CI/CD Pipelines
SAST, DAST, and SCA security scanning at every commit, secrets management with HashiCorp Vault, immutable infrastructure with container security, and automated security testing integrated from day one.
03
Payment Infrastructure
Zero-downtime deployment strategies for payment processing, blue-green and canary releases, API gateway with rate limiting and DDoS protection, and multi-region active-active for 99.99% uptime.
04
Fraud Detection MLOps
Real-time fraud detection pipeline integration, ML model deployment automation with A/B testing, feature flags for risk-controlled rollouts, and anomaly detection with automated pattern flagging.
05
Observability and Incident Response
Financial transaction tracing end to end with OpenTelemetry, automated incident response playbooks, chaos engineering for payment resilience, and AI-powered SIEM with behavioural threat analysis.
06
Team Security Enablement
Secure coding workshops, compliance certification preparation, threat modelling training, and complete handover with security runbooks, compliance playbooks, and a 12-month audit-ready roadmap.
