The Problem
Your Controls Look Strong on Paper — But Do They Hold?
Most organizations invest heavily in security tools and policies. Fewer know if they'd stop a real attacker. Without adversary simulation, confidence in your defenses may be built on untested assumptions.
The Solution
Realistic Adversary Simulation by Certified Ethical Hackers.
Framework's red team simulates the full attack lifecycle — from reconnaissance through lateral movement to objective completion — against your real environment. CEH and CISSP-certified, AWS Marketplace-listed.
Clarity Before Action
Security decisions made without visibility are just guesses. We build a precise picture of your risk landscape first — so every recommendation we make is grounded in your reality, not a generic playbook.
Confidence Under Pressure
When an incident strikes or an audit looms, preparation is everything. We ensure your team knows exactly what to do, with the tools, plans, and expertise to respond with speed and control.

Your business doesn't stand still — and neither does your threat landscape. Our programs are built to evolve alongside you, delivering lasting protection as your organization scales, pivots, and advances.

Still have a question? Email us at contact@frameworksecurity.com
Who is this checklist for?
It is written for fintech executives, CISOs, CTOs, and risk and compliance leaders who are deploying or evaluating AI tools and need a governance framework that can hold up to regulatory scrutiny.
How long does it take to complete?
Most people work through it in 15 to 20 minutes. You can also complete it in sections if you need to pull in input from your IT team.
What do I do after I complete it?
The checklist is designed to give you a clear picture of where you stand. If you find gaps you want help addressing, Framework Security offers advisory services ranging from a single consultation to ongoing Virtual CISO support. There is no obligation to engage further.
Is this checklist specific to a particular regulation or framework?
It draws on requirements and guidance from the CFPB, SEC, ECOA, Reg B, NYDFS, and MITRE ATLAS. It is designed to be broadly applicable across the fintech regulatory landscape rather than narrowly tied to a single rule.
Do I need a technical background to use this?
No. The checklist is written for executive decision-makers. Some sections reference technical controls, but the focus is on organizational accountability, governance structure, and defensible decision-making.
