DORA requires designated EU financial entities to conduct Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) at least every three years, a fundamentally different exercise from standard penetration testing with its own governance structure, accredited providers, and regulatory reporting obligations. This post explains which organisations fall within scope, how a compliant engagement is structured, and what TLPT consistently reveals that conventional testing cannot.
Fintech and payment platforms are among the most targeted systems in the world, combining high-value financial data with rapidly evolving API ecosystems and cloud-native infrastructure. This guide covers everything you need to know about penetration testing — from PCI DSS and DORA compliance requirements to API security methodology, tooling, and cost benchmarks. Developed by Kyte Global, Europe's specialist fintech security advisory firm headquartered in Malta, it is the definitive practitioner resource for CISOs, compliance officers, and fintech founders.
Achieving PCI DSS certification is a structured journey that spans seven distinct phases—from initial scoping and gap analysis through to your signed Attestation of Compliance. This guide maps out a realistic 20–24 week timeline for Level 1 merchants and service providers, highlighting the technical controls, policy requirements, and assessment milestones that matter most. Whether you are starting from scratch or transitioning to PCI DSS v4.0, Kyte Global's compliance advisors walk you through every step.
