Banking-grade PKI, without the banking-era latency.

Payment gateways, open banking APIs, POS estates, and mobile channels — all governed by PCI-DSS, PSD2, and SOX. TigerTrust delivers the crypto controls regulators require and the automation fintech velocity demands.

The problem

A single expired cert costs $5,600 a minute in payments.

Payment traffic doesn't pause for renewals. Manual PKI leaks weak ciphers into production, misses expiries on card processors, and turns quarterly PCI audits into month-long fire drills. Regulators fine; customers churn.

Without fintech-grade PKI
  • Expired payment gateway certs take card processing offline mid-transaction
  • Weak crypto slips into scope — PCI QSA writes a finding and blocks certification
  • Open banking API rotations manual — partners drop out of PSD2 trust
  • HSMs siloed per business line — audit takes weeks to reconcile
  • Certificate abuse in the fraud kill chain goes undetected
With TigerTrust fintech PKI
  • Automated renewal with pre-flight validation — zero payment outages from expiries
  • Policy engine blocks non-compliant ciphers before they reach the CDE
  • PSD2 / eIDAS-qualified certificates for open banking, rotated automatically
  • Unified HSM view (Thales, Entrust, AWS CloudHSM) with cryptographic lineage
  • Anomaly detection on issuance patterns feeds the fraud SOC directly
Payment security

Zero-downtime payment certificate rotation

Payment gateways, card processors, and POS terminals all rotate on schedule with health-gated cutover. If validation fails, TigerTrust rolls back before the new cert reaches production.

How it works
  • PCI-DSS 4.0 aligned issuance policies
  • TLS 1.2/1.3 with strong ciphers only
  • Pre-flight validation before deploy
  • Automatic rollback on health-check failure
Payment infrastructure secured with cryptographic controls
Open banking

PSD2 and eIDAS-qualified certificates

Issue QWAC and QSealC certificates for open banking partners. Manage TPP relationships, rotate on schedule, and stay in the Berlin Group / STET trust ecosystem.

How it works
  • QWAC / QSealC certificate lifecycle
  • TPP directory integration
  • mTLS for API-to-API partner traffic
  • PSD2 revocation propagation

Compliance

PCI, SOC 2, and SWIFT audits without the fire drill

Quarterly ASV scans, annual PCI audit, SOC 2 observation windows — evidence packs generated in minutes, signed and mapped to control language.

How it works
  • PCI-DSS 4.0 evidence bundle
  • SOC 2 CC6 crypto controls
  • SWIFT CSP framework mapping
  • Regulator-ready signed reports
Compliance team reviewing an audit evidence report
Fraud & anomaly detection

Certificate issuance feeds the fraud SOC

Unusual issuance patterns, off-hours signing, or unexpected subject names flag directly into your SIEM. Certificate abuse becomes an early signal, not a post-mortem finding.

How it works
  • Behavioural baselining per issuer
  • Splunk / QRadar / ArcSight streaming
  • Real-time revocation on suspicious signing
  • Alignment with MITRE ATT&CK T1553

Frequently asked questions

TigerTrust ships pre-mapped for PCI-DSS 4.0 Requirements 3.5 (cryptographic key management), 3.6 (key custody), 4.1/4.2 (transmission), and 6 (secure systems). Continuous inventory feeds the CDE scope; the policy engine blocks weak ciphers before they land in production. Evidence packs export in the format your QSA expects, and quarterly ASV scan support is built in. Level 1 tested with a Big 4 QSA.
TigerTrust issues QWAC and QSealC certificates under eIDAS trust services and integrates with the OpenBanking UK Directory and Berlin Group NextGenPSD2 TPP directory. Rotation is automated on your policy; misbehaviour flags propagate revocation. mTLS is enforced for API-to-API partner traffic. TPP eligibility checks run at issuance time so an expired TPP registration cannot receive a fresh cert.
Pre-flight validation checks chain, cipher, and health probe on a canary target. If validation fails the cutover aborts and the previous cert stays live. If it passes the cert deploys through the CDN, load balancer, or payment gateway with automatic rollback armed. Payment traffic never sees a broken TLS session. Peak-day change freezes are a first-class feature.
Yes. TigerTrust maintains full lineage from key generation ceremony through every use — sign, wrap, rotate, revoke. Whether the key lives in a Thales Luna, Entrust nShield, or AWS CloudHSM, the lineage record is consistent. Audit reports export the full custody chain for any key. This satisfies SOX, PCI-DSS 3.6, and internal audit requirements without spreadsheet reconciliation.
Every issuance is baselined per issuer, per template, per time-of-day pattern. Deviations — off-hours signing, unexpected subject names, sudden volume spikes — stream into Splunk, QRadar, or ArcSight tagged with MITRE ATT&CK T1553 (Subvert Trust Controls). Suspicious signing can trigger auto-revocation. Certificate abuse becomes an early SOC signal, not a post-mortem finding.
TigerTrust ships CSCF v2024 aligned controls out of the box for the connectivity-relevant sections (mandatory controls on secure environments, restrict privileged access, and detect anomalous activity). Attestation evidence is generated on the CSCF cycle. For SWIFT-connected corporates and correspondents this reduces the annual assessment to a validation exercise.
