Frequently Asked Questions

At minimum: SOC 2 Type II, PCI-DSS (if handling payment data). Bonus: ISO 27001, state-specific requirements. Always have documentation ready before outreach.

Expect 6-18 months for large institutions, 3-6 months for smaller FinTechs. Budget cycles typically align with fiscal year (calendar year for most).

Reference existing customers in similar settings. Mention security credentials upfront. Offer valuable content (benchmarks, compliance guides) rather than just asking for meetings.

Focus on: cost reduction (operational efficiency), risk reduction (compliance, security), revenue impact (faster processing, better customer experience), and time savings.
