Cybersecurity, AML/KYC & Compliance Engineering in Manila

Regulated industries can't treat security as an afterthought. Hurain Technologies provides secure architecture review, API and application security engineering, and AML/KYC compliance software development for fintech, payments, and blockchain platforms handling sensitive transaction data. In Manila, that means building to the technical expectations of the local market.

Manila Market Landscape

Why cybersecurity & compliance is critical in Manila

  • Manila hosts the BSP headquarters, making it the natural base for payment service providers and e-money issuers navigating Philippine fintech regulation.
  • The city's large BPO industry has produced a deep pool of technically skilled talent that many Manila-based fintechs draw on for operations and support.
  • Manila-based fintechs frequently need robust remittance rail integration given the Philippines' large overseas worker remittance economy.

The Challenge

Problems we see teams struggling with

Unreviewed architecture before scale-up

Security debt compounds quickly once a platform is handling real transaction volume and regulator scrutiny.

API and application vulnerabilities

Unsecured APIs are one of the most common entry points for breaches in fintech and payments platforms.

Manual AML/KYC processes

Manual identity verification and sanctions screening slow onboarding and create compliance gaps.

Audit and licensing readiness gaps

Missing logging, access controls, or reporting capability can block a licensing application or banking partnership.

No incident response plan tested before it's needed

The first real test of an incident response plan shouldn't be an actual breach — untested plans routinely fail at the exact moment they matter most.

Sanctions screening gaps at onboarding

Screening that runs once at account opening but never again misses risk that emerges after a customer relationship is already established.

Our Approach

How we deliver cybersecurity & compliance in Manila

Secure architecture review

Threat modeling and architecture review across infrastructure, application, and data layers before you scale.

API security engineering

OAuth2/OIDC hardening, rate limiting, input validation, and abuse protection for public and partner APIs.

AML/KYC compliance software

Identity verification, sanctions/PEP screening, and transaction monitoring workflows built into your platform.

Penetration testing & remediation

Independent penetration testing coordination with hands-on remediation of findings.

Smart contract & blockchain security

Security review for on-chain systems, custody flows, and wallet infrastructure.

Audit-ready logging & reporting

Immutable audit trails and regulator-ready reporting exports built into the platform, not bolted on.

Ongoing sanctions and PEP re-screening

Continuous re-screening against updated sanctions and politically-exposed-person lists, not just a one-time check at onboarding.

Incident response planning and testing

A documented, rehearsed incident response plan so the first time your team executes it isn't during an actual breach.
