Enterprise Security & Risk Intelligence
Trust Comes First.
AverFirst is building one platform where banks, payment service providers and acquirers can establish what is true about their payments, their merchants and their infrastructure — and know it first.

What AverFirst is
One platform for the risks that move money
Payment testing, merchant risk, security scanning, monitoring and compliance usually live in separate tools, run by separate teams, each with its own data and its own version of events. When something goes wrong, the hardest question — what did we know, and when? — has no single answer.
AverFirst brings them onto one platform: one identity, one audit trail, one picture of risk. The answer to “can we trust this?” should arrive once, with its evidence, and first.
Solutions
Five solution areas, one platform underneath
The solution areas are being built in stages on the platform that is live today. A briefing is the place to hear where each one stands.
Payment Assurance
Synthetic Visa and Mastercard transactions that test, monitor and stress payment flows end to end, so a broken path is found before a cardholder finds it.
Scope and approachMerchant Risk
Transaction-laundering detection and continuous merchant monitoring, so a portfolio is judged by what its merchants do, not by what they declared at boarding.
Scope and approachCybersecurity
Scanning of external infrastructure, APIs and cloud configuration, with findings ranked by what an attacker could actually reach.
Scope and approachMonitoring & Resilience
Continuous outside-in checks of the services payments depend on, with a timeline that ties every symptom to the change behind it.
Scope and approachCompliance & Intelligence
Know-your-business checks and risk intelligence brought together, with the evidence for every decision kept beside it.
Scope and approachEvery area shares the same sign-in, access model, audit trail and evidence store, so a signal in one informs the others.
All solution areas
How we work
Principles we build by
- Evidence, not assertion
- Every finding should carry what was observed, when and how, so it can be checked rather than simply believed.
- First to know
- The value of intelligence is time. We design for the earliest reliable signal, not the loudest one.
- Secure by construction
- We hold our own platform to the standard we intend to test others against, and we describe it plainly.
- Calm by design
- Fewer, better alerts. A risk tool that cries wolf teaches people to ignore it.
Security
The security we hold ourselves to today
In place now, on the platform that runs AverFirst — stated so it can be checked.
Multi-factor sign-in, always
Every account enrols an authenticator app. No session exists after a password alone.
Encrypted under managed keys
Data, cache and backups are encrypted at rest with keys held in AWS Key Management Service.
Backups nobody can delete early
Copies in a second region under a compliance-mode vault lock, an encrypted copy outside AWS, and a restore drill every week.
An append-only audit trail
Sign-ins and changes to accounts and access are recorded in a trail the application cannot alter.
A strict browser policy
No inline code, no third-party scripts, fonts or images, and HTTPS enforced by a two-year HSTS policy.
Logs without payloads
Logs record facts. Never a password, a code, a token or the content of a request.
