AI Pentesting for financial services

Secure apps and data while meeting PCI DSS & DORA standards

Banks, payment providers and fintechs run pentests on a regulator's calendar and ship on an engineering one. Escape closes that gap with continuous AI pentests across your apps and APIs, evidence mapped to PCI DSS and DORA you report against, and reports built for your assessor.

What we hear from regulated teams

The annual pentest is a project, not a test

Aligning teams, scheduling the firm, provisioning credentials, chasing the report. Weeks of coordination for a snapshot that ages out before the next release, while everything shipped since goes untested.
The calendar does not match the code
The explosive growth of web apps, APIs, SPAs, and microservices has created a significant visibility gap for IT and security teams. Pentest stayed annual for certification, quarterly for some controls, with releases of new app versions out every week. The gap between them is untested surface.
Sensitive data exposure is constantly at risk
For financial services, the compromise of customer data is catastrophic. APIs, while critical for seamless communication, expose vulnerabilities like IDORs and access control flaws. Legacy solutions struggle to detect business logic risks, leaving sensitive information exposed for weeks or months, while AI-empowered attackers close gaps in hours.
Growing PCI and DORA compliance requirements
Frameworks like PCI-DSS 4.0 and DORA have raised the bar for compliance, demanding greater visibility and control over data flows. For security teams already stretched thin, the operational burden of meeting these standards is unsustainable.

Gain full visibility and protect customer data in minutes

Escape delivers instant value. Secure, govern, and monitor all your applications, APIs and external networks at scale without intervention from development teams.
Transactional flows leave no loose ends

Business logic testing, across roles and multi-step flows

393%
ROI seen by security teams
Payment paths, ledger integrity, tenant boundaries and privilege escalation between roles. Agents authenticate as several users, hold state across steps, and chain findings into an attack path with the exact request sequence. Engineers get the reproduction, not a severity score.

Compliance coverage mapped per framework, not bolted on after

12+
Frameworks findings are mapped against
Every finding shows which control it affects and how it maps, so PCI DSS, DORA, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 stop being a separate spreadsheet exercise. Export a report per framework, with the executive summary your trust centre needs and the detail your engineers use to fix it.

<1 hour
from AI pentesting result to organization-wide testing
Risk should compound in your favour. Feed in previous pentest and bug bounty findings and Escape converts them into automated regression tests that run on every build . The same vulnerability never ships twice, and your coverage does not reset at the start of each quarter.

The details that separate a real offensive security program in financial services

Automations, workflows, AI-powered setup assistance. Everything is built in for a small team to scale their penetration testing program across the entire org and prove the ROI to leadership.
Built in support for authenticated testing: Natively test applications based on OAuth, SAML, password, TLS, TOTP MFA and much more
Public and private - You stay in control. Cloud and on-prem hybrid deployments mean you can run assessments even on internal applications without giving external consultants or bug hunters access to your infrastructure.

What financial security teams say about Escape
Escape is an innovative tool, and its results and algorithms are truly impressive. It was able to find vulnerabilities that their competitors haven't seen. It also provides me with extensive testing capabilities.

FAQ: What security teams in financial services ask us

Will our auditor accept an AI pentest report?

Increasingly yes, and we do not pretend it is universal. Some assessors are satisfied with the platform report, which is often more detailed than a manual one because every finding carries reproduction steps and evidence. Others want human attestation. For those, our in-house pentesters review the results and sign off, as an add-on. If your assessor has a view already, tell us early and we will scope to it.

Does it satisfy our pentest requirement for PCI DSS or DORA?

It gives you continuous testing and continuous evidence across your estate. Talk to your assessor about your specific scope.

What compliance standards does Escape help with?

Escape maps findings to the OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Top 10, PCI DSS, SOC 2, DORA, CRA, HITRUST CSF, NIS2, HIPAA and GDPR and more, giving you audit-ready evidence of continuous security testing.

Does it cover the network and segmentation testing PCI DSS requires?

AI pentesting is built for the application and external network layers, with findings mapped to the controls they affect. PCI DSS also requires internal network penetration testing and a segmentation test twice a year, which is a different exercise.  Reach out to us about your specific scope and what we cover today.

Where is our data processed, and do you train on it?

Escape is a multi-model system. Escape routes work across its own models, running on Escape-controlled infrastructure, and frontier commercial APIs from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. No single provider powers the product end to end, because crawling, exploit design, validation, and evidence write-ups each reward different model strengths. The routing, prompts, skills, and reporter loop are Escape IP. Customer data isn't used to train any of these models. Private deployment is available, and internal or non-public systems are reached through a private location rather than by opening anything up. We do not train models on customer data. More information on data handling.

Is it safe to run against a production payment flow?

Testing is non-destructive by default, scoped to an allowlist, rate limited, and restricted to the window and source IPs you set. There is a global kill switch. Most regulated teams start on staging with production-like data, then extend once they have seen a full assessment.

Will it reduce what we pay out in bug bounty?

That is what customers tell us, for two reasons. The obvious one is finding issues before a researcher submits them. The less obvious one is triage: upload your past bounty and pentest reports, and Escape validates what is still open, what is already fixed, and what was never real, then converts the live ones into regression tests. It is not a replacement for your programme. It reduces the duplicate and low-value end of it.

How do you keep false positives down?

Two layers before anything reaches you. A validator agent replays the finding with no prior context to check that it reproduces, and a false positive detector reads it against how your application normally behaves. Flagged items are not silently deleted, so you can open them and see the reasoning, and anything you mark yourself trains the agent so it does not come back. Results improve as you feed in context: roles, access policies, threat models and documentation. If you need a zero false positive report for a specific engagement, our pentesters can verify findings by hand.
