Attack Patterns
Common Attack Patterns We Help You Prevent
These are the exact scenarios your payment approval process needs to be hardened against.
Urgent Wire via Executive Impersonation
AI-cloned voice or spoofed email from 'the CEO' requests an emergency wire transfer, bypassing normal approval chains.
Vendor 'New Bank Details' Fraud
Fraudster impersonates a trusted vendor, submits new ACH routing information, and intercepts your next payment.
Client Identity Takeover
Spoofed client communications trigger unauthorized transfers—especially common in wealth management and RIA firms.
Fake Compliance Escalation
A fabricated regulatory notice creates false urgency, pressuring staff to bypass normal controls immediately.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from cybersecurity consulting?
We focus specifically on payment workflow vulnerabilities and human-factor controls. We don't install technology or configure systems—we identify where your approval processes can be manipulated and provide written rules to help you prevent it.
Do you need access to our banking systems?
No. We never request credentials, banking access, or system logins of any kind.
What if our workflows change?
Monthly reviews ensure your controls stay current as your business evolves. That's the entire point of an ongoing engagement.
How long does implementation take?
Most teams implement the Payment Instruction SOP within 24–48 hours. It's a written procedure, not a technology deployment.
Can we cancel?
Yes, anytime. No long-term contracts, no cancellation fees.
