Fincole Appointed to Provide CISO Services to Blockchain-Based Fintech Bank

Fincole, the specialist technology and risk advisory firm, today announced that it has been appointed to serve as the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) function for a blockchain-based fintech bank focused on digital assets, regulated payments, and next-generation financial infrastructure.

The engagement provides the bank with institutional-grade security leadership and governance as it expands its regulated digital asset and payments operations. Fincole’s remit includes defining the bank’s security strategy, enhancing enterprise controls, reinforcing secure engineering practices, and ensuring alignment with banking-sector expectations for operational resilience and supervisory trust.

“Digital-first banks operating on blockchain rails must maintain the highest levels of trust and operational discipline,” said a Director at Fincole. “We will help the bank strengthen its security posture, mature its governance, and scale securely as customer and regulatory demands increase.”

As part of the assignment, Fincole will deliver a comprehensive security and risk programme consisting of:

• Establishing an enterprise-wide security and governance strategy suitable for a regulated bank
• Architecture assurance across blockchain, digital asset, and payments infrastructure
• Risk assessments covering cryptographic mechanisms, custody models, and transaction integrity
• Strengthened data protection, access governance, and secure development capabilities
• Incident readiness, response playbooks, and continuous monitoring operations

This appointment highlights Fincole’s expanding role in supporting regulated and high-growth institutions across fintech, digital assets, and banking—areas where robust security and engineering assurance are foundational to trust and scalability.

“Our priority is to enable the bank to innovate confidently while meeting the expectations of customers, partners, and regulators,” added a Director at Fincole.
