Before you choose architecture or vendors
Evaluate custody, settlement, and wallet options while the architecture can still change.
We review custody, settlement, and wallet infrastructure for banks, asset managers, fintechs, and payment firms.
When this fits
Evaluate custody, settlement, and wallet options while the architecture can still change.
Challenge a new custody provider, fintech partner, or core-system integration before it ships.
Test whether controls, recovery, and evidence hold up to production and outside scrutiny.
Findings, vendors, and open items have accumulated. We tell you what to fix first.
Where it breaks
We review the custody platform alongside signing, identity, integrations, and recovery.
Who can approve what, who owns each control, and what happens when they leave.
Custody architecture, MPC and HSM models, signing policy, key ceremonies, and break-glass access.
Wallet, settlement, API, identity, and core-system boundaries reviewed as one system.
Monitoring, incident response, change control, and remediation ownership before you go live.
