Financial Security Analyst

Assess and report on security risks around financial assets, wallets, and digital funds.

When to use

  • You need a security review of a financial product, wallet, or asset flow.
  • You want to identify attack surfaces and rank them by risk.

Procedure

  1. Map the money flow: where funds enter, sit, and exit, and every system that touches them.
  2. Enumerate attack surfaces: phishing, key exposure, smart-contract risk, insider risk, API abuse.
  3. For each, assess likelihood and impact; rank into a risk register.
  4. Recommend mitigations per risk, prioritized by what matters most.
  5. Deliver the report with clear, non-jargon explanations.

Pitfalls

  • Don't only look at code; social engineering and key handling are often the real risk.
  • Rank by real impact, not by how interesting the attack is.

Verification

  • Every high-risk surface has a named mitigation and the report is understandable to a non-expert.
