Something I’ve been noticing in fintech apps:
Teams treat KYC, compliance, and app security as separate layers.
But in reality, they’re deeply connected.
The moment you scale:
More APIs
More data touchpoints
More third-party integrations
And suddenly, KYC flows become one of the biggest security risks.
Feels like the real problem isn’t lack of tools,
it’s how we structure these systems.
Is anyone here approaching KYC and security as a single system instead of separate pieces?
I broke this down in more detail here, especially around where KYC workflows fail in real products: medium.com/@varsha17ojha/fintech-kyc-data-securit…

The risk you so clearly point out are valid and concerning. I suspect the real reason KYC was initially setup this was because of a practical one. They didn't have teams internally who either had already created that product (KYC/AML onboarding) or didn't have people that new how to do it. So, they sourced it out to someone else that specializes in it. Problem solved eh? In the moment sure, but now there is much more architectural surface area risk. Great perspective Varsha Ojha
