BKN301, a San Marino-based Fintech company, is a payment institution long focused on the quality of its digital services.
As the leading Payment and Fintech Institute in the Republic of San Marino, it manages the majority of payment transactions, operating in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, ensuring maximum security and compliance at an international level.
Client needs
A fintech tested on security
BKN301 must achieve the PCI DSS certification required by international circuits, adapting its systems to the rigorous IT security standards envisaged.
The client was also seeking a company specialised in Security Operations Services to be entrusted with the entire IT security implementation process, an essential factor for a Fintech company so attentive to the quality of its online services
Solution
Technologies and services for 360° protection
The implementation of PCI DSS certification called for an in-depth analysis of the client’s internal infrastructure and servers. The need to comply with the strict security standards imposed was fundamental and more justified than ever, given that the financial sector was the most attacked in 2022 (suffering some 23% of all cyber attacks).

- Managed Detection & Response SOC Service - a Security Operation Centre dedicated to constant monitoring and timely response to threats, ensuring continuous and timely protection
Results obtained
Certification achieved and security enhanced
The integration of the aforementioned services, flexible and adaptable to changing business needs, has produced important results such as:
- Increased Cybersecurity - the protection of workstations, network and IT architecture has been greatly improved, significantly reducing the risk of security breaches
- Continuous and Punctual Monitoring - thanks to the Managed Detection & Response SOC Service, the client benefits from constant monitoring and effective prevention against constantly-evolving cyber threats
In conclusion, the implementation of cybersecurity solutions by Onit Sistemi not only led BKN301 to obtain PCI DSS certification but also allowed the client to reach an additional level of cybersecurity.
