In fintech, security and innovation must move together.
A San Francisco–based personal finance platform needed to scale cybersecurity capabilities while accelerating product delivery, all within a highly regulated financial environment.
Truelogic embedded a multidisciplinary nearshore team to reduce vulnerabilities, strengthen compliance readiness, and modernize legacy systems, without slowing innovation.
Client Overview
Industry: Fintech / Personal Finance Technology
Services Delivered: Nearshore Staff Augmentation, Fintech Cybersecurity, Product Modernization
The client is a leading personal finance platform providing expert financial content, tools, and comparison services across:
- Credit cards
- Banking
- Investing
- Loans & mortgages
- Insurance
Operating in a regulated fintech environment, the organization required scalable cybersecurity infrastructure and modernized systems to support rapid growth while maintaining user trust and compliance integrity.
Scaling Architecture Under Peak Demand
Rapid growth and platform complexity began to strain core systems. Microservices required modernization, API performance lagged under peak demand, and internal bandwidth limited execution speed. The company needed to expand engineering capacity while maintaining platform stability and regulatory-grade reliability.
Strategic Staff Augmentation + Microservices Modernization
Truelogic embedded senior engineers with deep microservices expertise to accelerate modernization without disrupting operations. We optimized backend services, improved API performance, strengthened observability, and enhanced system resilience, all while seamlessly integrating with internal teams.
This approach increased execution capacity while reinforcing architectural foundations.
Operational Efficiency at Scale
By expanding engineering capacity with 54 remote specialists, the client accelerated modernization efforts while improving platform reliability. API response times improved by 40–60%, error rates were reduced by 75%, and delivery velocity increased without compromising system stability.
The result: a more resilient, scalable healthcare SaaS platform ready to support sustained growth.
The Challenge:
Scaling Security
Without Slowing Innovation
As the company expanded, traditional staffing vendors could not supply specialized cybersecurity talent fast enough. This created:
- Hiring bottlenecks
- Security vulnerabilities
- Compliance exposure

At the same time, multiple legacy systems limited product agility and delayed release cycles.
Key Challenges:
- Prolonged hiring cycles for cybersecurity specialists
- Infrastructure gaps increasing security risk
