Project Meridian: a fictional Fintech AG exercise covering three critical functions, three scenarios and twelve findings. All systems, participants and results are invented.

The team obtains non-root command execution on an internet-facing diagnostics host, reaches CI and uses a service token to change a canary payment. The summary separates that unaided chain from assisted CRM and recovery results, and identifies the signing, core-data and immutable-copy controls that held.

The architecture connects customer channels, identity and suppliers to perimeter, operations and support zones. Payments, digital accounts and treasury depend on core data, detection and recovery. Arrows represent logical dependencies, not unrestricted network access.

The team submits a literal command-injection probe and receives a WAF 403. A Unicode-escaped equivalent receives 200 and returns id, hostname and pwd output as svc_diag on mb-diag-01. Both HTTP exchanges, request IDs and UTC times are shown as synthetic evidence.

F-03 shows a PATCH request using the acquired svc_pay_orch identity, the accepted beneficiary change on MER-PAY-0042 and an independent read-back. The service changes the canary draft, while separate signing authority prevents settlement.

F-06 specifies a replay from the accepted WAF request through CI and the payment API. A case must join the host, request, artefact, principal and payment, with a 15-minute triage target. The procedure is explicitly marked not yet executed; future validation is not presented as a passed retest.

Three findings have recorded closure checks: command injection, session revocation and cleanup. Nine remain open, with dates for credential, payment and recovery authority, approval binding, segmentation, detection and supporting controls. These are fictional platform targets, not statutory repair deadlines.

The mapping connects tested outcomes to control objectives, accountable owners, verification evidence and the limits of the assessment. It does not claim regulatory certification.

No. Fintech AG and every system, participant, event and result are fictional. The case is designed to demonstrate a realistic reporting approach without exposing any client information.
“Fintech” is a business description, not one regulatory category. DORA applicability depends on the legal entity and regulated activity; TLPT designation is a separate question. PCI DSS scope depends on payment-card data and systems. Product security testing should be planned alongside these obligations, GDPR and customer requirements. The fictional sample is not a compliance certificate.
One searchable 68-page PDF with bookmarks, vector architecture diagrams, HTTP and shell evidence, three execution records, twelve findings and treatment plans, a remediation roadmap and control mapping. The preview above shows eight selected pages from that same report.
