In GPU-intensive financial service environments, performance is one of the most important factors. Teams supporting real-time trading platforms, machine learning pipelines, and large-scale data analytics must maintain speed, scalability, and operational integrity. While compute infrastructure is often optimized, security and compliance workflows are still manual and inconsistent. This generally creates friction and increases the risk of exposure or downtime.

Security and IT teams handle tasks like managing access permissions, watching out for fraud, and following rules such as PCI DSS, SOC 2, and AML. However, a lot still use outdated methods like reviewing spreadsheets, responding to incidents too slowly, and performing irregular account checks. These outdated processes create risks and slow down fast-paced workflows.

Kindo solves this by automating core security workflows using AI.

It integrates with identity providers, financial systems, and monitoring tools, then applies large language models (LLMs) to analyze and act on real-time data. This enables security operations to scale with your infrastructure without increasing overhead or complexity.

Below are three automation workflows designed to help GPU-intensive financial  teams improve security posture, reduce manual effort, and maintain compliance across high-throughput systems.

1. Access Review for PCI Systems. Identify excessive or outdated user access to cardholder data environments by cross-checking identities and roles, ensuring least-privilege access.

2. Financial Threat Feed Triage. Monitor threat intel feeds in real time and automatically flag only the items that are relevant to your specific infrastructure, applications, and fraud surface.

3. Duplicate Account Detection. Find and flag duplicate customer accounts that could indicate fraud, errors, or compliance issues, so each real person has a single, clean identity in your systems.

1. Automate Access Reviews for PCI Systems

Financial platforms often maintain hundreds or thousands of user accounts across payment processing systems, databases, and internal tools that make up the cardholder data environment (CDE). Keeping track of who has access to what in these systems is important for protecting customer card data and meeting compliance mandates. 

In fact, PCI DSS requires that access to cardholder data be limited to business “need-to-know” and that privileges be regularly reviewed. In practice, however, many organizations perform user access reviews infrequently and manually (e.g. emailing spreadsheets to managers), often lagging behind staff changes or role updates. The result is over-provisioned privileges and orphaned accounts lingering in sensitive systems – ticking time bombs from a security standpoint. A disgruntled ex-employee or cybercriminal who finds an old account with admin rights could wreak havoc. 

Automating access reviews helps enforce the principle of least privilege and ensures that only the right people have access to PCI systems at any given time. It also creates an audit trail to prove that you are continuously compliant with access control policies (important during audits).

Workflow Steps (Access Review)

1. The workflow uses an API step to collect the latest user and access lists from your identity provider (e.g. Okta or Azure AD) and from key systems in the PCI environment (databases, payment gateways, internal admin consoles, etc.). This provides a consolidated view of all active accounts and their permissions across in-scope systems.

2. Next, use an LLM action step analysis step to cross-check each user’s access against their role or job function. The AI can be prompted with your access policy rules – for example, “Should a customer support rep have database admin privileges?” – and flag any deviations or excessive privileges. This intelligent review goes beyond hard-coded rules, catching subtle issues (e.g. a contractor account that still has access long after their contract ended, or a role with a wildcard * permission that grants more than intended).

3. The workflow compiles a report of any out-of-scope or stale access it finds with an LLM step. For each flagged user, it includes a short explanation such as “User X has admin access to the payments database but is in Sales.” The results are exported as a CSV file that can be reviewed manually or imported into other systems for tracking and remediation. The system also logs the completion of the review, including the date, scope, findings, and any remedial actions, in a central audit log. This creates clear evidence that access reviews were completed and helps support audit readiness.

Value of Automation

Performing enterprise-wide access reviews by hand can take weeks of chasing down information and reviewers, and even then it’s prone to misses. By automating it, reviews can be completed in hours with consistency and thoroughness. This minimizes the window during which inappropriate access can exist – for example, a departing employee’s account gets flagged and deactivated promptly instead of lurking for months. It also sharply reduces the risk of orphaned accounts being exploited; failing to review access regularly can leave old accounts active that become easy backdoors for bad actors. Moreover, automation provides continuous compliance: every review cycle is logged with a detailed record of what was checked and flagged. Demonstrating compliance with standards like PCI DSS and SOC 2 becomes much easier, since you can show auditors a systematic, recurring process rather than ad-hoc spreadsheets.

2. Triage Financial Threat Feeds for Relevant Risk

Financial platforms operate in one of the noisiest threat environments in security. New phishing kits, payout fraud methods, and malware targeting banking logins surface almost daily, often buried in threat intel blogs, private feeds, or curated alerts from FS-ISAC, vendors, and researchers. Most teams subscribe to multiple sources, but the real challenge isn’t access. It’s triage. Hundreds of posts flood in every week, and only a few truly matter to your systems, customers, or compliance posture. The rest is noise. 

This workflow turns that noise into signal. It uses Kindo to continuously monitor external threat intel feeds, analyze each new alert with a LLM, and identify only those that are directly relevant to your stack. That might include phishing domains impersonating your login flows, malware campaigns targeting payout APIs, or infrastructure threats that affect tools like Stripe, Auth0, or MongoDB. It tags risk levels, summarizes each post, and outputs a clean CSV your team can use for follow-up or archival. 

No dashboards. No distractions. Just the intel that actually deserves your time.

Workflow Steps (Threat Feed Triage)

1. An API action step pulls new items from one or more curated RSS feeds or JSON-based threat intel sources. These may include security blogs, vendor advisories, FS-ISAC bulletins, or private research aggregators. For each post, the workflow retrieves metadata like the title, summary or excerpt, publication date, and source URL.

2. An LLM action step evaluates each feed item for financial sector relevance. The model is prompted with your operational context, for example: "We use Stripe for payments, Auth0 for identity, MongoDB and GCP for infrastructure, and operate in the UK and EU financial sector." The LLM checks whether the alert involves threats to your login system, payment flows, customer onboarding, or infrastructure stack. If relevant, it assigns a risk level (Low, Medium, or High) and generates a brief explanation. Irrelevant items, like alerts targeting SCADA systems or gaming platforms, are automatically discarded.

3. A final LLM action step compiles a structured CSV report. Each row includes the article’s title, publication date, source link, assigned risk score, and AI-generated summary. This file can be reviewed manually by the security or fraud team, stored for audit purposes, or passed into downstream workflows for further action. Because the data is fully structured, it becomes a reliable and searchable record of financial-specific external threats.

Value of Automation

Reading every threat blog and alert is basically impossible, especially for lean security teams. Some intel platforms do offer filtering, but they are rarely tuned to your exact infrastructure or business model. They might flag anything that mentions phishing, but they won’t distinguish between a kit spoofing your login page and one that targets unrelated systems. This workflow provides focused threat awareness that reflects your real environment. By embedding your stack into the LLM prompt, it ensures your team sees only the risks that matter. Phishing kits, payout abuse, onboarding bypasses, brand impersonation, and more are surfaced automatically with rich, contextual explanations. Instead of wiring this into a SIEM or hiring a full-time threat analyst, you get a daily digest of financial-relevant risks. Each entry is scored, summarized, and ready for action. It’s a simpler, smarter way to stay ahead of external threats without drowning in alerts.

3. Automate Duplicate Account Detection

As a financial services user base grows, it’s not uncommon to discover that the same person might end up with multiple accounts in your systems – whether due to accidental duplicate creation, technical glitches, or even malicious intent. Duplicate customer accounts can lead to a host of problems. Operationally, they distort data and lead to inaccurate reporting (e.g. a single customer’s activities split across two profiles). They can also create security and compliance issues: for instance, if one person has multiple accounts, it may defeat controls like per-account transaction limits or confound audit trails. 

In more serious cases, fraudsters or money launderers might intentionally create duplicate accounts (or use slight variations of their identity) to bypass monitoring. By dispersing their activities across multiple accounts, they make suspicious patterns harder to detect. For example, someone could break a large transfer into two separate accounts to stay under reporting thresholds, a classic “smurfing” tactic in money laundering. From a customer experience perspective, duplicate accounts can also cause confusion or missed communications (for instance, one person ends up with two profiles and only one gets an important notice). 

Clearly, finding and eliminating duplicates is important for both security and data integrity. However, manually auditing for duplicate records is tedious and error-prone – especially when slight differences in spelling or data can obscure the match. An automated workflow can continuously scan for potential duplicate accounts and bring them to light before they cause harm, saving countless hours and reducing risk.

Workflow Steps (Duplicate Accounts)

1. The workflow starts by using an API step to pull a list of all active customer accounts from your user database or CRM. It retrieves key identifiers for each account, such as full name, date of birth, email, phone number, mailing address, and any unique IDs (customer ID, etc.).

2. An LLM step processes this list to find likely duplicate accounts. The AI uses fuzzy matching and pattern recognition to compare records and spot where one individual might have two or more accounts. For example, it can flag if two accounts share the same name and birth date but have different emails, or if there are many overlapping details that suggest a single person. Unlike simple exact-match scripts, the AI can catch subtle variations (e.g. “Alice Smyth” vs “Alice Smith” with the same address) that might indicate a duplicate. Using advanced logic to automatically detect and flag these potential duplicates provides far more coverage than manual checks.

3. Once the analysis is complete, the workflow uses an LLM step to compile a structured report that lists each group of suspected duplicate accounts. Each entry includes the customer IDs involved, a short explanation of why the accounts were flagged, the specific data points that matched, and a confidence score. The full report is exported as a CSV file for manual review by fraud, compliance, or operations teams. Since the workflow does not modify or update any records, the CSV acts as the primary review artifact and audit trail. It can be stored, imported into other systems, or used in follow-up workflows as needed.

Value of Automation

Catching duplicate accounts through automation leads to cleaner, more trustworthy data and a stronger security posture. It ensures that each real customer is represented once in your systems, so their transaction history and risk profile are consolidated. This prevents scenarios where a bad actor could exploit multiple accounts to evade detection, or where a legitimate customer accidentally circumvents limits by using two accounts. By cleaning up duplicates, the company can make sure that monitoring (for fraud, credit exposure, etc.) is accurate for each individual. The workflow also saves substantial manual effort: instead of periodic firefights to reconcile records or investigate confusing discrepancies after the fact, the system proactively highlights issues for you. Demonstrating control over duplicate accounts can help your compliance stance. Regulators and auditors expect firms to know their customers and have an eye on unusual account behavior – including multiple accounts for the same person. The FCA, for example, has emphasized that firms should actively monitor existing accounts, not just focus on onboarding new ones. An automated duplicate detection process shows that you are doing due diligence in maintaining a one-customer-one-account principle wherever possible.
