The Opportunity

Problem

Solo fintech founders cannot achieve PCI compliance and implement secure payment processing without a development team.

Solution

CompliFlow scans your app URL or code snippet for PCI gaps, then deploys a secure payment flow overlay that's fully compliant. It generates fix reports, embeddable flows, and ongoing monitoring alerts. Solo founders get enterprise-grade compliance without audits or teams.

Target Audience

Solo fintech founders or indie hackers developing payment apps without dev teams

Differentiator

AI-powered scanner + hosted flows, provides certification badges for marketing.
