Compliance and Regulations

Teams in the fintech sector often work under PCI DSS, SOX, GDPR, SOC 2, PSD2. PULSX is not certified under these frameworks and does not sign business associate agreements, so it is not a compliance tool on its own. What it gives you is evidence: a timestamped uptime history and incident log you can export as CSV, plus a team audit log, to show auditors alongside your own controls.

Keep regulated data out of monitor URLs, headers and alert messages. PULSX only needs to reach an endpoint, not read what is behind it.
