Challenge
APRA security requirements to support digital banks.
With more than 2 million enterprise users currently on the platform, it is vital that Unifii’s environment is not only highly available, but secure.
Unifii has significant customers in the banking industry including one of Australia’s emergent NeoBanks, who is radically reimagining banking IT by standing up 100% of their back-end infrastructure in the Cloud.
Glen Jobson, Unifii CTO, said that there are significant security requirements to ensure the data in the cloud is highly secure. “We needed to take our digital transformation platform to the next level of security to meet APRA requirements as we start to support digital banks in Australia.” (Glen Jobson)
Expertise in the AWS cloud infrastructure design was required with emphasis on the security of the document platform and how it would interact with core banking systems and other secure environments.
Approach
Implementing a Well-Architected security framework.
Unifii partnered with Itoc to assist with architecture and security implementation of the Unifii Platform on AWS, so that their team of software engineers could continue to focus on the core of their business – the continual development and improvement of a world-class digital transformation platform as a service.
“Itoc were the perfect partner with extensive proven experience working with FinTechs, backed by their AWS Financial Services and Security competencies.” (Glen Jobson)
As part of the project, Itoc evaluated the relevant security guidelines and specifications and built the AWS environment and infrastructure to adhere to security compliance frameworks such as the ISO2701, ISO2017, CIS AWS Foundations, CIS top 20, GDPR and ACSC Protect Essential 8. Itoc implemented a well-architected security framework based on next-generation security principles, tooling, and operating procedures.
“Through a managed services partnership with Itoc, the ongoing maintenance of the platform is enhanced and we can continue to focus on best practice security hardening to safeguard each component of the platform.” (Glen Jobson)
Outcome
Ensuring compliance and standards over time.
“Our promise to customers is that their data is encrypted and safe on our document platform and at every stage of the document generation process.” (Glen Jobson).
The security framework implemented by Itoc combined with the work practices, infrastructure and controls in place at Unifii, ensures that the platform adheres to APRA and ISO 27001 security principles.
“Security is not just about today - it is an ongoing initiative. Itoc’s managed services helps us to maintain the health and integrity of our platform every day, while ensuring compliance with regulations and standards over time.” (Glen Jobson)
