FinTech Investment Platform Achieved 3x Scalability and Cut Security Incident Response by 60% on AWS

A FinTech platform serving investment advisors in wealth management institutions faced a set of compounding challenges as it prepared to scale. Prototype-era infrastructure was limiting platform reliability and product development velocity, while the financial sector's strict security, compliance, and identity management requirements placed additional pressure on an architecture that was not built to meet them. They engaged Coforge to modernize the technology stack and rebuild the platform to scale, meet compliance requirements, and enhance security.

Business Impact

• The platform now scales automatically to meet workload demand, removing the manual intervention that had constrained growth and platform reliability.

• Real-time threat detection via Security Hub, GuardDuty, and CloudTrail reduced security incident resolution time by an estimated 60%, with automated remediation workflows replacing manual response.

• 100% least-privilege access enforcement across all services mitigated unauthorized access risk and simplified compliance reporting for financial regulatory requirements.

• Automated compliance monitoring against SOC 2 and CIS benchmarks reduced manual audit preparation effort by an estimated 40%.

• AWS Backup and disaster recovery configurations cut Recovery Time Objectives by an estimated 50%, ensuring high availability for investment advisory operations.

• Deployment cycles accelerated by an estimated 50% through standardized CodePipeline and CloudFormation workflows, with security compliance maintained throughout.

The platform now meets the security, compliance, and scalability standards required by wealth management operations. From infrastructure modernization to identity management to compliance automation, Coforge delivered a complete re-engineering of the technology stack, underpinned by deep AWS expertise and a clear understanding of what regulated financial services platforms demand.
