CRISKCO
ClickIT helped CRiskCo become PCI compliance to collaborate with their bank's APIs and systems
- THE
Client Project
Initially, CRiskCo had a non-centralized cloud-based architecture, non-compliant with security best practices, with high exposure to security breaches.
CRiskCo is a technology platform that enables small and medium businesses (SMBs) and professional credit providers to evaluate their business customers better and credit applicants’ credibility, detect fraud and predict future credit failures.
- THE
Challenge
Initially, CriskCo had poor AWS best practices, no security controls for all their servers, instances, APIs, and an unstable system lacking DevOps, Automation, and CI-CD best practices.
It was hosted on Azure and AWS, and they needed to improve their security within their AWS environment, servers, and software. Apart from this, they required to be PCI compliant to integrate and collaborate with their Bank’s APIs and systems, Top National banks, including Bank of America, Visa, and Wells Fargo.
- REQUIREMENTS
Support of the infrastructure running in AWS
Support an always-available cloud-based platform & support application deployments
Monitoring and reporting
Ensure adequate monitoring and reporting to be able to identify problems, and resolve/escalate them as appropriate
Automatization
Tools and processes building to support the infrastructure and improve automation for manual elements
Documentation
Maintain accurate and up to date documentation on the current infrastructure and system support documents
- OUR
Implemented Service
To address the challenges mentioned, we brought all cloud resources under the same Azure network instead of having them widely separate through different regions. We applied security best practices that were absent and were required to be fully PCI compliant and we also improved the deployment cycle for applications with the use of Docker and CI/CD

- THE
Results
Now CRiskCo has a centralized cloud-based infrastructure 75% stronger and tolerant of threats and risks, and they have deployment reductions from 15 min to 30 secs.
Additionally, ClickIT enabled Criscko to accelerate growth by implementing multiple DevOps principles, and now they spend less time fixing DevOps issues because they have a dedicated DevOps engineer.
