Regulated environmentInfrastructure that withstands audit and a transaction peak
Wazuh holds the audit trail and detection. Grafana and k6 show whether the gateway holds a peak. Dual-path backup is part of continuity, not an add-on. We map DORA, KNF, and PCI onto control in the system, not onto a spreadsheet beside it.
How it fits together
Audit trail, resilience, peak, continuity
Fintech without a peak test and without an audit trail will not survive an audit or a campaign. We put detection, observability, load, and copies into one program.
- DORA, KNF, and PCI controls live in infrastructure and in rhythm, not in a separate spreadsheet.
- FinOps savings must not break SLO or CDE segmentation.
Change, access, and incident have evidence
Logs from hosts, cluster, cloud, and edge. FIM on payment configuration. SCA under CIS. An alert has a playbook and retention for the auditor. This is the DORA foundation in operations, not only a policy document.
Access
SSO, MFA, PAM to production. Every entry in the audit trail.
Change
Deploy, grant, SG change. Linked to a change ticket.
Incident
Priority, time to detect, time to respond. Material for reporting.
PCI
Segmentation, FIM on CDE, shortened access. Card scope is a separate zone.
Transaction SLO beside infrastructure SLO
Authorization p95, queue, database, issuer error. An alert before the till in the shop feels a timeout. A failover exercise has a metric, not only a protocol on paper.
Path
Gateway, queue, issuer, webhook. Every jump has an owner.
Multi-AZ
Zone loss in the metric. RTO written and measured.
Change
Deploy is visible on the chart. Canary or a small change window.
Report
For risk and for engineering. The same SLO, a different language.
A campaign and end-of-day settlement must not be the first test
A scenario of transactions, tokenization, webhooks, and nightly reports. Soak for pool leaks. We tie the result to Grafana. Capacity is a decision before marketing, not during it.
Model
Traffic from production, not from marketing guesswork.
Gates
Issuer timeout, retry, idempotency. The test shows it.
Change window
Test on staging with synthetic data. Production has separate generator limits.
Chaos
A separate session: loss of database, queue, AZ.
Restore within RTO, on separate keys
Two paths, immutability, an exercise restoring the gateway and the database. An offline playbook. DORA requires evidence, not a statement that a copy exists.
RTO and RPO
Per payment system and per supporting system. A different time budget.
Paths
Close and far, different accounts. Ransomware does not delete both.
Exercise
Restore calendar, a report for risk.
People
Who restores, which DNS, which secret, who communicates.
Operations
From regulation map to exercise
First critical systems and card data. Then audit trail and SLO. Finally a peak test and restore.
- Map CDE, gateways, queues, providers, RTO.
- Controls IAM, FIM, logs, segmentation, edge.
- Resilience Multi-AZ, dashboard, on-call, communication.
- Evidence Load test, failover, restore, report.
Talk
We will discuss audit trail, SLO, and continuity
On that basis we will prepare a scope for a regulated environment.
