Cloud Hosted Data Vault Development

Client 

A leading multinational banking and financial services organisation with a presence in over 60 countries, the bank serves millions of customers across retail, commercial, and investment banking, as well as wealth management. The bank plays a crucial role in global finance. With a strong commitment to regulatory compliance, risk management, and digital transformation, it continuously invests in technology to enhance security, customer experience, and operational resilience.

Challenge

The bank identified Cyber Vault as a critical capability to strengthen its operational resilience. However, no existing patterns or architectures guided the implementation of a cloud-hosted data vault. Limited internal expertise and competing priorities further constrained development efforts, requiring a structured approach to accelerate progress while ensuring security and compliance.

Approach

To address these challenges, we collaborated closely with the bank’s teams to:

• Identify High-Value Use Cases – Conducted in-depth analysis to prioritise early demand and maximise impact.
• Leverage Strategic Cloud Partnerships – Developed standardised reference architectures using cloud-native services to ensure scalability and security.
• Define Clear Data Management Standards – Designed conceptual messaging flows, data models, and API specifications to streamline deployment and integration.

Results

• Standardised Architectures – A common API pattern and vaulting interface, enabling seamless adoption across the organisation.
• Non-Proprietary Data Protection – Ensured flexibility by supporting diverse data formats, reducing vendor lock-in.
• Cost Efficiency – Optimised cloud-native storage solutions to lower the total cost of ownership while maintaining resilience and compliance.

By establishing a scalable, cloud-hosted Cyber Vault, the bank is better equipped to protect critical data assets while maintaining operational agility in an evolving financial landscape.
