Industries / Financial Services

Infrastructure for financial institutions.

Banks, insurers, fintechs, payments and asset managers: systems that cannot stop, leak or fail an audit. Vonahost designs the infrastructure around those three facts.

The sector

In finance, infrastructure is part of the risk model. Every server, network path and backup has to be justified to the board, the regulator and the customer.

Single-tenant compute, encrypted storage, private AI. Documented for risk and compliance.

In every transaction

Payments approved, fraud blocked, in milliseconds.

Each transaction reaches a dedicated server before it is posted. The Vonahost AI scores it, approves the legitimate ones and isolates anything suspicious for review.

Dedicated servers that score every payment before it is posted.

Challenges

What the sector requires.

  • Uptime is revenue

    Payments, trading, banking: minutes of downtime cost transactions and trust.

    01
  • Data must stay put

    Client and transaction data must often stay in-country, on traceable hardware.

    02
  • Everything is audited

    Access, changes and incidents need a trail that survives any audit.

    03
  • AI without exposure

    Fraud, credit and document models need client data, kept off public AI.

How we operate

Run as a control environment.

Architecture, data flows, access model and recovery plan: documented and approved before go-live.

  • Single-tenant core

    Core banking, ledgers, DBs on dedicated AMD EPYC.

    01
  • Segmented networks

    Prod, staging and partners on separate private networks.

    02
  • Encryption everywhere

    TLS in transit; DBs, backups and logs encrypted at rest.

    03
  • Access you can prove

    Named accounts, MFA and retained access logs.

    04
  • Tested recovery

    RPO and RTO agreed in writing and tested on schedule.

    05

Reference architecture

Environment architecture.

Every project is sized and documented individually.

Compute
Dedicated servers: ledgers, DBs. Managed cloud: portals, APIs.
Data
Replicated DBs and a risk and finance data warehouse.
AI
Private models for fraud, credit and document review.
Network
Private links, branch/partner VPN, edge DDoS mitigation.
Security
Least privilege, MFA, logging and vulnerability management.
Continuity
Second-location backups and recovery runbooks.

Workloads

Sector use cases.

  • Real-time payments

    Gateways and payment APIs sized for peak volume.

    01
  • Risk and fraud models

    Scoring models trained and served on private compute.

    02
  • Customer platforms

    Banking apps, client portals, onboarding with KYC docs.

    03

Compliance

Requirements we design for.

Compliance is shared: we provide infrastructure controls and documentation, you own your obligations.

  • PCI DSS

    Segmented card environments in PCI DSS facilities when required.

    01
  • SOX and internal controls

    Change control, access reviews, logs for financial controls.

    02
  • GLBA and privacy laws

    Data handling per GLBA, CCPA, GDPR and LGPD, where you operate.

    03
  • Outsourcing rules

    Regulator-ready contracts: data location, subcontractors, exit terms.

    04

Engagement

How a project runs.

01

Assessment

Workloads, data, rules and vendors reviewed with your team.

02

Architecture

Design, sites, capacity and monthly cost, in writing.

03

Deployment

Environments built, data migrated, every part tested.

04

Operation

Monitoring, updates, backups, capacity: by contract.

Questions

Common questions.

Can our data stay in one country?

Yes. Each environment is deployed in the location you choose and the location is written in the contract.

Do you provide documentation for audits?

Yes. Architecture, access model, change records and recovery tests are documented and available to your auditors.

Can we run AI on customer data?

Yes, on private compute dedicated to you. Data and models are not shared with third parties.
