AWS engineering for Banking & Capital Markets

Production AWS built for the compliance reality of Banking & Capital Markets. Not generic engineering adapted to your sector — sector-native architecture from the first design decision.

Why AWS in Banking & Capital Markets

Banking and capital markets AWS deployments must navigate the most complex compliance environment in financial services: SOC 2 Type II for operational trust, PCI-DSS for any system touching payment card data, GLBA Safeguards Rule for consumer financial information, and BSA/AML transaction monitoring requirements. AWS systems in banking environments must maintain audit trails that satisfy both internal controls (SOX ITGC requirements for public companies) and external regulatory examination from OCC, FDIC, and Federal Reserve supervisors.

The technical requirements in banking AWS deployments go beyond application-level controls. Access management must satisfy Segregation of Duties requirements — no single developer or operator can approve, deploy, and audit their own changes. Change management must produce records that pass ITGC audit review. Encryption must meet the specific cipher suite requirements of each regulatory framework. BSA/AML transaction monitoring must analyze behavioral patterns, not just threshold-based alerts. We architect AWS banking systems where these requirements are built into the engineering workflow, not imposed after the fact.

Compliance Context

Banking & Capital Markets engineering operates under a specific set of regulatory frameworks that govern data handling, security controls, audit requirements, and system availability. Every AWS architecture decision we make in this sector is evaluated against these frameworks — not added as a compliance layer afterward.

How We Deploy AWS for Banking & Capital Markets
01

SOC 2 Type II controls implemented at the AWS infrastructure level — access management, change management, audit logging

02

PCI-DSS scope reduction through tokenization architecture before any card processing is built

03

GLBA Safeguards Rule technical controls implemented from the first infrastructure decision

04

BSA/AML transaction monitoring architecture designed alongside the core AWS application
