Modernizing a bank's integration platform. From the ground up.
How Crafty Penguins delivered a fully production-ready, high-availability, multi-data-center platform for a US commercial bank, from zero footprint to documented handover.
Banks, healthcare, government, and anyone else who will be asked to prove how the platform is built and run. We design Linux estates that are technically capable and operationally appropriate, controls, evidence, and change practice included.
Regulated infrastructure work starts when "it works" is no longer enough. Someone is about to ask how it works, who can change it, and what happens when it fails.
They care that access is intentional, changes are traceable, and recovery is real. A clever architecture that can't produce evidence still fails the review.
SOC 2, HIPAA, FFIEC-style expectations, agency policy, the same VM build isn't the answer for all of them.
If logging, tickets, and baselines aren't produced by the way you already work, you'll invent them the week before the visit.
High availability without access control, or backups without integrity, still isn't a regulated posture.
We start from the review you actually face, then make the platform produce the answers as a side effect of running it.
Which framework, which examiner, which customer. What "appropriate" means here.
Access, baselines, logging, backup, change. The list is usually shorter than the fear.
So the next review is a pull from systems you already run, not a fire drill.
Patch cadence, access review, and a partner who understands the environment when the letter arrives.
Hardening, audit response, patch management, and the controls that match what your industry actually requires. From SOC 2 to HIPAA to "we just want to stop being scared of an audit."
