How a Fintech Company Built a Reliable Disaster Recovery Plan

(For privacy reasons, we are using the name “FinCore” as a placeholder. This case study is based on a
real project and addresses real challenges faced by one of our clients.)

FinCore, a growing fintech company in India, specializes in managing financial data through its secure
account aggregator platform. Their platform helps individuals and businesses make informed
decisions in banking, insurance, lending, and wealth management.

As their operations expanded, FinCore recognized the need for a disaster recovery (DR) solution to
improve compliance and ensure infrastructure reliability. They partnered with TechMonarch to
implement a robust DR setup on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Challenge:  Managing Sensitive Data

FinCore’s primary challenge was handling the replication of sensitive financial data. The solution had
to ensure seamless operations with minimal downtime while meeting strict recovery standards for
regulatory compliance.

Solution: A Reliable Disaster Recovery Setup on GCP

Our team at TechMonarch worked closely with FinCore to create a secure, scalable DR environment
on Google Cloud:

• Foundation Setup: We built an Enterprise Landing Zone on GCP, creating a solid base for
  FinCore’s cloud operations.
• Staging and Migration: A staging environment was set up to test application and database
  migrations before they were moved to the cloud. We ensured a smooth transition without
  disruptions.
• DR Environment Implementation: We configured a dedicated DR setup, replicating
  applications and databases to meet industry-standard Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and
  Recovery Point Objectives (RPO).
• Automation for Efficiency: Using CI/CD pipelines, we automated the infrastructure creation
  process, reducing manual effort and speeding up deployments.
• Testing and Validation: A DR drill tested the setup’s resilience, confirming it was ready to
  handle potential outages.

Results: Secure, Resilient Operations

Here’s what we achieved for FinCore:

• Fast Recovery Times: We successfully met RTO and RPO targets, ensuring operations could
  resume quickly after any disruption.
• Simplified Processes: Automated workflows improved operational efficiency and reduced
  deployment time.
• Seamless Replication: Data replication was achieved with minimal downtime during testing
  and migrations.
• Enhanced Reliability: FinCore’s new cloud setup offers unmatched reliability and peace of
  mind.
