Introduction

Clavis Fintech is a growing financial technology company delivering secure and scalable digital solutions to its customers. To support rapid growth, Clavis required a cloud architecture that ensured strong governance, scalability, and operational efficiency while safeguarding sensitive financial data.

The solution was designed to:

  • Establish a secure and governed multi-account AWS environment.
  • Provide scalability for production and development workloads.
  • Strengthen security foundations with encryption, access control, and monitoring.
  • Enable cost transparency and operational efficiency through centralized services.

Business Challenge

Clavis Fintech initially operated all of its workloads within a single AWS account, with limited governance, monitoring, and compliance controls. As the business grew, the following challenges surfaced:

  • Lack of governance and security boundaries between development, staging, and production environments.
  • Scalability concerns as new applications and services were onboarded.
  • Regulatory compliance risks due to insufficient auditing and monitoring.
  • Operational inefficiencies from manual processes in deployment and account management.

Proposed Solution

Atomic Computing partnered with Clavis Fintech to design and implement a secure, scalable, and compliant AWS environment tailored for SMB growth. The engagement included:

  • Landing Zone Implementation: Designed and deployed an AWS Control Tower–based Landing Zone with a multi-account strategy (separating dev, staging, and production).
  • Security & Compliance: Implemented AWS IAM, SCPs, AWS Config, and CloudTrail for strict governance and compliance auditing.
  • Resilience & Scalability: Introduced  cross-account replication to ensure business continuity and disaster recovery.
  • Automation: Leveraged AWS Systems Manager and CloudFormation for infrastructure automation and consistent deployments.
  • Cost Optimization: Applied AWS Budgets and Cost Explorer to provide visibility and control over SMB cloud spending.

Outcomes & Benefits

Following the transformation, Clavis Fintech achieved measurable improvements:

  • Improved Security & Compliance: Aligned operations with financial industry compliance requirements through enhanced monitoring and governance.
  • Operational Efficiency: Automated deployments reduced manual overhead, enabling the small IT team to focus on innovation.
  • Scalability & Growth: The new multi-account, multi-region architecture allowed Clavis Fintech to seamlessly scale services as customer adoption grew.
  • Resilience: Disaster recovery capabilities ensured high availability and reduced downtime risks.
  • Cost Control: With FinOps practices in place, Clavis Fintech optimized its spend and  avoided unnecessary overhead, critical for an SMB.

Why AWS

The combination of AWS Control Tower, IAM, Systems Manager, and cost optimization tools provided Clavis Fintech with enterprise-grade capabilities at an SMB-friendly scale.
