Security
Define the Security Boundary Before Go-Live
A commercial gateway should make controls and responsibilities inspectable. This site does not claim certifications or regulatory authorisations that have not been supplied and verified.

The implementation review maps sensitive data, trust boundaries, operator actions, and evidence across the entire connected stack.
Reduce where sensitive data enters, moves, and persists.
Roles, authentication, approvals, session controls, and staff lifecycle.
Validation, tokenisation, risk signals, velocity policies, and exception handling.
Logs, change records, reconciliation, incident context, and audit support.
India operating context
Gateway software is not a regulatory shortcut.
Your role may involve a gateway, aggregator, payment service provider, technology service provider, merchant platform, or another contractual structure. Each has different obligations and dependencies.
- Confirm the legal and commercial operating role.
- Identify acquiring, aggregation, and settlement relationships.
- Map RBI, card-network, NPCI, privacy, and contractual requirements that apply.
- Validate certification scope and evidence with qualified specialists.
This page is operational information, not legal advice or a claim of approval.
What a serious security review asks for
Evidence should match the actual deployment, not a generic marketing statement.
| Area | Questions | Expected evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Data path | Where does payment data enter and leave? | Current architecture and data-flow diagrams |
| Access | Who can view, change, refund, or export? | Role matrix, access logs, and review process |
| Change | How are routing and integration changes approved? | Environment, release, and rollback controls |
| Incidents | How are anomalies investigated and contained? | Alert, escalation, evidence, and communication plan |
