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.

Security works in layers, not badges.

The implementation review maps sensitive data, trust boundaries, operator actions, and evidence across the entire connected stack.

01Payment-data minimisation

Reduce where sensitive data enters, moves, and persists.

02Identity and access

Roles, authentication, approvals, session controls, and staff lifecycle.

03Transaction protection

Validation, tokenisation, risk signals, velocity policies, and exception handling.

04Operational evidence

Logs, change records, reconciliation, incident context, and audit support.

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.

What a serious security review asks for
