AWS Case Study:
Change Technologies
About Change Technologies
Change Technologies enables users to invest as little as €1 into cryptocurrencies. Their model means that there are no minimum balances, no commission, and no unfair barriers, meaning that anyone with a Smartphone can invest in cryptocurrency.
The Challenge
Since Change Technologies deals with cryptocurrency and processes card payments, they were required to achieve PCI DSS compliance to ensure the security of the data.
Upon assessing their environment, Change Technologies found that their current environment deviated from best practices and compliance standards.
Change Technologies thought that their current AWS environment included all security functionalities and was configured according to best practices and was ready for their PCI DSS compliance certification to undergo the PCI DSS Audit. While we did audit it was found that the environment diverged from best practices and proved to the Client that their environment is not ready for the PCI DSS Audit.
The Solution
Europe’s first choice for simple and secure crypto investing
The Outcome
After the environment was relaunched, Change Technologies underwent a PCI DSS audit, and they were able to achieve full PCI DSS Level 1 compliance within five months after engaging with Silicon Overdrive’s AWS team.
