Architectural Framework for Regulatory-Compliant Enterprise Co-Branded Credit Card Platforms

Abstract

Enterprise co-branded credit card projects must work within strict rules about regulations, security, and privacy, while also handling a large number of transactions. They need to follow different compliance rules set by various organizations, especially because they involve both banking and non-banking large consumer systems. The principles of security-by-design and compliance, which involve integrating security and compliance into the system from the outset, help the platform meet regulatory requirements at a high level and enable flexible processing through an event-driven approach for making credit decisions. of concerns and operational scalability. Establishing a segmented cardholder data network ensures the separation of cardholder data from other system components. Tokenization modules create tokens to validate transactions and credentials for the credit card in credential vaults. Privacy-preserving techniques reduce the identity, attribute, inferential, and membership disclosure threats. Privacy by Design principles provide guidance for protecting privacy systems proactively instead of attempting to patch privacy issues as they arise. High-performance network designs allow for handling many transactions at once while being adaptable based on available resources and the type of work needed. The circuit breaker pattern and replica management capabilities ensure failure does not bring down a service.
