Payomatic Case Study

Secure Custom Engineering That Eliminated Millions in Infrastructure Costs

ClientPayomatic

Large, distributed financial services organization operating in a highly regulated environment.

The Challenge

By 2015, Payomatic’s networking environment was costly, inflexible, and increasingly difficult to scale. Proprietary networking hardware and recurring software licenses drove up expenses, while vendor lock-in limited architectural flexibility.

At the same time, Payomatic operated under strict regulatory and security requirements, including PCI DSS and NYDFS Part 500. Any new solution had to meet compliance standards, integrate cleanly with third-party security tools, and operate reliably across a large footprint.

The BastionX Solution

Instead of layering new controls on top of expensive vendor platforms, BastionX designed and implemented a custom-built, security-first networking platform using hardened open-source technologies.

The solution was engineered to:

Eliminate dependency on proprietary networking hardware and licensing
Integrate seamlessly with existing and future third-party security solutions
Enforce strong network segmentation and access controls
Provide full visibility, logging, and auditability
Support Payomatic’s compliance obligations without added complexity

Security was built into the architecture from day one, not bolted on later.

Compliance and Security Outcomes

The custom platform successfully supported Payomatic’s regulatory and security requirements, including:

PCI DSS compliance for payment-related systems
NYDFS Part 500 compliance, including security controls, monitoring, and governance
Clean integration with third-party security and monitoring tools
Auditable controls and logs that held up under regulatory review

This approach demonstrated that open-source-based systems, when engineered correctly, can meet and exceed enterprise security and compliance standards.

The Outcome

The solution delivered both security and efficiency at scale.

Results included:

Millions of dollars saved in hardware, software, and licensing costs
A secure, compliant networking platform
Long-term cost predictability
Reduced vendor lock-in
A flexible architecture that could evolve with regulatory and business needs
