Project Summary

Intellias augmented a distributed engineering effort for a B2B payments company (gambling vertical), building a payment integration application and improving the server-side platform. The engagement focused on achieving strict security and audit requirements (PCI level 1) to support a PSP license application in Malta. Intellias provided a large portion of the engineering team (40% of the team, >60 developers) and embedded a security specialist to produce architecture and testing artifacts for the audit. Overall, deliverables were of good quality with stable staff retention, though deadlines were occasionally missed.

Key Challenges

  • Modernize IT infrastructure and implement a hybrid Azure integration.
  • Achieve PCI Level 1 security to obtain a Payment Service Provider (PSP) license in Malta.
  • Replicate and improve an existing lower-quality payment solution under higher security and audit requirements.

Project Deliverables

  • Payment integration application
  • Server-side backend integrations and storage
  • Web-based back-office frontend for configuration, search, and administration
  • Architectural documentation and security testing to support PCI compliance and PSP license application
  • Embedded security specialist conducting reviews and testing

Project Solution

Built a payment integration application with a server-side focus, implementing backend integrations, storage and security. Architected the solution to meet strict audit requirements and supported the client's application for a Payment Service Provider (PSP) license in Malta. Achieved PCI Level 1 security standards by embedding a dedicated security specialist who produced architecture documentation and testing to pass the audit. Intellias contributed a large portion of the engineering capacity (over 60 developers, ~40% of the team), primarily senior .NET and Java developers, and developed a web front-end back-office interface for administration and configuration.

Project Outcome

  • High-quality development team with strong retention (approximately 50 of 60 developers retained).
  • Deliverables generally required little retroactive revision.
  • Improved communication and adaptation to the client's project management tools.
  • Team integrated as an extension of the client, including relocation to a client-branded office.
