Transforming Kashio’s Cloud
More Security, Lower Costs
A Fintech's Security Story
Imagine leading a company in full growth, with hundreds of automated financial transactions flowing through your platform every day. Kashio, a leading Fintech in Latin America, faced exactly this challenge. Their mission: to simplify the lives of thousands of businesses by efficiently managing their accounts receivable and payable, integrating banks, automating processes, and generating real-time financial insights. But with such rapid growth came inevitable questions: Is our infrastructure secure enough? Can we scale without losing efficiency?
That’s where Kashio found binbash.
The Challenge
As Kashio expanded its services, security and cost management became critical concerns. Every new integration, every customer account, every transaction added complexity. How could they protect the growing amount of sensitive data? How could they manage cloud costs before they spiraled out of control? And above all, how could they continue to operate efficiently in an increasingly dynamic environment?
“We knew we needed a solution that would let us grow without compromising our data security or the trust of our clients,” says Alfredo Castillo, Cloud Architect at Kashio.
It was at this point that Kashio decided binbash would be the perfect partner for this transformational journey.
The Journey with binbash
From day one, binbash brought clarity to the table. We didn’t just offer technical solutions; we understood the core of the challenge: Kashio needed a secure, scalable, and optimized infrastructure without sacrificing operational efficiency.
They began with the implementation of an AWS Well-Architected Framework, which not only put Kashio on a more solid foundation but also allowed for an in-depth review of their security and cost management processes. The binbash team didn’t just make changes; they proposed a complete transformation, based on the pillars of security and scalability.
One of the first big wins was implementing an AWS multi-account Landing Zone, which allowed Kashio to organize its infrastructure more efficiently, with an added layer of security for each new account. Automated audits, centralized access controls, and real-time threat detection were some of the key elements that marked a before and after in Kashio’s security.
But binbash didn’t stop at security. They knew that a company’s growth needed to be sustainable. Through their focus on cost optimization, they managed to reduce cloud expenses by 15%.
The Pivotal Moment: Meeting BCP’s Standards
One of the most significant milestones in this journey was when Kashio faced the rigorous cybersecurity evaluation from Banco de Crédito del Perú (BCP), based on the “RESOLUCIÓN SBS Nº 504-2021.” Kashio had to prove that its systems complied with all regulatory requirements regarding information security. Thanks to the collaborative work with binbash, Kashio not only passed the evaluation but did so with 100% compliance.
“Passing that evaluation was a turning point for us. We showed our clients they could trust the security of our platform, and a big part of that achievement was thanks to binbash,” Alfredo recalls.
The Result
After months of intensive work and constant collaboration, Kashio not only achieved its goals but emerged stronger. The infrastructure is now more secure, costs are under control, and processes are much more efficient. In fact, with the help of binbash Leverage™, infrastructure automation with Terraform allowed Kashio to reduce the time needed to deploy new services by 50%.
Today, Kashio continues to grow, but they do so with the confidence that their platform is solid, secure, and ready to scale.
“Working with binbash helped us implement a much more secure platform and keep our infrastructure costs under control. Thanks to that, our clients trust us more,” Alfredo concludes.
The Future
The story of Kashio and binbash is a testament to how a strategic partnership can transform not just an infrastructure but the very vision of a company. Today, with a solid foundation, Kashio is poised to continue leading the FinTech market in Latin America, taking its solutions to new heights.
