Key features used
Paymenttools uses Tyk to automate compliance and embed security directly into its API platform. By shifting governance “left” and making it effectively invisible to development teams, Paymenttools ensures consistent policy enforcement without slowing delivery.
Tyk provides a centralized control plane for security, access management, and compliance, enabling Paymenttools to scale its payment services with confidence across markets. This approach reduces operational risk, simplifies regulatory alignment, and empowers teams to move faster while maintaining the resilience and trust required in enterprise-grade financial infrastructure.
Paymenttools’ governance evolution
Paymenttools transformed its fragmented API landscape into a unified, secure, and scalable platform with Tyk. By introducing strong governance, reusable security patterns, and platform engineering, Paymenttools achieved both compliance and developer velocity.
“If a developer wants to make a change, you need to request it via Git. It gets automatically validated… After the approval, the change will go to production, and we are safe, we have it documented, we can apply some rules on that based on PCI and ISO compliance.”
Robert Scherbarth, Head of Platform, Paymenttools
- Effective platform governance balances speed and security, enabling innovation at pace
- Practical pattern implementation supports PCI DSS compliance and API authorization
- Design governed API ecosystems empower developer teams
- Management support and cultural change drive success
Paymenttools now has full control of its well-established, consistent, and compliant API governance, enabling it to focus on scaling and innovating rapidly.
