Case Study: Parakeet achieves PCI compliance 3x faster with base2Services

Parakeet achieves PCI compliance 3x faster in 6 weeks with base2Services

Parakeet, a B2B early payments platform, needed to rapidly achieve PCI DSS compliance for its cloud-native SaaS application on AWS. Lacking the in-house technical resources and security expertise, they faced significant challenges in building a secure, production-ready environment. They partnered with base2Services for their DevOps as a Service offering to overcome these hurdles and accelerate their time to market.

base2Services architected a secure, automated, and PCI-compliant AWS environment for Parakeet. The solution included a managed Amazon EKS platform, Jenkins CI/CD pipelines, and a suite of automated AWS security services. This enabled Parakeet to achieve PCI DSS compliance in just six weeks, three times faster than anticipated. The partnership resulted in a 53% cost reduction on dev/test environments and over $200,000 in annual staffing savings, while also enabling Parakeet to launch its customer-facing product in under three months.
