Case Study: Kikapay achieves stronger cloud security and compliance with Ermetic

How Kikapay leverages Ermetic to be confident that their security profile is sufficient

Kikapay, a cloud-native fintech company behind the Kika online open banking payments service, needed a scalable and secure architecture that could keep pace with rapid product changes, multiple parallel projects, and growing AWS complexity. Working with MOHARA, the team faced sprawling IAM configurations, limited visibility into their cloud security posture, and the need to communicate risk clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders while meeting FCA and data compliance requirements.

Ermetic helped Kikapay automate cloud security profile management, continuously analyze permissions and configurations, and surface the highest risks for investigation and remediation. With Ermetic, Kikapay gained better visibility, stronger governance, and confidence that its security posture was “good enough” at each stage of growth, helping it pass a cloud security penetration test in just a few days and streamline audits and ongoing security monitoring.
