Case Study: PPI Financial Services achieves secure, compliant cloud banking access with Teleport

PPI Financial Services achieves zero platform downtime for 2 years with Teleport

PPI Financial Services, a specialized managed service provider for the European financial sector, faced significant challenges in securing access to its critical banking infrastructure. Operating under strict regulations like Germany's C5 and KRITIS, the company needed to manage growing complexity across multiple data centers and Kubernetes clusters. The challenge was to enable fast, secure onboarding of engineers and ensure full auditability for compliance without introducing manual, high-risk access workflows for its customer, Hamburg Commercial Bank.

The vendor Teleport provided its Infrastructure Identity platform as the solution, integrating with single sign-on to eliminate manual certificate management. By using Teleport's Kubernetes Operator and Terraform provider, PPI FS achieved a fully auditable, infrastructure-as-code approach to access control. The results included a dramatically simplified onboarding process, zero platform-attributable downtime over two years, and a strengthened compliance posture that contributed to achieving a C5 adequacy assessment. Teleport provided a scalable foundation for PPI FS's regulated cloud platform.
