Infrastructure engineered for financial-grade scale
From matching-engine internals to HSM-backed key management — every layer of the Virtual Vision platform is designed with security, resilience and regulatory rigour from day one.
Event-driven, horizontally scalable, multi-region
A modular microservices architecture means every component scales independently, deploys without downtime, and fails without cascading — the baseline requirement for always-on financial infrastructure.
Microservices
Each domain — matching, payments, KYC, market-data — is an independently deployable service with its own SLA, scaling policy and release cadence.
Event-Driven Core
Kafka-backed event bus decouples producers from consumers, guarantees exactly-once semantics and provides a full, replayable audit trail at every layer.
Multi-Region Active-Active
Primary and failover regions in Singapore, Tokyo and Dublin run simultaneously; health-based routing achieves sub-30-second failover with zero data loss.
Zero-Downtime Deployments
Blue/green and canary pipelines, combined with feature flags, let us ship multiple times per day without maintenance windows or user-visible interruptions.
Hardened from the inside out
Security is not a configuration checkbox — it is an architectural constraint applied at every layer, from key generation to network egress.
HSM Key Management
All signing and encryption keys are generated inside FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Hardware Security Modules. Keys never leave the HSM boundary in plaintext; rotation is automated and logged.
Segregated Environments
Production, staging and development networks are fully isolated with dedicated VPCs, separate IAM principals and no cross-environment trust paths — eliminating lateral movement risk.
End-to-End Encryption
TLS 1.3 enforced on all external and internal service-to-service communication. Data at rest encrypted with AES-256; field-level encryption applied to PII and financial data.
Continuous Threat Monitoring
24/7 SIEM platform with anomaly detection, real-time alerting and automated containment playbooks. Mean time-to-detect for critical events is under 4 minutes.
Annual Penetration Testing
Independent CREST-certified red-team engagements annually, plus continuous automated scanning. All findings triaged and remediated under tracked SLAs.
Audited Code Paths
Mandatory code review gates, SAST/DAST in CI pipelines, dependency-vulnerability scanning and signed release artefacts ensure every change is traceable to a verified author.
Meeting regulators where they operate
Our compliance posture is maintained continuously — not as a point-in-time exercise. Certifications, audits and licensing readiness are tracked as living programme deliverables.
Information security management system certified. Annual surveillance audits and triennial recertifications.
Trust service criteria for security, availability and confidentiality attested by independent CPA firm.
Card-data environments architected to PCI-DSS v4.0 requirements. QSA-guided readiness programme ongoing.
Technology Risk Management guidelines followed for Singapore-domiciled clients and deployments.
Supervisory Policy Manual TM-E-1 controls mapped and evidenced for Hong Kong exchange operations.
Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority compliance framework incorporated into product roadmap.
All certification artefacts and audit reports are available to clients and prospects under NDA upon request.
Developer-first integration, production-grade reliability
Clean, versioned APIs with comprehensive SDKs, interactive sandbox access and real-time WebSocket streams — integration that respects your engineering team's time.
REST API v2
Fully versioned, OpenAPI 3.1 spec published. Consistent error envelope, cursor pagination and idempotency keys on every mutating endpoint.
WebSocket Streams
Real-time order book, trade feed, account balance and market-data streams over persistent WebSocket connections with automatic reconnection support.
Native SDKs
Official SDKs for TypeScript/Node.js, Python and Go. Each SDK ships with type definitions, retry logic, circuit breakers and usage examples.
Webhooks
Reliable event delivery with exponential back-off retries, HMAC-SHA256 payload signing and per-endpoint delivery logs for full observability.
Sandbox Environment
Fully isolated sandbox mirroring production capabilities — including simulated order matching and AML decision trees — no production data, no risk.
FIX Gateway
FIX 4.4 gateway for institutional order routing, with session management, heartbeat monitoring and market-specific dialect support.

}Numbers that hold under production load
These figures represent measured performance under sustained load — not theoretical peaks — validated by third-party load testing and continuous production monitoring.
Horizontal scaling built in, not bolted on
Auto-Scaling Groups
CPU, memory and queue-depth metrics drive automatic horizontal scaling within seconds — no manual intervention, no pre-provisioning required.
Stateless Service Design
Every service is stateless by design; session and application state live exclusively in distributed stores, enabling instant scale-out without sticky sessions.
Database Sharding & Read Replicas
Write traffic routed to sharded primaries; read replicas handle analytical and reporting workloads without affecting transaction throughput.
Circuit Breakers & Back-Pressure
Resilience4j-based circuit breakers and rate-limiter back-pressure prevent cascading failures under extreme load spikes.
Trailing 24-month measurement across all production deployments. Incidents tracked publicly in the client portal with full RCA reports within 48 hours.
