eKYC and eSignature Automation Platform

Our client is a regional leader in providing digital contract and compliance solutions for businesses across various industries

Challenge:

• The need for an automated eKYC and eSignature platform emerged as the client aimed to elevate their service offerings. Manual identity verification and signature workflows were labor-intensive, error-prone, and time-consuming, making it challenging to scale operations effectively.
• Furthermore, the client required a solution that adhered to strict compliance standards while providing a seamless experience to end users.

We worked closely with the client to conceptualise and build a platform designed to:

• Automate identity verification (eKYC) processes, integrating secure document capture, validation, and fraud detection mechanisms.
• Enable digital signatures that are legally binding, secure, and user-friendly.

• Streamline customer onboarding and contract execution workflows.

The development of the eKYC and eSignature platform was guided by a focus on delivering an integrated, high-performing, and future-proof solution. The following innovations were central:

• Scalable Microservices Framework: Designed a distributed architecture using Node.js to handle thousands of concurrent requests seamlessly. Each service was independently deployable, ensuring minimal downtime and easy upgrades.
• Real-Time User Interaction: Built a front-end with React, leveraging websockets and server-sent events to provide instantaneous updates to users as their identity verification progressed.
• Data Orchestration Layer: Created a powerful orchestration layer to efficiently route and manage data between PostgreSQL, Redis, and the backend services, ensuring consistency and rapid data retrieval for complex operations like fraud detection.
• Dynamic Workflow Engine: Integrated a workflow engine to automate multi-step processes, such as document verification, identity validation, and digital signature execution. The engine supported flexible rule definitions, allowing the client to adapt quickly to new compliance requirements.

• Enhanced Security Measures: Developed a zero-trust security model that included end-to-end encryption, secure APIs, and granular access controls. Keycloak managed all user authentication and authorisation, integrating seamlessly with the workflow engine.
• Containerised Deployments and CI/CD: Established an automated CI/CD pipeline that facilitated frequent releases. Using Docker, the platform was deployed in isolated, reproducible environments across the client’s virtual infrastructure.
• AI-Driven Fraud Detection: Added an AI-based module that analysed document patterns, user behavior, and historical data to flag potential fraud cases in real time, significantly enhancing security and trustworthiness.
