AI-Ready.
PalC engineers high-performance, regulated infrastructure for banks, financial services, and insurance - from AI fabric and secure transaction networks to compliance observability and zero-trust access control.
What We Do
Infrastructure for regulated financial environments
PalC covers every critical layer — from AI inference fabric and secure transaction networks to compliance observability and zero-trust access control.
Secure Network Architecture
Zero-trust segmentation, DPDK-accelerated IPsec gateways, and micro-segmentation for transaction flows and sensitive data.
Compliance & Audit
Infrastructure controls mapped to RBI, SEBI, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001 — with audit trail and change management.
Transaction Network Performance
Deterministic low-latency network fabric for payment rails, trading platforms, and core banking with sub-millisecond guarantees.
Observability & SIEM Integration
Flow telemetry, packet capture, and security event pipelines integrated into SIEM and SOC workflows for real-time threat response.
IAM & Access Control
Identity-aware network access with RBAC, MFA enforcement at the infrastructure layer, and privileged access management integration.

AI INFRASTRUCTURE
Built for AI workloads in regulated environments
BFSI AI workloads demand more than standard cloud infrastructure — they require deterministic latency, lossless fabric, data residency guarantees, and an audit trail that satisfies regulators.
1
Low-latency inference fabric
RDMA over converged Ethernet (RoCE v2) fabric with lossless queuing — designed for real-time fraud scoring and microsecond inference.
2
On-premise & sovereign AI
Air-gapped, on-premise AI infrastructure with full data residency — meeting RBI and SEBI requirements for sensitive financial data without cloud exposure.
3
Encrypted east-west traffic
All GPU-to-GPU and compute-to-storage traffic encrypted and micro-segmented — so model training data and inference pathways traverse unprotected paths.
4
Audit-ready from day one
Every infrastructure access, configuration change, and data flow logged and immutable — giving compliance teams full visibility without retrofitting.
COMPLIANCE ENGINEERING
Infrastructure controls that satisfy regulators
PalC engineers infrastructure with compliance requirements built in — not bolted on after deployment.
STEP 1
Regulatory Mapping
Requirements from RBI, SEBI, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001 translated into concrete infrastructure controls.
STEP 2
Segmentation & Access
Network zones, micro-segmentation, RBAC policies, and privileged access controls designed and validated.
STEP 3
Observability Pipeline
Audit log ingestion, flow telemetry, SNMP, and SIEM integration — immutable event trail from every infrastructure layer.
STEP 4
Controlled Change Management
All infrastructure changes staged, validated, and rolled out under change management processes with documented rollback cycles.
STEP 5
Audit & Certification Support
Evidence packaging, controller documentation, and technical support for internal and regulatory audit cycles.

Security
Security without the performance penalty
BFSI security requirements are non-negotiable — but they can't come at the cost of transaction latency or throughput. PalC uses DPDK-accelerated IPsec and hardware-offloaded encryption to deliver carrier-grade security at line rate.
1
DPDK IPsec Gateway
Kernel bypass packet processing with DPDK enables AES-256-GCM encryption at 100G line rate — protecting inter-DC and inter-zone traffic without measurable latency impact on payment flows.
2
Zero-trust micro-segmentation
Every workload zone — trading, payments, customer data, audit — isolated with explicit allow policies. Lateral movement is architected out, not monitored after damage.
3
Immutable audit at every layer
Config changes, access events, and traffic anomalies captured immutably at the infrastructure layer — feeding SIEM and SOC workflows with high-fidelity, tamper-proof evidence.
REGULATORY FRAMEWORKS
Infrastructure aligned to BFSI regulations
PalC maps infrastructure engineering to the regulatory frameworks your organisation operates under.
RESERVE BANK OF INDIA
RBI IT & Cyber Security Framework
PalC engineers infrastructure controls aligned with RBI IT framework for banks — covering network segmentation, access controls, audit trails, incident response capabilities, and data localisation requirements for critical payment systems.
PCI-DSS
PCI-DSS v4.0 Network Controls
Payment Card Industry requirements translated into network architecture — cardholder data environment (CDE) isolation, firewall rule governance, encrypted transmission of cardholder data, and logging for Requirements 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, and 10.
CASE STUDY PalC deployed SONiC-based infrastructure for a national-scale digital payments modernisation — PCI-DSS compliant, zero downtime.
ISO 27001
ISO 27001 Network Security Controls
ISO 27001 Annex A network security controls (A.8.20–A.8.23) implemented at the infrastructure layer — covering network controls, segregation, monitoring, web filtering policies, and documented security procedures for certification evidence packages.
SEBI
SEBI Cyber Security & Resilience Framework
SEBI's SCSRF requirements for market infrastructure institutions and registered entities — technology risk management, cyber resilience measures, recovery time objectives, and infrastructure resilience testing aligned to SEBI circulars.
OBSERVABILITY
Complete visibility for audit, compliance, and incident response
In BFSI, visibility isn't optional — it's a regulatory requirement. PalC builds the full observability pipeline, from packet capture and flow telemetry to SIEM integration and real-time anomaly alerting.
•
Flow Telemetry & NetFlow
Per-flow visibility across all network segments — feeding SIEM, fraud analytics, and compliance dashboards with high-fidelity data.
•
Packet Broker for Security Tools
Disaggregated packet brokering delivers replicated traffic to IDS, DLP, and forensic tools — without oversubscribing monitoring infrastructure.
•
SIEM & SOC Integration
Infrastructure events, flow changes, and anomalies correlated and forwarded to SIEM — including SOC workflows for real-time response.
•
Immutable Audit Logging
All access events, configuration changes, and security events captured immutably and retained in accordance with regulatory retention requirements — ready for internal and external audit.
