Endava Azure Tokenization Accelerator

The Endava Azure Tokenization Accelerator is a consulting implementation service lasting 10 weeks that offers a centralized, Azure-native token vault solution to enhance payment data security, reduce PCI DSS scope and compliance costs, and enable multi-PSP routing for payment agility.

Highlights:
• Enhance Data Security: Centralized token vault built on Azure
• Reduce PCI DSS Scope: Drastically lower your compliance audit costs
• Unlock Payment Agility: Universal tokens enable multi-PSP routing

De-risk Payments and Simplify Compliance with an Azure-Native Vault
Most organizations face significant challenges with PCI compliance and the security risks of handling sensitive data. Our Tokenization Accelerator provides a centralized, containerized service that replaces cardholder or PII data with secure tokens, drastically reducing the scope and cost of PCI DSS audits.

Flexible, Cloud-Native Architecture
Our solution is a production-ready microservice packaged as a Docker container, designed for deployment flexibility. As part of our professional service, we implement the accelerator directly into your Microsoft Azure environment. The architecture leverages a suite of Azure services for security and scale, including Azure API Management (APIM) as a secure entry point, Azure Load Balancer for high availability, and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) or Azure Container Apps for robust orchestration.

Enhance Data Security with Azure Key Vault
Security is at the core of our design. The accelerator integrates directly with Azure Key Vault, using FIPS 140-2 validated hardware security modules (HSMs) to protect the encryption keys for your data at rest. This provides a robust, auditable, and centralized key management system, ensuring that even in a worst-case scenario, the underlying data stored in Azure Cosmos DB is protected.

Unlock Payment Agility & Innovation
By creating a merchant-owned, universal token, this accelerator decouples your business from any single payment provider. This enables multi-PSP routing to optimize costs, increase resilience, and improve authorization rates. Your product teams can innovate faster, building wallet features and new experiences securely without ever touching cardholder data.

Accelerated Implementation from Payments Experts
Leverage Endava's deep domain expertise. We don't just provide code; we provide a comprehensive professional service to deploy and configure this entire Azure-native architecture in your environment, eliminating the complex, time-consuming effort of a ground-up build.

Azure Products Utilized:
• Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS): Highly available container orchestration for deploying the tokenization microservices in an isolated, scalable environment
• Azure Cosmos DB (API for MongoDB): Globally distributed, fully managed database providing encrypted-at-rest storage for your secure token ledger
• Azure Key Vault: FIPS 140-2 validated hardware security modules (HSMs) ensuring strict, least-privilege cryptographic key management (keys never leave the HSM boundary)
• Azure API Management (APIM): Secure ingress layer handling TLS termination, request throttling, and API access policies
• Microsoft Entra ID: Secure identity management using Managed Identities for Azure resources, ensuring services access Key Vault and Cosmos DB without hardcoded credentials
• Azure Application Gateway: Web traffic load balancer with built-in Web Application Firewall (WAF) capabilities to protect the tokenization vault from common web exploits
