SISA Helps a FinTech Organization Optimize Elasticsearch Storage with Custom Compression
For a leading FinTech provider in the Middle East , rapid growth created a critical data hurdle: their legacy Elasticsearch infrastructure could no longer keep pace with expanding regulatory mandates. Facing excessive storage costs and a limited one-month searchable retention window , the organization struggled to meet PCI DSS and ISO 27001 requirements , leaving them vulnerable to compliance risks and operational blind spots. They needed a solution that delivered full visibility and real-time investigation capabilities without breaking the bank.
SISA stepped in with a custom-engineered solution designed to maximize efficiency without compromising accessibility. By implementing a specialized compression approach using Apache Parquet and integrating Trino servers , we enabled direct querying of compressed data without full decompression. This architecture introduced a smart “hot and cold” storage tiering model , boosting compression efficiency to 80% and ensuring that high-volume log data remained fully searchable for deep-dive forensic investigations.
The transformation was immediate and impactful. The organization achieved a massive 60% reduction in storage costs while extending searchable data retention to a full 12 months. With incident investigation speeds improving by 70% , the client now operates with a resilient, cost-effective security posture that satisfies strict global compliance standards and empowers their SOC analysts to detect stealthy attacks faster.
