AN IMMUTABLE RECORD. EVERY ACTION ON FILE.

Catch fraud without exposing the bank.

Financial institutions work under constant fraud pressure and strict regulation, including GLBA, PCI-DSS, and AML/KYC. Replica is a secure operations platform: teams complete their most sensitive work anonymously and on the record, without putting production systems in the blast radius.

Chasing fraud from bank infrastructure risks the very systems and customer data you’re protecting, and a single slip can become a compliance breach. Replica moves it into an isolated, contained environment under managed attribution, so investigators reach criminal forums without linking back to the institution, every action logged.

Questions about Replica for financial institutions

How does Replica keep fraud investigations anonymous?
Every session runs under managed attribution, so investigators reach criminal forums and marketplaces without linking activity back to the institution. The work stays off the corporate network, and identities can rotate across collections.
Does Replica support our regulatory and audit requirements?
Replica logs every action and stores evidence in access-controlled storage, producing an audit-ready trail, and keeps sensitive work isolated from production systems. Confirm your specific obligations, including GLBA, PCI-DSS, and AML/KYC, with your compliance team for your jurisdiction.
Can investigators collaborate with regulators and law enforcement?
Yes. Partners work the same case inside a single controlled-access, fully logged environment, without exposing the institution’s sources, methods, or network.
Can we test fintech and payment systems without risking production?
Yes. Payment workflows, authentication, and new fintech run in isolated sandboxes with no path to live systems, and every test is documented for audit.
