Core Banking & Legacy System Decommissioning

Challenge

Financial institutions incur significant ongoing expenditure maintaining end-of-life core banking, loan servicing, and policy administration systems solely to retain access to historical records. These aging platforms carry high licensing, support, and infrastructure costs with diminishing operational returns.

Solution

SMARCK provides a secure, compliant archival repository for customer accounts, transaction histories, loan files, policy documents, and statements consolidating all historical data into a single, auditable platform.

Business Value

Legacy systems can be fully decommissioned, eliminating associated IT costs while preserving instant, audit-ready access to historical data. Retrieval times are reduced from days to minutes, and overall operational efficiency is significantly improved.

Regulatory Compliance & Long-Term Data Retention

Challenge

BFSI institutions are mandated to retain financial and customer data for periods of 7 to 15+ years to comply with RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, SOX, GDPR, and DPDP regulations. Managing this at scale across disparate systems creates compliance gaps and operational complexity.

Solution

SMARCK delivers immutable, encrypted storage with granular audit logging, controlled access policies, and structured retention schedules - purpose-built for long-term regulatory compliance.

Business Value

Regulatory audits are simplified through transparent, traceable data access. Compliance risk is materially reduced, and responses to regulatory inquiries are accelerated with complete data lineage readily available.

Fraud Investigation & Risk Review

Challenge

Fraud prevention, AML, and risk management teams frequently encounter delays when attempting to retrieve historical transaction records, KYC documentation, and communication logs during active investigations - hampering timely decision-making.

Solution

SMARCK centralises all archived financial data and offers rapid, metadata-driven search with secure, role-based document retrieval - enabling investigators to surface relevant records within moments.

Business Value

Investigation timelines are significantly reduced, risk visibility is enhanced, and internal controls are strengthened. Teams can respond to suspicious activity alerts with greater speed and confidence.

Customer Dispute & Claims Handling

Challenge

Retrieving legacy statements, loan agreements, claim files, and historical communications is a time-consuming process across fragmented, disconnected systems - leading to slow resolution cycles and diminished customer experience.

Secure Archival of KYC & Sensitive Documents

Challenge

BFSI organisations must safeguard sensitive KYC data, identity proofs, and financial documents against unauthorised access, misuse, or regulatory breach. Fragmented storage introduces security vulnerabilities and audit exposure.

Solution

SMARCK enforces end-to-end encryption, data masking, role-based access controls, OTP-secured downloads, and detailed audit trails to protect sensitive data while enabling controlled internal access.

Business Value

A robust security posture is maintained in full alignment with data privacy legislation. Authorised personnel retain efficient access to necessary records, while comprehensive audit logs support both internal governance and external regulatory reviews.

Insurance Policy & Claim History Archiving

01

Challenge

Insurers require long-term access to historical policy data, claim files, medical reports, and underwriting documentation for re-evaluations, reserve assessments, and regulatory audits. Retaining this data in active systems is costly and operationally inefficient.

02

Solution

SMARCK provides structured and unstructured archival with full traceability, version history, and metadata-driven search - ensuring authorised stakeholders can retrieve policy and claim records on demand.

03

Business Value

Claims review processes are streamlined, storage costs are reduced, and collaboration with regulators, auditors, and legal teams is significantly improved through consistent, traceable data access.
