PHP development for financial services

Streamlining file upload and storage

 

A leading global provider of services in debt collection, confidential credit control, and tracing was looking for improvements to their system for Egypt , middle east client file uploads.

Executive brief

Building a secure file sharing solution

This financial services client came to us with an outdated and inefficient file sharing system. Luckily for them, we were able to provide a custom PHP development solution which was secure and easy to use. As a result, this enabled their internal teams and clients to work together seamlessly and share sensitive documents without data breach concerns.

The Challenge

Insecure manual file uploads

 

Firstly, with no dedicated applications in place, clients were required to send files regarding outstanding debt as emails or third-party file transfer platforms.

 

Unfortunately, this created a problem of low security for sensitive information and made collaboration or transfer of files between departments difficult. All of this had the effect of hampering productivity and performance.

The Solution

Custom PHP development

 

Following the brief, we designed and built a bespoke PHP development application that was accessible to any internal team. Ultimately, this allowed clients to upload files directly to the company’s storage. Thereafter, our developers ensured security through rigorous penetration testing and a role-based system that only permitted client users to view their own files.

The Results

Collaboration and compliance

 

Our web-based PHP application provided easy and flexible accessibility for both clients and internal teams, with security risks brought down to a minimum.

 

The company was satisfied with both the solution and our team’s seamless build and deployment. Most importantly, based on the success of this project, extra administrative features are being discussed for future development.

Analytics

Analytics cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Websites are being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customise our Websites for you.

Google Analytics
The cookie _gcl_au is used by Google Analytics to understand user interaction with the website.

For example, in order for Google Analytics to determine that two distinct hits belong to the same user, a unique identifier, associated with that particular user, must be sent with each hit.

The analytics.js library accomplishes this via the Client ID field, a unique, randomly generated string that gets stored in the browsers cookies, so subsequent visits to the same site can be associated with the same user.

By default, analytics.js uses a single, first-party cookie named _ga to store the Client ID, but the cookie's name, domain, and expiration time can all be customized. Other cookies created by analytics.js include _gid, AMP_TOKEN and _gac_. These cookies store other randomly generated ids and campaign information about the user.
