Elasticsearch for Sensitive Data (Bank Data)

Hi,

Can Elasticsearch can be used for the following use cases in Bank Scenario,

  1. Money Transactions.

  2. Handling Bank related information.

Please Explain why it can/cannot be used?

Thanks,
George

That'd be hard to answer as it'd depend on what laws are involved.

You will have to implement transactions by yourself, using the document
versioning of Elasticsearch.

Also you will have to take care for rounding in currency amounts.
BigDecimal is used for that but the Elasticsearch support for this data
type is not complete yet.

Guarding Elasticsearch from public access is taken for granted, you will
have to set up private subnets for your cluster and enforce security
policies to your data center.

Depending on the laws some data can't ever be sent in clear text and has to
live encrypted on the disk. Elasticsearch's intra-node protocol isn't
encrypted and it doesn't have an option to encrypt the data that it
writes. I imagine it could live just fine on an encrypted volume. I
dunno, I bet you could get it legal but it'd be a project.

Anyway, there are more issues then BigDecimal support, I think.

Can you give more details about what are the issues in ES in relation to
financial applications?

Do you think of audit trails? I forgot to mention, yes. That is an issue
which I want to address with a plugin that wraps the existing transport
layer.

Thanks,

Jörg
