API Security & Integration

Principal workflows

• Design: Each API starts as a specification agreed with your architects and security team: what data it exposes, which systems it calls, who may use it and which policies apply.
• Build: Moraph builds the integration in Mule, connecting to core and mainframe interfaces such as message queues, transaction gateways and fixed-width files, and transforming their data into the agreed API format.
• Connect partners: Partners and internal apps get access only through a registered client application with approved scope, rather than shared credentials or direct connections to the core.
• Operate: Moraph monitors traffic, errors and latency on every API, triages alerts, and handles changes and runtime upgrades through a logged process.

Who uses it

• Integration and enterprise architecture teams at banks and credit unions
• Information security officers responsible for third-party and API access
• Digital banking and partnership teams onboarding fintech partners
• Core and mainframe application owners
• Internal audit and examiners reviewing third-party connectivity

Reporting

• Traffic, errors and response times by API and partner
• Partner access register for third-party review
• Security policy coverage and exceptions
• Load on core and mainframe systems
• Change and release history for auditors
• Monthly service review of Moraph's work

Features

• Managed API gateway: Every partner and channel call passes through Anypoint policies Moraph configures, rather than reaching core systems directly.
• Authentication policies: Anypoint enforces OAuth 2.0 tokens or client ID and secret on each API, validated against your identity provider where configured.
• Rate limiting and throttling: Limits per partner and per API protect core systems from more traffic than they can take.
• Threat protection: JSON and XML threat protection and IP allowlists applied to APIs according to their exposure.
• Mainframe and core connectivity: Integrations reach core and mainframe systems through the interfaces they already expose, such as IBM MQ, transaction gateways, databases and file transfers.
• Copybook data mapping: DataWeave maps COBOL copybook and fixed-width records to the JSON or XML your partners expect, and back.
• API catalog: Specifications, versions and documentation for every API kept in Anypoint Exchange, so teams reuse what exists.
• Partner access control: Each partner uses its own registered client application with approved scope, which can be suspended without affecting others.
• Monitoring and alerting: Traffic, error rates and response times per API and partner, with alerts that Moraph triages.
• Release pipeline: Changes are built, tested and promoted through environments with your approval before production.
• Layered API design: System, process and experience APIs keep core interfaces stable while partner-facing APIs change.
• Access and change records: Partner approvals, policy changes and releases recorded so you can show examiners who could reach what, and when it changed.

Integrations

• Core banking: Account, customer and transaction services through the interfaces your core exposes, such as APIs, databases, message queues or files.
• Mainframe applications: COBOL applications reached through IBM MQ, transaction gateways or file transfer, as your mainframe team allows.
• Fintech partners and digital channels: Partner apps, mobile and online banking call published APIs with their own registered credentials.
• Identity provider: Platform users sign in through your identity provider, and OAuth tokens can be issued and validated by your authorization server.
• Security monitoring: API logs and security events forwarded to your security information and event management tool.
• Secure file transfer: Batch files exchanged with partners where APIs are not suitable, including through Moraph's Secure File Transfer service.
• Service management: Incidents and change requests tracked in your service management tool or Moraph's service desk.

Deployment

• MuleSoft-hosted runtimes: Integrations run on MuleSoft's hosted runtime in the region your licence provides, operated by Moraph.
• Runtimes in your environment: Where data must stay in your data center or cloud account, runtimes run in your environment and Moraph operates them by agreement.
• Your existing licence: Where you already license MuleSoft, Moraph takes over build and operation, subject to the vendor's terms.

Security and privacy

• Single sign-on: Platform users sign in through your identity provider, so your password and multi-factor policies apply.
• Least-privilege partner access: Each partner has its own credentials and scope, approved by your security officer and reviewed periodically.
• Controlled administrator access: Moraph engineers use named accounts with role-based access, and production changes require your approval.
• Audit trail: Partner approvals, policy changes, deployments and administrator actions are logged with the person and time.
• Encryption and keys: Traffic is encrypted in transit, and configuration and service records Moraph holds are encrypted, with keys Moraph staff cannot use without explicit, time-bound authorization.
• Tested releases: Every integration change passes automated tests and a security review before release, under Moraph's SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001 audited controls.

Limitations

• Moraph is not the vendor. MuleSoft owns and operates the Anypoint Platform, and its own service commitments, roadmap and outages apply.
• Licences are subject to MuleSoft's terms, including capacity measures that may limit the number of integrations or the traffic they carry.
• Moraph does not change or operate your core or mainframe systems. Integrations use the interfaces your teams expose and are limited by their capacity.
• Decisions about which data is exposed and which partners may access it are your organization's, as is due diligence on each partner.
• The service is not a replacement for your web application firewall, network security or fraud controls.
• Moraph restores service on the integration layer; failures in core systems, networks or partner systems are resolved by their owners.
• Customer and regulator notifications after an incident remain your organization's responsibility.
• Platform features available depend on the MuleSoft edition and add-ons you license.
