Total Infrastructure Assurance.
I8is Guardian is the managed middleware protocol that secures, cleans, and optimizes the data flowing into your recurring application. We intercept threats and logic errors before they reach your core database.
ABOUT i8is GUARDIAN
Build Stronger Infrastructure — Without Rewriting Your App
i8is Guardian is a managed middleware protocol that sits between your application and third-party services (like payments, CRMs, or webhooks). It intercepts risky traffic, validates authenticity, sanitizes payloads, and enforces safe delivery rules—so threats and bad data don’t reach your core systems. Add protection, reliability, and observability in days, not months.
Services
What we provide beyond security
A complete middleware layer for validation, sanitization, throttling, and auditability
The Air-Gap Firewall
We provide an isolation layer between your application and external payment gateways. Malformed requests, DDoS attempts, and unauthorized webhooks are blocked at our perimeter, ensuring your server resources are never wasted on malicious traffic.
Payload Sanitization
External APIs are messy. We fix them. I8is Guardian normalizes dates, currencies, and string formats into a strict schema. Your developers stop writing 'cleanup' code and start receiving perfect, type-safe JSON payloads every time.
Smart-Queue Throttling
Never crash during a launch. Our middleware acts as a pressure valve, buffering high-volume events (like thousands of simultaneous renewals) and feeding them to your database at a rate it can handle. We guarantee 100% event delivery, even during downtime.
Duration & Perks
Transaction Ledgering
We keep a forensic log of every handshake. If a user claims they paid but your app says they didn’t, I8is Guardian provides the exact timestamp, webhook ID, and response code to resolve the dispute instantly
The Process
How It Works
Security and reliability, built into the data path—step by step.
Intercept:
We catch the raw data from Stripe, PayPal, or 3rd party APIs.
Verify:
We cryptographically sign and validate the source.
Sanitize:
We strip unnecessary data and reformat the payload.
Inject:
We securely push the clean logic into your specific tech stack.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
i8is Guardian is a managed middleware layer that protects and optimizes the data flowing from third-party services into your application. It intercepts requests, verifies sources, sanitizes payloads, and injects clean, validated data into your stack.
It helps prevent security incidents (spoofed webhooks, malicious requests), data issues (broken schemas, unexpected payloads), and reliability failures (traffic spikes, queue floods, duplicate events) that can crash services or corrupt records.
Intercept: Capture inbound traffic from providers (Stripe/PayPal/webhooks/APIs).
Verify: Validate signatures, tokens, origins, and integrity checks.
Sanitize: Clean and normalize fields into a safe schema.
Inject: Deliver to your app through a controlled channel (queue, API, or connector).
Usually minimal. You’ll update endpoints/credentials (or webhook destinations) to route through Guardian, then choose how you want clean events delivered (direct, queue, or connector-based).
Guardian is designed to reduce load, not add it—by filtering bad traffic early, throttling bursts, and preventing costly downstream failures. You can also configure delivery modes (async queues vs direct) based on performance needs.
Guardian works with common web stacks and databases. You can select your Target Application Type and Primary Database in the audit form so we recommend the best integration path for your environment.
