API, Integration & Event Platform
API gateway, iPaaS, event bus, connectors and EDI on one sovereign runtime.
iShield Link delivers the full integration stack: full-lifecycle API Management, low-code iPaaS, Kafka-compatible event streaming, 200+ pre-built connectors, and B2B EDI — all under one identity, audit and residency plane.
Core capabilities
API lifecycle
Design, secure, publish, monetize APIs with mTLS, OAuth, rate limits.
Low-code iPaaS
Visual flows with versioning, environments, CI/CD.
Event streaming
Topics, schemas, replay windows, exactly-once semantics.
EDI & partner onboarding
EDIFACT, X12, AS2, SFTP, PEPPOL with reconciliation.
Modules included across iShield
This solution is not a single module — it composes capabilities from across Nexus, Connect, One, Link and iShieldGRC to deliver the outcome.
API, iPaaS, event and EDI sound like four products because most vendors sell them that way. Run on one runtime with one identity, audit and residency plane and the per-tool integration tax disappears.
Reference data flow across iShield
A single record moves across iShield Nexus, Link, One and Connect — with GRC evidence captured at every step.
AI agents enrich, score and route the record under residency, PII and approval guardrails.
Outcome, SLA and KPI are written back so dashboards and reporting reflect closed-loop reality.
Regulatory & framework coverage
Out-of-the-box control mappings managed by the iShield Nexus Risk & Compliance (GRC) module.
Personas served
Pre-built integrations

How iShield wins this category
Sovereign-cloud deployment in KSA and UAE with NCA-aligned key custody — no Azure-region workaround required.
Workflow-first composable model — no multi-year re-implementation to change a process.
One platform across CRM, ITSM, GRC and ERP — no per-cloud licensing stack.
iShield Link enforces residency, PII and consent across products so guardrails are systemic, not per-tool.
