What is the Electronic Government Gateway (ШЭП / SmartBridge)?

ШЭП (Шлюз Электронного Правительства, Electronic Government Gateway) is Kazakhstan's national integration platform that gives commercial organisations access to government databases and services. SmartBridge is the technical component of ШЭП that handles SOAP/XML message exchange with digital signatures (ЭЦП). Connecting to ШЭП requires accreditation and technical integration with SOAP/XML protocols and the Kazakhstani digital-signature standard.

What is SmartConnect?

SmartConnect is an integration gateway that connects your enterprise REST/JSON APIs to Kazakhstan's government systems (Electronic Government Gateway, ШЭП/SmartBridge), banking ABIS (such as Colvir and ISNA), and other services. It handles format conversion, digital signing, retries, and observability for you.

How long does integration with the Electronic Government Gateway take?

With SmartConnect a typical integration takes 2–4 weeks instead of 6–12 months of in-house development. You call an ordinary REST/JSON API and the gateway does all the protocol work for ШЭП/SmartBridge.

Does SmartConnect support digital signatures (ЭЦП)?

Yes. SmartConnect performs digital-signature signing and validation using HashiCorp Vault for secure key storage, tracks certificate expiry, and ensures compliance with Kazakhstan's digital-signature standards.

Which systems can I connect to with SmartConnect?

The government ШЭП/SmartBridge gateway, banking ABIS systems (Colvir, ISNA), government services, and any system exposing REST/SOAP/XML interfaces.

How do banks integrate Colvir ABIS and ISNA via SmartConnect?

SmartConnect ships with pre-configured adapters for Colvir ABIS (banking core system) and ISNA (Integrated Tax Administration System). A bank deploys the SmartConnect container in its own infrastructure — the ready-made configuration covers typical interaction scenarios with these systems through ШЭП, without having to learn the underlying protocols.

How is guaranteed delivery ensured?

SmartConnect uses retries with exponential backoff, a dead-letter queue (DLQ), and idempotency keys, so no message is lost. Every operation is logged for observability.

Is SmartConnect secure and compliant?

Yes. SmartConnect uses secure channels, digital signatures, and key storage in HashiCorp Vault, with processes aligned to ISO 27001 practices. Customer secrets are never logged.
