Application infrastructure for maintaining production and non-production environments using a segregated schema

A file decryption method comprising:

• receiving an encrypted file from an external vendor, the encrypted file including one or more individual records;
• loading the encrypted file to a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) drive;
• accessing the encrypted file, by an application server, using at least one authentication credential;
• decrypting the encrypted file, by a Linux based Cron job, using at least one certificate;
• transferring the decrypted file to a specified folder to be accessed by a file listener application;
• accessing the decrypted file, by the file listener application, to parse the one or more individual records of the decrypted file;
• performing validation on the parsed one or more individual records;
• for each of the parsed one or more individual records, transferring the individual record to a securely connected system for further processing, in response to a successful validation;
• generating a report indicative of processing of the decrypted file;
• and
• deleting the decrypted file to avoid a security breach regarding the one or more individual records of the decrypted file.
