Building Cyber Resilience for a Financial Technology Firm
Establishing a Strategic Cybersecurity Programme for a FinTech Innovator.
The Challenge: A rapidly growing FinTech company needed to mature its cybersecurity programme to meet stringent regulatory requirements and build trust with enterprise clients. Their existing security was reactive and lacked a strategic framework, creating significant business risk.
Our Approach in Action: Acting as their virtual CISO (vCISO), our team developed a comprehensive, multi-year cybersecurity strategy and roadmap. We implemented the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, created a full suite of custom security policies, and established an enterprise-wide cyber risk management programme. This was supported by technical initiatives, including penetration testing of their platform and hardening their cloud security posture in AWS.
The Outcome: The FinTech firm achieved ISO 27001 certification readiness within 12 months, unlocking access to new enterprise markets. The strategic programme provided the board with clear visibility into cyber risk and ensured that security investments were prioritised and aligned with the company's aggressive growth targets.
