Customer Overview
An Indian regional bank with annual revenue above $300M, offering microfinance and retail banking services to underserved communities. Ensuring regulatory adherence and safeguarding customer assets is crucial for building trust and fueling inclusive growth.
Challenges & Objectives
Rapid business expansion outpaced the capacity of their security and technology infrastructure, heightening risks amid tighter central banking regulations. The bank needed an in-depth review of its multi-cloud environment (AWS, OCI) and a strategic approach to implementing risk mitigation measures. Addressing these challenges was vital to maintaining regulatory compliance, protecting customer assets, and supporting continued growth.
Solutions & Approach
SecnSure performed a comprehensive Cloud Security Posture Assessment (CSPA) across AWS and OCI, evaluating everything from perimeter defenses and identity and access controls to threat detection and logging. Guided by cSTAR and CIS frameworks, the assessment pinpointed critical gaps, which were then prioritized for swift remediation. Partnering closely with the bank’s CloudOps teams, SecnSure established a roadmap outlining short-, medium-, and long-term actions. This holistic strategy bolstered compliance, shielded customer assets, and laid a resilient foundation for the bank’s continued growth in an increasingly dynamic financial sector.
Value Delivered
A focused Cloud Security Posture Assessment (CSPA) and risk mitigation roadmap in AWS and OCI environments reduced non-compliance risks by 40% and decreased security alert fatigue by 30%. The improved posture also contributed to a faster onboarding of new financial products, expanding outreach to underserved communities. By establishing a clear hierarchy of remediation priorities, the bank gained executive buy-in for ongoing security investments. This proactive stance laid the groundwork for continued growth under stringent regulatory scrutiny.
“Our cloud environment is now a strategic enabler, not a bottleneck,” remarked the CTO.
