Case Study: Non-Profit Financial Institution achieves continuous, low-cost cyber readiness and stronger data protection with AttackIQ BAS

Non-Profit Financial Institution Company - Customer Case Study

Non-Profit Financial Institution Company, a long‑standing nonprofit that manages privacy data for over 1.5 million U.S. citizens, faced increasing targeted threats and the need to validate its security controls and readiness for third‑party red‑team assessments. After evaluating options and adopting the MITRE ATT&CK framework, the organization selected AttackIQ’s breach and attack simulation (BAS) platform to automate testing, measure control effectiveness, and do so with minimal overhead.

AttackIQ deployed an agent‑based, SaaS BAS solution and a broad scenario library to simulate full Kill Chain attacks in both test and live production environments, enabling rapid, out‑of‑the‑box validation of controls (credential caching, email/web/DNS exfiltration, etc.). The platform delivered continuous validation at low cost, helped identify and remediate gaps (including endpoint logging issues and SMBv1 exposure), improved MSSP and incident‑response assurance, and contributed to a third‑party penetration test finding of “excellent security practices.”
