Case Study: a major fintech company achieves secure cloud transformation and HITRUST certification with Coalfire Strategy+

Major Fintech Company strengthens cloud security with Coalfire's 4-phase Strategy+ program

A major fintech company in the healthcare payments space faced the challenge of elevating its security posture to stand out in a competitive market and assure customers following industry breaches. Under pressure from expanding attack surfaces and an aggressive M&A strategy, the company engaged Coalfire to help migrate to the cloud and achieve HITRUST CSF® certification, seeking a strategic, sustainable security program.

Coalfire implemented its Strategy+ program, which involved evaluating the company's security maturity across multiple domains and modeling a new cybersecurity strategy in four phases: Define, Align, Operationalize, and Measure. This approach integrated security and compliance into the initial design of their cloud platform. The results included a secure cloud migration, the use of security as a market differentiator, and the ability for all employees to articulate a consistent security message. Coalfire's solution bridged the gap between M&A disruption and a mature security program, allowing leadership to maintain dashboard oversight of their security posture with measurable metrics.
