Case Study: International Retail Bank achieves secure online banking launch with Commissum

International Retail Bank - Customer Case Study

International Retail Bank, the European division of one of the world’s largest retail banks, needed to launch a new state-of-the-art Internet Banking System under tight business timelines while meeting demanding security, compliance, and customer-confidence requirements. Commissum was brought in for independent information assurance and security testing to help ensure the online banking service could go live safely and on schedule.

Commissum delivered focused security design and analysis, pre-launch application security testing, pre- and post-go-live network penetration testing, and security reviews of critical backend systems and infrastructure. The work uncovered vulnerabilities in a commercial off-the-shelf application at the core of the solution, prompting immediate action from the third-party supplier, and Commissum helped the bank achieve a successful launch while continuing as a trusted security partner for ongoing assurance, incident forensics, and testing support.
