Case Study: Saffron Building Society achieves audit-ready cyber resilience and continuous control validation with Cymulate

Saffron Building Society Proves Cyber Resilience for External Audits & Internal Governance with Cymulate

Saffron Building Society, a dual-regulated UK financial services firm with a small information security team, needed a simple, data-driven way to prove cyber resilience for external audits and internal governance. Faced with requirements to assess emergent threats, continuously validate controls, and provide monthly metrics to executives, the Society selected the Cymulate platform (including Breach and Attack Simulation, Continuous Automated Red Teaming, and Attack Surface Management) to automate validation and produce audit-ready evidence.

Cymulate delivered immediate threat assessments from its Research Lab, continuous control validation with on-demand retesting, and prioritized remediation guidance, enabling Saffron Building Society to prove compliance to regulators, increase the security team’s efficiency, and continuously validate its security posture. The Cymulate platform’s dashboards and metrics give auditors and executives clear evidence of control performance, faster response to new threats, and the ability to prioritize exploitable vulnerabilities without costly manual re-tests.
