Case Study: a top nationwide lender strengthens data security with Elliott Davis

Top Nationwide Lender remediates PPP portal risk in under 24 hours with Elliott Davis

Elliott Davis was engaged by a top nationwide lender to address data security concerns. The customer needed to validate a prior cybersecurity assessment and, crucially, protect sensitive customer data received through its Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan portal, while assessing its overall security posture.

The solution from Elliott Davis involved external and internal penetration testing followed by a cybersecurity assessment. The external test immediately identified and helped remediate a critical PPP portal vulnerability in under 24 hours. The internal testing revealed severe risks, including access to a card issuance system. Elliott Davis provided a clear remediation path and a final assessment, giving the bank a thorough analysis of its cybersecurity posture and pinpointing risks across multiple systems.
