Case Study: GreenSky achieves 24x7 monitoring and rapid MDR onboarding with Expel

Fintech company extends its security team with Expel’s SOC-as-a-service and 24x7 monitoring

GreenSky, a fast-growing fintech that powers point-of-sale financing, needed to mature its security posture as it scaled ~30% year over year. The company sought 24x7 monitoring and a SOC-as-a-service/MDR partner that would integrate with its existing tools rather than require new appliances. GreenSky selected Expel for its native integrations and cloud expertise, engaging Expel’s SOC-as-a-service and managed detection and response capabilities.

Expel onboarded GreenSky the same day the contract was signed, connecting five security products with a single VM and enabling continuous 24x7 monitoring. Expel’s analysts now handle frontline alerting and provide regular reporting and recommendations via a dedicated Slack channel and monthly check-ins, freeing GreenSky’s security team to focus on higher-value work, improving detection and response times, and uncovering inefficiencies (for example identifying an underused paid feature) to increase visibility and cost-effectiveness.
