Case Study: Large Banking Group achieves centralized, agile IT compliance and traceability with MEGA International's HOPEX platform

An agile approach to better manage IT compliance regulations

A leading international banking group with several thousand IT staff needed a consistent, cost-effective way to manage regulatory compliance (GDPR, NYDFS, PCI‑DSS, CSP Swift, etc.) across its global application estate without disrupting business. Compliance had been tracked in Excel, causing poor traceability, data quality loss between divisions, and limited visibility for operational teams.

The bank implemented MEGA’s HOPEX platform (Integrated Risk Management and IT Portfolio Management) and worked with MEGA consultants on an agile MVP to integrate compliance into its existing enterprise architecture repository. Centralizing data in a single repository ended Excel-based processes, improved traceability and cross-functional knowledge, enabled GDPR assessments for hundreds of applications and scalability to assess thousands, and positioned the bank to automate compliance management and reduce costs.
