a large international financial services organization improves remediation speed and reduces risk with NCC Group

The customer, a large international financial services organization, faced the challenge of integrating security testing into its rapid development lifecycle for a vast portfolio of digital applications and APIs. Traditional periodic penetration testing was proving sub-optimal, and the high value of the financial data involved meant a breach could result in significant regulatory fines and reputational damage. They enlisted NCC Group for its integrated threat intelligence and security assurance services.

NCC Group embedded its consultants directly into the client's development processes, providing ongoing consultation, design reviews, and security assessments tailored to financial sector threats. This solution provided the client with greater visibility into vulnerabilities earlier in the development cycle, making remediation efforts more effective and significantly reducing overall risk. NCC Group's expertise enabled a rapid acceleration of the client's cybersecurity knowledge and a seamless transition to secure remote assessments during COVID-19.
