Case Study: an international bank creates a global security improvement roadmap with NCC Group's Cyber Security Review

a major international bank raises cyber maturity from 2.50 to 3.50 with NCC Group

The customer, an international bank, faced the challenge of kickstarting a global security improvement program across its operationally independent and linguistically diverse regions. The bank engaged NCC Group to conduct a Cyber Security Review (CSR) based on the NIST framework to establish a baseline understanding of its security posture and identify gaps.

NCC Group implemented a centrally managed yet locally staffed team to conduct the collaborative CSR assessment. The results quantified the bank's current cybersecurity maturity at 2.50, below its target of 3.50, and revealed significant regional variances across security functions. These findings directly enabled the bank to localize and prioritize initiatives for its global improvement plan, providing a crucial focus before its planned rollout.
