Case Study: Large International Financial Services Organization achieves accelerated security integration and earlier vulnerability detection with NCC Group

Providing Cyber Security Knowledge to an International Financial Services Organization

Large International Financial Services Organization, which operates a broad portfolio of customer-facing banking applications and financially related APIs, needed to integrate security testing throughout a fast-moving development lifecycle to protect high-value customer data and avoid regulatory fines and reputational damage. The organization engaged NCC Group to deliver Cyber Security Reviews (CSR) across all regions, leveraging the NIST Cyber Security Framework.

NCC Group deployed a centrally managed, locally staffed global team embedded into development teams to review designs and architecture, assess and obfuscate implementations to surface vulnerabilities, consult with developers, capture security requirements, and perform assurance and penetration testing. As a result, NCC Group delivered earlier visibility of security issues, faster and more effective remediation, a rapid uplift in security knowledge across teams, and a significant reduction in overall risk to the organization’s brand, clients and regulatory exposure.
