Case Study: MEA Financial Enterprises achieves 33% faster security testing and stronger compliance with NowSecure Lab Workstation

Instilling Trust in Mobile Banking Apps, Maintaining ComPliance and Growing A Line of Business

MEA Financial is a national provider of mobile banking apps for more than 300 banks and credit unions, delivering over 11 million monthly app impressions. As usage grew, the team faced the dual challenge of maintaining customer trust and meeting strict regulatory requirements (FFIEC, SSAE 16 Type II) while keeping frequent app releases on a resource-constrained development schedule—manual, per-build security reviews were becoming impractical.

MEA integrated NowSecure’s Lab Workstation to run SAST and DAST on physical iOS and Android devices as part of their build/UAT pipeline. The solution plugged into existing workflows, caught low-to-high risk flaws ahead of release, and produced audit-ready reports—speeding security testing by about 33%, improving compliance evidence, and freeing the team to focus on product work while preserving customer trust.
