Case Study: ABLV Bank achieves stronger information security and regulatory compliance with Qualys

ABLV Bank Strengthens Information Security and Regulatory Compliance

ABLV Bank, Latvia’s largest private bank with over 850 employees and billions in client assets, faced the dual challenge of protecting critical systems and sensitive customer data while meeting strict local and EU regulations (including GDPR and PCI DSS). The bank needed continuous, precise visibility across its physical and virtual IT estate to identify, prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities and configuration issues before they could be exploited.

ABLV deployed the Qualys Cloud Platform—Vulnerability Management, Policy Compliance and PCI Compliance—to run automated scans and monitor servers, desktops and payment services. The solution provided clear, real‑time visibility, faster remediation, simplified audits and regulatory reporting, and reduced the IT security team’s workload, strengthening the bank’s overall security and compliance posture.
