Enhancing Financial Services Security and Regulatory Compliance

Joel Lanz, CPA, P.C., is a Jericho-based risk management assurance and advisory firm that provides IT security, regulatory compliance and IT-audit services to financial institutions. Facing rising client demand for clear, actionable vulnerability assessments and the need to compete with larger firms, Lanz sought an easy-to-use, accurate way to discover network assets, identify vulnerabilities and deliver remediation-focused, comprehensible reports.

The firm adopted QualysGuard Consultant, an on-demand web-based vulnerability and asset-discovery platform, to map networks, detect misconfigurations and outdated patches, and generate customizable reports. The solution made assessments more cost-effective, improved clients’ security posture and compliance readiness, streamlined IT audits, and enabled Lanz to scale services and compete with larger IT consulting firms.
