The Challenge

Flat network architecture, fragmented identity and reactive detection left the bank exposed to lateral movement and unable to satisfy converging regulatory expectations across NYDFS 500, DORA and internal audit.

Our Approach

How we delivered.

  1. Step 01

    Designed an identity-first Zero Trust target architecture aligned to CISA ZTMM and NIST 800-207.

  2. Step 02

    Modernized IAM and PAM with phishing-resistant MFA, just-in-time access and session monitoring.

  3. Step 03

    Implemented micro-segmentation across hybrid environments anchored by workload identity.

  4. Step 04

    Deployed XDR + SOAR with high-fidelity detection content and automated containment playbooks.

  5. Step 05

    Established continuous control validation tied to regulatory mappings for evidence on demand.
