Case Examples

Challenge:

A mid-sized U.S. bank needed to complete its SWIFT CSP attestation to meet requirements for peer institutions. Without a formal gap assessment or an internal project lead, the bank risked being cut off from correspondent wire transfers.

What We Did:

Managed the end-to-end readiness process, prepared control documentation and evidence, and acted as the primary interface with the independent assessor — allowing internal staff to stay focused on daily operations.

Outcome:

The bank completed a successful multi-year attestation and demonstrated a complete cybersecurity program to peer institutions — preserving its ability to exchange wires without disruption.

Challenge:

A U.S.-based automotive supplier with European operations failed its initial TISAX assessment, putting key business relationships at risk. The internal team lacked the time and expertise to interpret the report and implement required changes.

What We Did:

We reviewed the assessment findings and evaluated supporting documentation and controls. Then, we worked with internal teams to define priorities, close gaps, and formalize policies, procedures, and control implementation. We also supported re-assessment readiness and helped prepare communications for external stakeholders.

Outcome:

The supplier passed its follow-up TISAX assessment and retained preferred supplier status with its OEM partners.

Challenge:

A mid-sized U.S. bank received a regulatory finding for inconsistent third-party risk oversight and lacked the internal capacity to conduct vendor reviews or close the gaps before the regulator’s follow-up.

What We Did:

Conducted onsite third-party risk reviews, organized vendor documentation, and implemented a structured, risk-based review process. We worked side-by-side with client staff to ensure exam expectations were met and the process could be sustained internally.

Outcome:

The bank successfully closed the regulatory finding, regained examiner confidence, and now maintains a repeatable third-party review process — without adding staff or relying on a third-party platform.

Challenge:

A mid-sized regional bank was behind on validating remediation for known risks and vulnerabilities. With audit deadlines approaching and limited internal bandwidth, they needed hands-on support to review and confirm closure of outstanding items.

What We Did:

We provided a skilled cybersecurity risk analyst who integrated with the bank’s team. The analyst reviewed remediation evidence, updated risk tracking documentation, flagged incomplete actions, and supported internal audit reporting through to closure.

Outcome:

The bank eliminated its remediation backlog ahead of schedule, reduced audit risk, and strengthened its internal remediation process — all without adding permanent headcount.
