Enhancing Cybersecurity for a Top US Bank
Lockstock helped a leading US bank face the challenge of enhancing its cybersecurity infrastructure while adhering to stringent compliance requirements.
This project showcases our skill in providing top-notch cybersecurity solutions that fully comply with important industry rules, regulations, and standards. Our method not only keeps the client's digital information safe but also makes sure their business practices follow the latest cybersecurity rules. By doing so, we help protect our client from cyber threats and ensure their business operations can run smoothly and securely. Our work boosts their defense against cyber attacks and helps maintain their good name and ongoing business success in the digital world.
Our End Goals
The key goals of this project were to secure software application transitions from concept to production per compliance standards; manage the 'reportphish' email system in compliance with data protection laws; develop a system for third-party vendor threat intelligence in line with regulations; and monitor rogue applications to safeguard customer data and ensure compliance.
Our Approach
In our software application onboarding process, we ensured compliance with critical regulations such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), prioritizing the protection of customer financial information and secure transactions. This process was carefully aligned with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to manage risks comprehensively. For our Reportphish mailbox management, we adhered to stringent data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), to safeguard personal information in email communications. Additionally, our phishing trend analysis complied with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), ensuring our reports to leadership were both transparent and accurate.
To develop a data lake for threat intelligence, we followed the guidelines of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), maintaining the integrity and security of the data collected. Our methodology also aligned with the ISO/IEC 27001 standard, implementing best practices in information security management. For custom rogue application monitoring, we complied with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and the FFIEC IT Examination Handbook, focusing on consumer protection against fraudulent practices and emphasizing information security and risk management. This comprehensive approach to compliance and framework alignment demonstrates our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of cybersecurity and regulatory adherence.
The Outcome
Compliance with Key Regulations: We not only achieved compliance with a wide range of regulations including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines but also established a framework that ensures ongoing adherence. This comprehensive approach guarantees a high standard of data protection, financial security, and customer privacy, reflecting our commitment to regulatory excellence and safeguarding sensitive information.
Framework Adherence: Our processes are now fully aligned with leading standards such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework, ISO/IEC 27001 for information security management, and the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) guidelines. This successful alignment underscores our dedication to implementing robust information security and risk management practices. It not only enhances our security posture but also instills confidence among stakeholders about our capability to manage and mitigate risks effectively.
Enhanced Cybersecurity Posture: By adhering to these rigorous standards and regulations, we have significantly improved our cybersecurity measures. This enhancement effectively shields the bank's digital assets and customer information from a wide array of cyber threats. Our proactive approach to cybersecurity encompasses the adoption of advanced technologies, continuous monitoring, and regular updates to our security protocols. As a result, we have fortified our defenses, minimized vulnerabilities, and established a resilient cybersecurity infrastructure that stands as a bulwark against potential cyber-attacks.
