Case Study
Safeception in Banking
In a competitive, regulated market, adopting GRC for banks is essential to manage risks, ensure compliance, and drive operational efficiency. Robust risk management in banking enables financial institutions to stay ahead and thrive.
Regulatory Compliance and Data Management
The bank struggled with managing complex regulatory requirements such as GDPR, Basel III and PCI DSS, especially with fragmented systems like CRM and core banking platforms. This siloed approach made it challenging to maintain a unified risk view, increasing the potential for compliance lapses and hefty fines due to missed regulatory deadlines or data handling errors.
Cybersecurity and Operational Risks
With outdated legacy systems, the bank faced significant cybersecurity vulnerabilities. In 2022, several security incidents exposed sensitive customer information, underlining the need for robust protection. Frequent system outages also disrupted services, resulting in negative customer experiences and financial losses, which impacted the bank’s reputation and operational agility.
Inefficient Incident Response and Business Continuity
The bank’s slow incident response, compounded by a lack of real-time visibility into vulnerabilities, made it difficult to address threats promptly. With limited documentation on past incidents, identifying patterns or root causes was a struggle. Furthermore, the bank’s business continuity plan (BCP) lacked effective simulation tools, leaving it unprepared for disruptions, risking both financial losses and reputational damage in the event of service outages.
“Since adopting Safeception, our approach to business continuity has transformed. The platform has unveiled potential risks that were previously invisible, helping us better understand vulnerabilities across our operations. With Safeception’s organized, real-time data, we can quickly identify and resolve issues, minimizing downtime and ensuring rapid response to disruptions. It has truly revolutionized our risk management process, giving us the clarity and speed needed to protect our operations and maintain compliance.”
