Business leaders lost confidence in the organisation’s delivery quality and ability to protect its digital assets. Value: A long-standing relationship with Protiviti yielded significant improvements in the client’s cybersecurity capabilities, programme maturity, and risk mitigation. Critical outcomes included a 53% reduction in superfluous active directory (AD) groups and the standardisation of AD management tool kits, a reduction in phishing campaign testing click-through and compromise failures from 15% to 7%, and a risk indicator reduction of an average of 80%. Financial services firm gains greater control of global cybersecurity position Situation: The fast-track growth of an international financial services firm through numerous acquisitions led to security challenges. Value: We improved the client’s security posture through standardisation of patching and remediation—implemented across the enterprise—gaining real-time status on the environment. We enhanced the visibility of cybersecurity and data privacy risks across key business units. Protiviti helps financial services firm tighten cybersecurity and technology control Situation: A leading corporation in the financial services and insurance industry acquired several companies without conducting robust due diligence, neglecting to identify cyber risks and to strategise seamless integration with the existing IT infrastructure. Value: With enhanced cybersecurity metrics, the client increased its visibility of cybersecurity and data privacy risks to internal business partners for each targeted company acquisition. The client integrated enterprise security policies and standards into the vendor procurement process to mitigate third-party risks. Supporting and documenting cybersecurity strategies for an international bank Situation: An international bank wanted to define and document its three-year cyber security strategy.
