Financial Services

As customers increasingly request digital services, companies in the financial services industry struggle to maintain revenue targets while meeting strict compliance requirements. For financial services organizations, a regulatory audit failure can end business operations.

We can help you implement and maintain information security controls mapped to FFIEC requirements while reducing the administrative costs associated with annual internal and external audits.

Identify, Measure, and Mitigate Information Security Risks 

To pass their annual IT audit, financial services organizations must have comprehensive information security programs that identify, measure, mitigate, monitor, and report on cybersecurity-related risks. As IT environments become more complex, many companies struggle to find people with the required industry expertise to help them build a robust cybersecurity technology stack.

 

By partnering with Singular Security, you can build a customized security technology portfolio without increasing compliance costs. Pairing our vCISO solution with SingularREADY™, our end-to-end cybersecurity solution, you can implement required risk assessment and management practices, including:

Assess, Document, and Communicate Information Security Program Effectiveness  

As part of their audit process, regulators assess whether organizations regularly review their security programs’ effectiveness, including the context of the environment in which it operates. The company’s management must provide assurance over the system’s design and operation when determining whether the program mitigates risk as expected.
