Client Background

A leading housing finance company operating under RBI and NHB regulatory frameworks engaged us to strengthen their security posture through continuous monitoring, regulatory-aligned testing, and real-world attack simulations.

Challenge

The organization required a secure on-premises SIEM setup with round-the-clock monitoring. They needed accurate investigation and triage of alerts, precise identification of true and false positives, and collaborative support during incident response. Additionally, the client sought full-scope offensive security services—including phishing assessments, breach simulations, red teaming, and VAPT—to validate the resilience of their applications, network, and physical environment.

Our Approach

We implemented a robust on-premises SIEM solution to centralize log visibility and strengthen threat detection capabilities. Our SOC team provided 24×7 monitoring, investigated all alerts in real time, and worked closely with the client on incident response activities. To evaluate the organization’s readiness against real-world threats, we conducted Phishing Simulations, Internal Network Breach Simulations (Assumed Breach), External Breach Simulations (Black Box), Physical Security Testing, and Purple Team (Red vs Blue Team) exercises to enhance both offensive and defensive security maturity. We also performed comprehensive Web, Mobile, and Infrastructure VAPT aligned with RBI, NHB, and CERT-In requirements. This ensured assessments met regulatory mandates while identifying risks that could impact financial operations and customer data security.

Key Findings

Multiple high-severity vulnerabilities were identified during the assessments, including Improper Access Control and OTP Bypass, both posing serious risks to sensitive financial workflows. These issues were promptly remediated through coordinated efforts with the client’s technical teams.

Outcome

With centralized SIEM visibility and continuous SOC monitoring, the finance company now detects threats faster and responds with improved efficiency. Regular breach simulations, red teaming, and regulatory-aligned VAPT have significantly strengthened their defensive posture and ensured compliance with industry expectations. We continue to provide 24×7 SOC services, enabling ongoing threat detection, rapid incident response, and sustained security maturity for this regulated financial institution.
