Use Case: Regulatory Compliance in Global Supply Chains

Overview

Cybervergent is a comprehensive solution designed to enhance security, compliance, risk, and privacy management for organizations.

With both on-premises and cloud capabilities, it seamlessly integrates with third-party APIs, platforms, and systems.

The Cybervergent Platform helps with data protection and governance to ensure that organizations meet global regulations while maintaining operational efficiency.

The Challenge

A major e-commerce retailer relies heavily on numerous third-party payment gateways, fraud detection tools, and logistics vendors to handle millions of transactions daily. This reliance introduced a massive, unmanaged risk surface, particularly concerning the handling of customer cardholder data and personally identifiable information (PII).

In the e-commerce sector, the entire business hinges on transaction security and customer trust. A single security lapse at a third-party payment processor could lead to a massive data breach, immediate revocation of the ability to process payments, multi-million dollar PCI DSS fines, and catastrophic reputational damage.

The firm's existing security program lacked the capability for continuous, real-time oversight of these mission-critical vendors, meaning security could degrade unnoticed, leaving customer financial data exposed to external threats.

The RPM Solution

Continuous Compliance Monitoring: RPM enables 24/7 monitoring of all third-party vendors for adherence to critical standards like PCI DSS, GDPR, and NDPA.

Real-Time Risk Indicators: The platform provides real-time alerts for policy violations, security misconfigurations, or risk indicators within third-party transaction systems.

Automated Risk Assessments: RPM automates vendor risk assessments to quickly identify and enforce security best practices across all partners handling customer financial data.

The Results

With Cybervergent RPM, the e-commerce retailer was able to transform its security posture. The platform provided continuous, auditable proof of third-party compliance with PCI DSS, ensuring the firm maintained its license to operate and protected its brand reputation. This proactive approach guaranteed secure transactions, eliminated exposure to major regulatory fines, and strengthened customer trust by ensuring the highest level of data protection across all vendor interfaces.
