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.
Cybervergent helps with data protection and governance to ensure that organizations meet global regulations while maintaining operational efficiency.
The Challenge
A major financial services provider operating across multiple African countries faced significant challenges managing compliance across its fragmented cloud environments (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and legacy on-premise systems.
The security and compliance teams were struggling with the manual correlation of controls across these unique platforms. This created time-consuming compliance reporting for multiple, overlapping regulatory frameworks like PCI DSS, NDPA, and ISO27001.
This lack of a unified system resulted in inconsistent security posture visibility and made it extremely difficult to demonstrate compliance to auditors with proper documentation. The organization was exposed to significant regulatory risk and high operational inefficiency.
The Multi-Cloud Solution
The Cybervergent Risk Posture Management (RPM) solution was implemented to provide end-to-end oversight of the insurer's entire third-party ecosystem. It provides:
Unified Cloud & On-Premise Integration: Connect AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and on-premise systems to establish centralized visibility of all digital assets and implement automated controls assessment.
AI-Powered Compliance Management: Leverage the "Assist" feature to automatically gather uploaded compliance artefacts and use the "Assess" function to cross-assess controls across multiple frameworks.
Automated Documentation & Governance: Deploy Artefact Management for centralized policy and documentation storage, and implement version control and approval workflows for compliance documents.
The Results
By implementing the Cybervergent platform, the financial services provider achieved consolidated compliance visibility across its entire multi-cloud and on-premise ecosystem. This transformation led to a 50% reduction in the time spent preparing for compliance audits. Furthermore, the automated generation of audit-ready documentation and continuous monitoring led to a 70% decrease in compliance gaps, thus securing the firm's regulatory standing across all its countries of operation.
