The Challenge
A regional bank with $4.2B in assets faced increasing regulatory pressure after a near-miss security incident exposed vulnerabilities in their flat network architecture. Their perimeter-based security model was obsolete against modern threat actors, and an upcoming regulatory audit threatened significant penalties.
Our Approach
We designed and implemented a complete Zero Trust Network Architecture (ZTNA) from the ground up — eliminating implicit trust and requiring continuous verification for every user and device. This included microsegmentation of all network zones, privileged identity management (PIM), and implementation of a full SIEM stack with 24/7 SOC monitoring.
The Impact
The bank not only passed its regulatory audit with zero findings but also used its new security posture as a competitive differentiator in enterprise client acquisition. The Zero Trust model dramatically reduced the blast radius of any potential future breach, protecting both assets and reputation.
Project Timeline
Security Posture Assessment
60-day engagement covering penetration testing, threat modeling, and full gap analysis against SOC2, PCI-DSS, and OSFI regulatory frameworks.
Zero Trust Architecture Design
Designed the ZTNA blueprint covering identity, device, network, application, and data layers. Mapped all privileged access paths and designed microsegmentation zones.
SOC Deployment & Audit Prep
Deployed full SIEM platform, 24/7 SOC monitoring, and automated compliance evidence collection. Passed external regulatory audit with zero findings.
"Our regulators were impressed. Our board was relieved. Stigma Technologies delivered a security transformation that would have taken us years to accomplish alone."
