1. Overview
A financial institution operating transaction systems and customer data management platforms requires the highest level of security and compliance.
To meet international standards such as PCI DSS, ISO/IEC 27001, and GDPR, the company needed a Security Compliance Monitoring System capable of early threat detection, automated response, and full log recording for audit purposes.
After evaluating multiple technology partners, the enterprise selected BAP to develop an integrated System Operations & Maintenance solution combining Security Automation and DevSecOps practices.
2. Challenges
The financial enterprise operated a large-scale infrastructure with hundreds of servers, trading applications, and APIs connected to both domestic and international partners.
Key challenges included:
Strict adherence to global security standards and data compliance regulations.
Difficulty in detecting Advanced Threats (APT) due to massive log and data volume.
Lack of automation in compliance checks, resulting in time-consuming manual audits.
Manual incident response causing delays in addressing security risks.
Thus, the company needed a centralized, automated, and compliant monitoring platform that ensured absolute security and enhanced incident responsiveness.
3. Solution
The BAP System Operations & Maintenance team implemented a Security Compliance Monitoring Platform with key features:
Proactive Security Monitoring: Integrated SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) and Machine Learning for real-time anomaly detection.
Automated Compliance Checking: Built a DevSecOps pipeline incorporating configuration, source code, and system log scanning aligned with PCI DSS/ISO 27001 standards.
Incident Response Automation: Automatically triggers isolation, remediation, and recovery workflows upon risk detection.
Audit & Reporting Dashboard: Generates detailed reports aligned with compliance standards for easy internal audits.
24/7 Operations Model: BAP’s security engineers continuously monitor systems and provide round-the-clock support.
