Regulators, clients, and underwriters expect demonstrated cyber resilience. We test your ability to protect customer data, maintain operations, and meet notification requirements under realistic conditions.
Exercises designed for the regulatory complexity and business continuity demands of financial services — where incidents have financial, reputational, and compliance consequences simultaneously.
Faster regulatory notification decisions in breach scenarios
Regulatory examination exercise evidence requirements met
Improvement in executive crisis communication readiness
From exercise to updated third-party risk response procedures
Why insurance & financial services organizations are investing in structured exercise programs.
NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulation, SEC cyber disclosure rules, state insurance commissioners, FFIEC guidance — financial services organizations face overlapping regulatory requirements for incident response testing.
Financial services depends on interconnected vendor ecosystems. When a critical third party is compromised, your incident response plan needs to account for systems you don't control.
Attackers target financial institutions for the value of customer data — policy details, financial records, Social Security numbers. Breach notification timelines and regulatory reporting are immediate obligations.
Clients, regulators, and partners expect financial services firms to maintain operations during cyber incidents. Downtime tolerance is near zero, and the reputational impact of service disruption is severe.
Real adversary tactics we test against in every engagement.
Double-extortion ransomware targeting policyholder data, financial records, and operational systems. Tests your containment, notification, and recovery decisions.
Compromised vendor, payment processor, or cloud service provider — testing your response when critical systems are outside your control.
Sophisticated email fraud targeting finance, executive, or client-facing teams — wire transfer fraud, account takeover, and impersonation attacks.
Employee or contractor data theft, unauthorized access to client accounts, or abuse of privileged access to financial systems.
Attacks timed to coincide with audit periods, regulatory filings, or market events — maximizing pressure and reducing response options.
Compromised financial software, trading platforms, or integration middleware — testing your ability to detect and respond to trusted software attacks.
Custom-designed for insurance & financial services environments. Every scenario is MITRE ATT&CK-mapped.
