A global credit bureau secures credit scores

Service

HIGHLIGHTS

A credit bureau, with operations in 45 countries, wanted to protect its customers’ credit scores from cybercriminals.
We built systemic security controls with high encryption standards to prevent data theft and misuse.
Ethical hacking preempts intrusions and empowers IT to process and store credit scores safely.

Challenge

For one of the leading credit score processing companies in the world, securing sensitive financial data of its customers is of paramount importance.

The company is focused on helping its customers know their borrowing capacity and connects them to the right businesses and lenders.

As the financial services sector is vulnerable to cyber fraud, a secure data processing environment to prevent data and identity theft is a business necessity for the bureau. A data breach could lead to hefty non-compliance penalty, besides causing customer churn and impacting the bottom line.

SOLUTION

The credit rating bureau partnered with TCS to build an end-to-end security solution to proactively secure its financial applications, databases, employee access, and IT.

The client was using diverse security applications and protocols inherited from multiple mergers and acquisitions. We adopted ethical hacking to accurately determine security risks in this complex IT landscape—which includes on-prem servers and cloud.

Based on this analysis, we developed a solution to encrypt credit scores and reports. The solution also continuously monitors for threats, identifies potential vulnerabilities, and secures employees’ devices that access customer data. Armed with actionable security insights, the credit bureau is always one step ahead of hackers.

TCS strategized a data and cloud security management system to reduce the attack surface.

BENEFITS

The security solution, built on the tenets of superior data encryption, automatic threat detection and response, empowers the client to defend strongly against malicious cyber-attacks.

By establishing an analytics-led security culture, we could help the client roll out a robust data protection strategy to safeguard its data, networks, cloud, and security layers.

Our simplified processes and well-defined security controls improve threat detection and response. Ethical hacking keeps the client’s financial data secure and immutable and helps them confidently serve customers.
