FinTech
VAPTCybersecurity Audit & Risk Assessment

How a Growing Fintech Company Reduced Security Incidents by 73%

Client Profile

A growing fintech company processing digital payments, with a distributed team across multiple offices.

The Challenge

Rapid growth led to an expanded attack surface. The company suffered multiple security incidents over a 6-month period, including a targeted phishing campaign that compromised employee credentials. They needed PCI DSS compliance to continue card processing operations.

CycloudForte's Approach

CycloudForte conducted a comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Test (VAPT) across web applications, APIs, and mobile platforms. A full cybersecurity audit was performed against PCI DSS and NDPR frameworks, identifying 47 vulnerabilities — 12 of which were critical. A prioritized remediation roadmap was created and the team worked alongside the client to ensure swift resolution.

Key Deliverables

  • VAPT report with proof-of-concept demonstrations
  • Enterprise risk register
  • PCI DSS gap analysis
  • Prioritized remediation roadmap
  • Re-test validation report

Healthcare
Data Privacy & ProtectionSecurity Awareness Training

Securing Patient Data for a Healthcare Provider

Client Profile

A healthcare provider operating multiple clinics, managing patient records digitally across locations.

The Challenge

Transitioning from paper-based to digital records exposed sensitive patient data to new threat vectors. The organization needed NDPR compliance and had no security awareness training in place for staff — a significant risk given the sensitivity of health data.

CycloudForte's Approach

CycloudForte conducted data discovery and classification across all systems, followed by a privacy impact assessment. A comprehensive staff training program was designed and delivered, including realistic phishing simulations. Data protection policies and granular access controls were implemented across the network.

Key Deliverables

  • Data inventory and classification report
  • Privacy impact assessment
  • NDPR compliance gap analysis
  • Training curriculum and materials
  • Data protection policy suite
  • Phishing simulation results and analysis

AI Security & Governance

AI Governance Framework for a Mid-Size Financial Services Firm

Client Profile

A mid-size financial services firm deploying AI for fraud detection, credit scoring, and customer service automation.

The Challenge

Rapid AI deployment without governance created regulatory risk. There were concerns about model bias in credit scoring, and no established framework for responsible AI use — putting the firm at odds with emerging regulatory guidelines.

CycloudForte's Approach

CycloudForte conducted AI asset discovery across business units, followed by threat modeling using the OWASP ML Top 10 framework. The team assessed model security and data pipeline integrity, designed a comprehensive AI governance framework, and established ongoing monitoring and compliance processes.

Key Deliverables

  • AI asset inventory
  • AI threat model
  • Security assessment for AI systems
  • AI governance policy framework
  • Responsible AI guidelines
  • Monitoring and compliance playbook
