Securing a Major Financial Institution

A leading regional bank with over $5 billion in assets approached Sallagha after a board mandate to strengthen their cybersecurity posture following increased regulatory scrutiny and evolving threat landscapes.

The Challenge

The institution was operating legacy systems alongside modern cloud infrastructure, creating a complex attack surface. They needed a comprehensive security assessment to identify vulnerabilities across their entire technology stack, including online banking platforms, internal networks, and third-party integrations.

Additionally, they required actionable remediation strategies that wouldn't disrupt critical banking operations or customer services. The assessment needed to align with PCI DSS, SOC 2, and banking regulatory requirements.

Our Approach

Sallagha deployed a multi-phase engagement combining automated scanning, manual penetration testing, and social engineering assessments:

1

Discovery and Reconnaissance

Mapped all internet-facing assets, conducted threat modeling, and identified critical business processes.

2

Comprehensive Testing

Performed external and internal network penetration testing, web application security testing, and wireless network assessment.

3

Social Engineering

Conducted phishing simulations and physical security assessments to evaluate human-layer vulnerabilities.

4

Remediation Support

Provided prioritized remediation roadmap with ongoing consultation during the 90-day remediation period.

Healthcare HIPAA Compliance

Healthcare Provider HIPAA Compliance Journey

A multi-facility healthcare network serving over 500,000 patients needed to achieve full HIPAA compliance while modernizing their IT infrastructure and improving patient care delivery systems.

Healthcare HIPAA Compliance

The Challenge

The healthcare network was expanding rapidly through acquisitions, resulting in disparate systems, inconsistent security practices, and significant HIPAA compliance gaps. They faced potential regulatory penalties and reputational damage if patient data was compromised.

The organization needed to implement comprehensive security controls, train staff across multiple locations, and establish ongoing compliance monitoring without disrupting patient care operations.

Our Approach

Sallagha implemented a comprehensive HIPAA compliance program:

1

Gap Assessment

Conducted thorough HIPAA Security Rule and Privacy Rule assessments across all facilities and systems.

2

Technical Safeguards Implementation

Deployed encryption, access controls, audit logging, and secure backup systems across the entire network.

3

Policy Development

Created comprehensive HIPAA policies, procedures, and incident response plans tailored to their operations.

4

Staff Training Program

Delivered role-based HIPAA training to over 2,000 employees and established ongoing awareness programs.

Results & Impact

The healthcare network achieved full HIPAA compliance within 6 months and successfully passed both internal audits and OCR compliance reviews. Patient data is now protected with enterprise-grade security controls, and the organization has established a culture of privacy and security awareness.

The organization has reported zero data breaches since implementation and has received recognition from industry peers for their comprehensive approach to healthcare data security.

E-commerce Incident Response

E-commerce Platform Rapid Breach Recovery

A rapidly growing e-commerce platform processing millions of transactions monthly discovered unauthorized access to their systems during peak holiday shopping season.

E-commerce Platform Security

The Challenge

The company detected suspicious activity suggesting a sophisticated breach during their busiest sales period. They needed immediate incident response to contain the threat, assess the damage, and restore operations while minimizing revenue impact and maintaining customer trust.

Time was critical—every hour of downtime meant hundreds of thousands in lost revenue, and any customer data exposure could result in regulatory penalties and permanent reputation damage.

Our Approach

Sallagha's incident response team deployed within 2 hours:

1

Immediate Containment

Isolated affected systems, blocked malicious traffic, and preserved forensic evidence for investigation.

2

Forensic Analysis

Conducted comprehensive digital forensics to determine breach vector, scope of compromise, and data accessed.

3

Eradication & Recovery

Removed attacker access, patched vulnerabilities, and restored clean operations with enhanced monitoring.

4

Post-Incident Hardening

Implemented advanced threat detection, improved access controls, and established 24/7 security monitoring.
