Client

The client is a leading commercial bank in Sri Lanka, offering a wide range of financial products and services. With a strong national footprint and digital banking presence, the client is known for providing secure and seamless banking experiences.

Challenge

The client faced several security and compliance-related challenges that needed immediate attention.
1

The absence of routine security testing exposed the platform to undetected vulnerabilities, risking potential breaches that could compromise customer data and financial trust.

2

Without compliance validation against OWASP 2013, the application lacked assurance against industry-standard threats, leaving the bank exposed to penalties and reputational damage.

3

The lack of structured vulnerability assessment, risk classification, and remediation planning limited the bank’s ability to prioritize threats, delaying response times and increasing the potential cost of cyber incidents.

Solution

This organization faced significant challenges when they realized their systems were vulnerable to potential threats, which could lead to costly breaches and disruptions in service. To overcome these hurdles, the company turned to Bahwan CyberTek for a comprehensive solution that would not only protect its assets but also ensure continuity and trust with their customers. The first step was to deeply understand the security needs of the organization and then implement a well-structured and robust plan to test and enhance the security measures in place.
Here's how Bahwan CyberTek tackled the challenge:
1

Comprehensive Evaluation: Bahwan CyberTek began by creating detailed scenarios to assess the overall strength of the application. It was examined to ensure that the systems were not only secure but also resilient against a variety of threats.

2

Extensive Testing: Bahwan CyberTek combined both hands-on evaluations and automated processes to identify weak spots. This ensured that the testing covered all potential vulnerabilities, no matter how small or hidden.

3

Actionable Insights: After the evaluation, Bahwan CyberTek compiled an in-depth report highlighting the vulnerabilities, along with a clear explanation of how these issues could affect the business. The report was designed to be actionable, offering the organization not just a list of problems, but also practical steps to take to mitigate risks.

4

Strategic Recommendations: After identifying the issues, Bahwan CyberTek also provided detailed, tailored advice on how the organization could strengthen its security posture moving forward. The recommendations were specific, addressing both the technical details and the broader business impact.

This approach allowed the organization to significantly reduce its security risks, ensuring that it could continue to serve without disruption, and protect its valuable data assets.

Impact

By partnering with Bahwan CyberTek, the client transformed a fragmented and reactive security approach into a proactive strategy that delivered tangible business outcomes. Each layer of the security program was designed not just to fix issues, but to unlock long-term value across operations, compliance, and customer trust.

3

Tighter Application Security, Elevated Customer Confidence: Strengthening the security of digital touchpoints improved user trust, reduced customer churn, and reinforced the brand’s reputation in a highly competitive financial services landscape.

4

Detailed Risk Insights, Smarter Investments and Lower Costs: The delivery of actionable insights not only improved compliance but also guided strategic security investments, minimizing the likelihood of future incidents and reducing long-term operational expenses.
