Case Study - Fintech

A global fintech organization relied on an outsourced MSP that struggled with reliability, response times, and alignment to operational needs. Identity controls were inconsistent, the network was unreliable, onboarding was fragmented, and there was no internal IT team to support business requirements. The company needed strong leadership to reduce risk, mature security, and build an internal function capable of supporting the business.
