Managing the end-to-end cybersecurity program for a digital marketing company

Client Background:
A leading digital marketing services provider was experiencing rapid growth, particularly by onboarding several high-profile banking and financial services clients. As part of their vendor due diligence, these clients demanded a higher level of cybersecurity maturity to mitigate third-party risks. This created an urgent need for the company to strengthen its security posture and meet industry-recognized standards.

The Challenge:
The client lacked a comprehensive cybersecurity framework and internal expertise to build a robust program aligned with evolving customer expectations. They needed to quickly establish credibility, implement foundational security controls, and gain ISO 27001 certification—all while continuing to scale their business.

Scybers’ Approach:
The client engaged Scybers to design and deliver a complete, end-to-end cybersecurity transformation. Our team began with a deep-dive assessment of their current security posture, identifying key risks, gaps, and areas of improvement. We collaborated with the client’s executive team to develop a tailored cybersecurity roadmap aligned with both their growth plans and the compliance expectations of their banking clients.

Key Actions Taken:

• Appointed a field CISO from Scybers to lead the security transformation in close coordination with the client's leadership.
• Established a joint security team, combining Scybers’ experts and client stakeholders to ensure seamless execution.
• Developed and implemented security policies, processes, and technology platforms, aligned with ISO 27001 standards.
• Guided the organization through a successful ISO 27001 certification, significantly elevating their credibility with current and prospective banking customers.

Ongoing Partnership:
Upon successful implementation of the foundational program, the client retained Scybers to provide ongoing managed security services. Today, we operate as their extended cybersecurity team, delivering:

• 24x7 Managed SOC services, leveraging cutting-edge threat detection and response capabilities.
• Continuous threat monitoring, incident response, and platform management.
• Proactive security testing, including attack simulations and penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
• Executive-level reporting and strategy sessions, ensuring that security continues to scale with the business.

Outcome:
With Scybers as a long-term partner, the client has not only enhanced their cybersecurity maturity but also strengthened trust with regulated financial institutions. Our partnership enables them to scale confidently, knowing their security posture meets the expectations of even the most risk-conscious customers.
