NIS2 and a 24/7 SOC for a financial-sector group
How, in six months, we took an organisation from scattered security to full NIS2 compliance and round-the-clock monitoring.
Case study anonymised — at the client's request we do not reveal the name or any identifying data. The figures shown reflect the project's real results.
Scattered security and regulatory pressure
The organisation was growing faster than its security processes. The IT team was firefighting, there was no coherent visibility of events, and the looming NIS2 requirements meant real risk of penalties and management liability.
Starting point
- No round-the-clock monitoring or central log correlation.
- Incomplete documentation and outdated risk analysis.
- Long incident detection and response time.
- No preparation for NIS2 / KSC requirements.
Our approach step by step
Audit and gap analysis
We inventoried assets, audited against NIS2/KSC and set priorities according to real risk.
Roadmap to compliance
We prepared an action map with quick wins and long-term changes, a schedule and responsibilities.
Technology and process rollout
We launched event monitoring and correlation, backups, access control and a complete set of documentation.
24/7 SOC and training
We covered the organisation with round-the-clock monitoring and trained the teams and management.
What we deployed
Monitoring and XDR AI
Central event correlation and real-time anomaly detection, supported by R-SEC XDR AI automation.
NIS2 documentation
Policies, procedures, risk and incident registers and responsibility matrices — audit-ready.
Backups and continuity (BCP)
Tested backups and a business continuity plan limiting the impact of a potential outage.
Training and awareness
A training programme and phishing simulations building real team resilience.
Faster response
Reduced incident detection and handling time thanks to 24/7 monitoring and automation.
Less noise
Cutting false positives relieved the team and improved response effectiveness.
Compliance and peace of mind
Full documentation and readiness for NIS2 inspection, with a measurable reduction in risk.
From chaos to predictability
In six months the organisation moved from reactive firefighting to mature, measurable security. Management gained real visibility of risk, and the IT team gained tools and processes that work.
The cooperation continues in an ongoing-care model with round-the-clock monitoring.
“R-SEC didn't leave us with a report on a shelf. They saw the project through to the end — today we have 24/7 monitoring and peace of mind that we're ready for an inspection.”
