Company Overview

ConsultEdge.Global partnered with a leading commercial bank in India to modernize its cloud security operations by implementing a centralized 24/7 Managed Security Operations Center (SOC) on AWS.

Operating a large-scale AWS environment across multiple regions, the bank required continuous threat monitoring, automated incident response, and compliance automation to meet the stringent requirements of PCI DSS v4.0, the RBI IT Framework, and CERT-In while protecting mission-critical banking applications.

  • Reduce incident response time for critical security events.
  • Achieve PCI DSS v4.0 compliance.
  • Automate regulatory evidence collection.
  • Meet CERT-In mandatory breach notification requirements.
  • Improve organization-wide security visibility.
  • Automate security remediation across AWS workloads.
