Provident Credit Union, a financial institution serving over 125,000 members in the San Francisco Bay Area, was facing a significant challenge in managing the security of their mobile and web banking applications. These applications were managed by third-party vendors, and while these vendors provided annual audit material and were available for internal and external audits, Provident felt the need to enhance the security measures. Being located in Silicon Valley, Provident's user base comprised some of the most technically-advanced consumers who demanded top-notch security. Provident needed a method to validate the security of their third-party vendor applications and add an additional layer of security with continuous scanning of their mobile and web banking applications. They also wanted to integrate security reviews as part of their application deployment process. Prior to implementing Data Theorem’s solution, Provident relied on the same third-party vendor for security application, maintenance, and ongoing improvement to protect their members' data and personal financial information.
Data Theorem provided the tools needed to tackle any kind of AppSec compliance challenge that Provident was facing. The solution offered continuous scanning of mobile and web banking applications and integrated security reviews as part of the application deployment process. It also provided reporting capabilities to internal and external auditors, tracking the number of issues, the prioritization of alerts, resolution of issues, and the time taken for resolution. This partnership with Data Theorem gave Provident the assurance of having security experts to help mitigate risk, decrease stress on staff, and streamline operations. The solution also provided Slack integration and alerts, along with secure code fixes, making it easier for the data science and development team to handle quickly.
