The Situation
The payments firm had grown faster than its security operating model. Asset ownership was unclear and critical exposures were buried under routine scanner noise.
What Made The Situation Difficult.
Rapid product launches had added new cloud accounts, APIs and vendors every quarter. Each team ran its own scanners, so the same weakness appeared in several reports with different severity scores. Security leads spent most of their week reconciling spreadsheets instead of fixing issues, and executives had no reliable way to see whether real risk was going up or down.
1. Scattered findings
Vulnerability data lived in four tools with no shared risk score.
2. Missing asset owners
Many exposed services had no team accountable for fixing them.
3. Audit pressure
Payment regulators expected clear proof of ongoing remediation.
A phased plan instead of a giant transformation.
Instead of replacing every tool at once, Cybevra built one prioritized exposure backlog. Findings were merged, ranked by business impact and routed to named owners with clear service levels, so the riskiest gaps closed first.
01. Map the attack surface
Inventoried cloud accounts, public APIs and third-party connections, then linked every asset to an accountable owner and business service so no exposed system was ever left without a clear, named team to fix it.
02. Rank real exposure
Combined exploitability, asset value and threat intelligence into one score so teams fixed the issues attackers were most likely to use first, instead of chasing every low-impact finding in the scanner reports.
03. Track remediation weekly
Introduced weekly risk reviews and dashboards that showed leadership how critical exposure dropped as each fix was verified and closed, giving the board clear and simple proof of real progress every single month.
