Enterprise security operations for a pharmaceutical manufacturer in under 12 weeks
A leading pharmaceutical contract manufacturing organisation
The challenge
What the client was trying to solve
Repeated security incidents were causing financial and reputational damage, with no continuous monitoring or response in place.
The business problem
- 01
Multiple security breaches had hit brand image and financial stability.
- 02
No solution or standard operating procedures to monitor infrastructure continuously and remediate anomalies quickly.
- 03
Stringent governance standards and industry certifications had to be met and maintained.
Branta's approach
How we worked back from the outcome
A pharmaceutical-grade security framework: IronCloud monitoring, SOPs, a 24×7 SOC and ongoing VAPT aligned to ISO 27001.
Implemented the IronCloud platform for continuous monitoring of security events and compliance with ISO 27001.
Streamlined processes with IT stakeholders and developed the standard operating procedures that were missing.
Established a 24×7 security operations centre to monitor, detect and respond to events in real time.
Conducted vulnerability assessment and penetration testing, remediating vulnerabilities on critical systems, with periodic reviews for continuous improvement.
