THE PROBLEM

You handle millions in transactions daily. One breach costs $6.08 million on average in the financial services sector. Regulators demand proof you’re protecting customer data. Cyber insurance is nearly impossible to get – over 40% of claims get denied for missing documentation.

The pressure is especially acute for digital lending platforms and FinTech organizations operating under multiple regulatory frameworks simultaneously. Among US digital lending platforms, 93% admit to having problems meeting regulatory requirements. In 2023, NYDFS fined BitFlyer USA $1.2 million specifically for failing to perform adequate risk assessments – a FinTech with a staff profile consistent with the organizations we serve.

THE PROBLEM

Healthcare breaches cost $10.22 million on average – more than any other industry, for 14 years running. HIPAA fines have increased 340% in the last year. Detection takes 279 days on average – the longest of any industry.

Patient data leaks destroy trust and create legal exposure that extends well beyond the breach event itself. Clinical organizations face the additional challenge of securing medical devices and cloud-based care management platforms where patient data moves through every step of the clinical path.

WHAT WE DO

SARA Catalyst identifies threats with AI-driven analysis to reduce false alarms, enabling your team to prioritize indicators of compromise that relate directly to your compliance objectives. SARA scans your environment and shows exactly where your cyber risk gaps are, detecting zero-day and signature-less infections before breach.

Every finding maps directly to HIPAA, HITECH, and FDA regulatory requirements – not just a threat list, but a governance-ready compliance picture.

THE PROBLEM

Manufacturing is the number one target for ransomware – 87% increase in attacks last year. One hour of downtime costs $125,000. Seventy-five percent of OT attacks begin as IT breaches. Your IT team is already stretched thin managing production systems.

The convergence of IT and operational technology environments creates a uniquely dangerous attack surface where a network vulnerability can shut down physical production lines.

WHAT WE DO

We connect your technical resources to your compliance requirements. When we find gaps, we show you exactly what to fix first – no guessing. SARA gets you ISO 27001 and NIST CSF ready with your current technology investment, supported by Subject Matter Experts who provide cost efficiency and operational effectiveness.

THE PROBLEM

You store thousands of guest records and credit cards. PCI DSS compliance is mandatory. One breach like MGM’s costs $30 million and destroys your reputation. Eighty-nine percent of hospitality businesses that get breached get breached again. Insurance companies will not cover you unless you prove continuous security.

WHAT WE DO

We monitor every device, reservation system, and guest Wi-Fi network. The Unity Risk Indicator shows your cyber risk status in real time, not once a year. SARA finds optimal resolution paths that balance technical and compliance priorities, providing data analysis as risk profiles for executives and supply chain partners to make decisions based on their roles and responsibilities.

THE PROBLEM

Student records, parent data, financial aid information, research data, and staff payroll – all attractive targets. Budget cuts mean your IT team is already doing three jobs. Data breaches trigger mandatory reporting and legal exposure.

Educational institutions are increasingly targeted because they hold large volumes of personally identifiable information while typically operating with minimal dedicated security staff.

WHAT WE DO

We secure your network without requiring additional specialized security staff. The Unity Risk Indicator gives administrators a holistic dashboard that transforms cybersecurity into a data analytics journey of cyber risk management – visual, understandable, and actionable.
