Banks and financial services providers generate thousands of security-related data points every day. However, this information is scattered across numerous tools, platforms and reports, turning cyber risk management into a manual process of data collection and cleansing.
Typical challenges from a CISO and compliance perspective:
Data is scattered across numerous security and IT systems
Manual exports, consolidation and data cleansing take up time and resources
KPIs are inconsistent, not comparable and difficult to replicate
Trends and developments cannot be reliably assessed
Decisions are based on reports as at a specific date rather than on a consistent overall picture
The result is a fragmented picture of the risks, with no clear indication as to whether the security situation is actually improving or deteriorating.
When key performance indicators are manually collated from different sources, gaps inevitably arise: target-actual comparisons are unreliable, evidence is missing and trends remain unclear. In highly regulated financial environments, this leads to additional work, uncertainty during audits and limited control.
At the same time, inconsistent methods and a lack of comparative data make it difficult to prioritise risks. Regulatory requirements such as DORA or ISO 27001 demand clearly defined, traceable and consistently calculated KPIs. Without a centralised, standardised KPI framework, strategic decisions are based on assumptions – not on reliable facts.
Finally, a dashboard that shows what really matters – with pre-configured KPIs based on best practice. This saves a huge amount of time and provides immediate clarity.
SEQIFY provides a centralised, audit-compliant set of KPIs – automatically calculated, clearly defined and always up to date.
SEQIFY automatically consolidates all relevant IT and security data into a single, auditable set of KPIs – without the need for manual calculations and available in real time at all times.
All key performance indicators have defined target values. Any deviations are immediately apparent, along with clear definitions, measurement methods and data sources – ideal for audits and reviews.
Automatically generated trend charts show whether measures are having an effect, risks are decreasing or new areas for action are emerging – providing a solid basis for management and prioritisation.
