The High Cost of Weak Access

The financial services industry is a prime target for cybercriminals, making regulatory compliance both essential and challenging. With evolving threats and ever-changing regulations, financial institutions—from banks to investment firms—must constantly adapt to stay secure. Navigating overlapping security standards adds to the complexity, increasing the burden on security teams.

StrongDM simplifies compliance by providing centralized, fine-grained access control, ensuring only the right people have access to critical systems while reducing risk and operational friction.

Centralized and Fine-Grained Access Control

StrongDM uses AWS’ Cedar Policy Language to power our Strong Policy Engine. It enables the definition of detailed access policies that specify who can access which resources (and under what conditions). This centralized approach ensures consistent enforcement of access controls across all systems, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and aiding in compliance with regulations such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

Continuous Authorization and Real-Time Monitoring

StrongDM performs continuous, real-time evaluation of every user action against established policies. By decoupling the authorization engine from business logic, the Cedar Policy Engine allows for continuous, real-time evaluation of user actions against established policies. This ensures that any changes in user behavior or context are immediately assessed, maintaining compliance with evolving regulatory requirements and internal security policies. Our customers like Axos and SoFi experience tamper-proof audit records, making it easy to demonstrate compliance with regulations like PCI DSS, DORA, GDPR, SOX, and FFIEC without manual effort.

Enhanced Auditability and Reporting

StrongDM provides comprehensive logging of all access requests and decisions. This detailed audit trail is invaluable during compliance audits, providing clear evidence of adherence to regulatory standards and simplifying the reporting process. We also provide automated audit trails and session recording to simplify regulatory reporting.

Flexibility Through Policy-as-Code

Implementing policies-as-code with Cedar allows financial institutions to quickly adapt to regulatory changes by updating policies programmatically. This flexibility ensures that compliance measures remain up-to-date without extensive overhauls, promoting operational efficiency.
