Bring Your Complex Challenges to Us
Challenge
Increasing reliance on cloud-based infrastructure exposed fundamental gaps in CBN’s legacy security model:
- Hardware-centric security architecture insufficiently agile to defend against modern, cloud-targeting threat vectors
- Escalating cybersecurity threats specifically targeting financial regulators and sovereign institutions
- Risk of sensitive financial and monetary-policy data exposure during cloud migration
- Compliance obligations under stringent regulatory standards requiring demonstrable, auditable controls
- Limited visibility and unified control across distributed cloud environments
Solution
Heirs Technologies recommended and implemented Check Point CloudGuard SaaS as CBN’s cloud-native security foundation, validated through detailed security audits and scenario simulations:
- Advanced Firewall & Perimeter Defence: robust access control blocking unauthorised traffic and known threat signatures across cloud entry points
- Data Loss Prevention (DLP): policy-enforced protection against sensitive data leakage and unauthorised dissemination
- Intrusion Prevention System (IPS): real-time monitoring and active mitigation of advanced persistent threats
- Antivirus & Antimalware: continuously updated threat definitions with behavioural detection for evolving malware strains
- Real-Time Threat Intelligence: proactive identification and contextualised response to emerging threat campaigns
- Cloud Network Security & Visibility: unified console providing centralised oversight and policy enforcement across all cloud environments
Impact
- Strengthened Security Posture: comprehensive, multi-layered defence significantly reduced vulnerability exposure and improved threat detection and response capability
- Regulatory Compliance Achievement: solution aligned to applicable financial regulatory standards, with clear audit visibility and automated compliance reporting
- Total Cost of Ownership Reduction: transition from hardware-based to cloud-native security eliminated capital refresh cycles and associated operational overhead
- Operational Agility: rapid threat response with minimal disruption to CBN’s ongoing regulatory and monetary operations
- Internal Confidence in Cloud Operations: clear visibility and unified control improved IT and executive confidence in the security of cloud-resident workloads
Challenge
Manual, fragmented workflows were creating measurable risk and inefficiency across NBC’s operations:
- Email-driven approval chains producing long cycle times, poor traceability, and compliance gaps
- Spreadsheet sprawl across functions creating version conflicts and data-quality risk
- Limited mobile capture for plant and field teams, causing lag between operational events and records
- Minimal analytics visibility, making it difficult to identify process bottlenecks and exceptions in real time
- Engineering resource constraints preventing bespoke application development at the pace the business required
Solution
Heirs Technologies deployed a Power Platform CoE combining rapid app delivery with enterprise-grade governance and enablement:
- Canvas & Model-Driven Power Apps: digitised high-volume workflows including asset/IT requests, incident and quality logs, CapEx/OpEx approvals, and vendor onboarding across Finance, HR, Supply Chain, and Sales
- Power Automate Flows: SLA-based routing, multi-level escalations, and automated notifications replacing manual email chains
- Microsoft Dataverse: trusted data layer with role-based access controls, immutable audit logs, and ALM-managed solution deployments
- Power BI Dashboards: cycle time, backlog age, exception rates, and SLA performance tracked in real time per function and site
- Security & Governance: Azure AD SSO, DLP policies, connector whitelisting, and Dev/Test/Prod environment strategy
- Citizen-Developer Enablement: reusable components, patterns, guardrails, training, and playbooks enabling NBC’s own teams to build sustainably
Impact
- Approval Cycle Time Reduction: common workflows tracked against SLA timers showing measurable reduction in request-to-decision elapsed time
- Error and Rework Reduction: mandatory field validation and single-source records eliminating the version-conflict and data-quality issues of spreadsheet-based processes
- Audit-Ready Compliance Logs: immutable, timestamped records in Dataverse replacing email threads as the system of record for regulated workflows
- Real-Time Operational Visibility: management dashboards surfacing bottlenecks, SLA breaches, and exceptions across plants and functions
- Sustainable Internal Capability: NBC teams trained to build, govern, and extend their own solutions, reducing long-term dependence on external development
Challenge
Mounting transactional workloads and a rapidly expanding digital banking footprint exposed critical limitations in UBA’s existing infrastructure:
- Processing bottlenecks causing inconsistent transaction speeds, directly impacting customer-facing service quality
- Inability to scale existing infrastructure at the pace demanded by customer growth and digital banking expansion
