Sokn Engineering had built something worth protecting. As a FinTech startup navigating SEC, FTC, and CFTC cybersecurity requirements, the team needed to secure their intellectual property and infrastructure while establishing a compliance foundation that wouldn't slow them down.
Starting with the business
Adversis started where effective security programs begin: understanding the business. Through initial consultation, the team developed a realistic threat model that considered Sokn's critical operations, technical architecture, and the specific risks facing a company in their space. This assessment went beyond regulatory checkboxes to examine business, technical, and procedural exposures.
The technical review covered the full environment: workstations, network and WiFi configurations, cloud infrastructure, publicly accessible services, and potential credential exposures. Adversis also reviewed business processes to ensure appropriate controls were in place and evaluated offline procedures for potential disruptions.
Translation, not just assessment
What made the engagement effective wasn't just the assessment. It was the translation. Through multiple conversations, Adversis converted technical findings into guidance the team could actually use. Sokn Engineering received tailored cyber policy documentation, clear direction on technology usage, and a framework for evaluating risk questions as they arise.
The outcome: Sokn's leadership and staff now operate with confidence in their security posture and compliance standing. They have validated controls, clear response plans, and substantially reduced liability exposure.
Adversis took the time to get to know our needs and went above and beyond when they assisted us with a complex problem. The reports that were provided to us are very easy to understand and thorough.
