Case studies

Outcomes, measured

We measure success by risk reduced and resilience gained — not slideware. Here's the before-and-after from representative engagements.

Telecom

Standing up a 24×7 SOC for a national carrier

Challenge. Alert fatigue, low detection coverage, and slow response left the operator exposed across its 5G and IT estate.

Approach. We benchmarked SOC maturity against MITRE ATT&CK, redesigned the operating model, tuned detections, and introduced SOAR automation.

CogniSec turned our SOC from noise into signal.

ISO 27001 certification for a financial services firm

Challenge. The firm needed certification to win enterprise clients but had fragmented controls and significant evidence gaps.

Approach. We ran a gap assessment, built the ISMS and Statement of Applicability, and supported both certification audit stages.

Certified on the first attempt with zero major findings.

OT visibility and segmentation for a utility

Challenge. Converging IT/OT networks with unmanaged legacy assets created blind spots across critical substations.

Approach. Passive asset discovery, IEC 62443 zoning, and OT-aware monitoring delivered full visibility without disrupting operations.
