Financial Services organizations are now more concerned than ever about risk and compliance. Both the Fed and the European commission require financial institutes to comply with a list of standards to ensure resiliency of the software systems. A mix of legacy and modern technologies in large financial organizations make compliance a herculean task. However, with CAST – the MRI for software, compliance could be achieved with very little manual effort. CAST Software Intelligence saves significant time spent by architects and software leaders understanding the existing systems and their interdependencies.
The CAST ‘MRI for Software’ blueprints the complex enterprise application landscape and identifies all interdependencies. The analysis engine dives deep into individual applications to perform structural analysis. While the inter- application analysis ensures compliance to business continuity and disaster recovery prerequisites, the intra- application analysis takes care of compliance to data safety standards such as PCI -DSS.
Map dependencies across the enterprise technology landscape.
AUTOMATICALLY.
CAST creates a complete map of the bank’s application portfolio including app to app dependencies and how they are connected. Insights on the dependencies between applications identify the failover risks and the potential domino effect impacting the resiliency of the entire system.
Reduce data compliance risk with GDPR, CCPA and other data safety regulations.
Analyze applications for specific keyword patterns and configure custom scoring to prioritize the most sensitive data first. Start at the portfolio level and drill down to specific apps to identify the specific sensitive data patterns that need to be investigated further for compliance.
Ensure resiliency of individual applications.
BASED ON FACTS.
At the application level, a review of resiliency best practices such as the error and exception handling across transactions and multiple technology layers provides insight on the robustness of a given system and identifies the weak links, if any.
