A major player in the European financial sector partnered with Intarmour to gain unified visibility and control over its expanding multi-cloud infrastructure. The challenge: improving risk detection, prioritization, and remediation—without disrupting critical operations or compliance flows. The result: a fully integrated Wiz deployment, faster incident response, and a streamlined cloud governance model.
The Mission
The client—one of Europe’s leading digital payment providers—was undergoing a large-scale cloud modernization initiative. Their cloud environments had grown organically across business units, regions, and service providers. But as their attack surface expanded, so did the risks: misconfigurations, excessive privileges, shadow assets, and blind spots in posture management.
Security teams were flooded with alerts they couldn’t prioritize. Compliance audits involved time-consuming evidence collection. Cloud security had become a fragmented, reactive process.
The leadership needed a unified risk management layer that would scale with their cloud adoption—without disrupting developer velocity or introducing unnecessary friction for product teams.
The Approach
From overload to clarity, with security embedded into context
Intarmour’s mission was to help the client turn visibility into action. The engagement started with a joint discovery and architecture review focused on:
Cloud workload inventory across AWS, Azure, and GCP
Detection of toxic combinations (e.g., public S3 + privileged roles)
Prioritization logic for CVEs, misconfigurations, and secrets
Mapping of risks to compliance mandates (ISO 27001, PCI-DSS)
From there, a rollout strategy was defined: Wiz would become the control plane for cloud security, integrated into workflows, escalation paths, and governance dashboards.
The key: no rip-and-replace, but orchestration. We aligned tools, people, and processes.
The Implementation
Deploying Wiz across fragmented environments—without disruption
Over a 10-week engagement, Intarmour led the end-to-end Wiz integration across cloud accounts, landing zones, and CI/CD systems:
Unified workload visibility was established across 1500+ cloud assets
Contextual risk scoring enabled security teams to triage based on exploitability and blast radius
IAM analysis flagged overprivileged roles and unnecessary trust relationships
CI/CD hooks were added to surface misconfigurations during deployment, not after
Wiz API integration fed data into the client’s SIEM and SOAR platforms
Crucially, we delivered enablement sessions for both security engineers and platform teams, ensuring Wiz was not just installed, but actively used to drive decisions.
Compliance Layer
Reducing audit friction with real-time, mapped controls
The organization was already operating under strict regulatory expectations—from GDPR to internal governance committees. But documentation had become disconnected from real-world posture.
Wiz provided a centralized, live source of truth for:
Asset inventory aligned with data classification and retention rules
Policy violations linked to control frameworks like ISO 27001 and PCI-DSS
Audit trails for remediation, exception handling, and response workflows
Automated evidence generation, reducing the manual burden on compliance teams
With Wiz in place, security reporting became a real-time dashboard, not a last-minute crisis before audits.
The Outcome
Proactive cloud security that scales with the business
In less than three months, the client had:
Deployed Wiz across three major cloud providers and 30+ business units
Reduced mean time to triage for critical risks from days to under 4 hours
Cut manual compliance reporting efforts by over 60%
Gained board-level confidence in their cloud governance maturity
Today, cloud risk is no longer scattered across teams and tools. It’s visible, actionable, and embedded into daily operations. Wiz, with Intarmour’s expertise, became a strategic enabler of secure cloud growth.
