INDUSTRIES / FINANCIAL SERVICES
When payments stall and a third party is in the blast radius, you need a timeline that holds up to scrutiny
Banks, insurers, payment firms and fintechs run on chains of ICT providers, and supervisors increasingly expect you to prove you can manage incidents across that chain. In the EU, DORA puts ICT incident management, third-party risk and resilience testing on the board's agenda; GDPR adds its own breach clock whenever customer data is involved. Incident Lake gives your responders one timestamped record from first alert to remediation, with every material call made by a person.
Where incident response gets hard in financial services
Your outage is often a provider's outage
Core banking, card processing, cloud, a BaaS partner. Scoping impact means knowing which critical functions depend on which provider, not just which host is red.
Several clocks start at once
A data-related incident can trigger GDPR notification alongside supervisory incident reporting. Someone has to track each deadline while the technical response is still underway.
Resilience testing becomes a checkbox
Scenario design and write-ups are heavy enough that exercises slip to once a year, and the findings rarely make it into the backlog.
Exercise against financial-services scenarios, regularly
The scenario catalog includes financial services, and scenarios are designed with reference to frameworks such as EU DORA, ISO 22301 and NIST SP 800-84. You can also have an LLM generate a scenario from your own service map and approve it before use. Debriefs are drafted automatically and risks flow into problem management. Running drills does not by itself demonstrate compliance with any framework.
Start the GDPR clock from the moment of awareness
Record when you became aware of a personal data breach and Incident Lake calculates the GDPR notification deadline. Draft the notification from chat; a person decides whether to notify and submits it. DORA-specific report templates and deadline tracking are not product features today, but the timestamped incident record gives your team the facts those reports require.
See third-party exposure the moment a provider is breached
Model configuration items, business functions and suppliers in the built-in CMDB. When a provider discloses a breach, the impact map shows which of your services and functions depend on it, and site tags surface the regulations that may apply in each jurisdiction.
Keep incident data inside your perimeter
If incident data cannot go to an external LLM, Self-Hosted runs with a self-hosted model. Audit logs, SAML SSO, IP restrictions and per-feature permissions are covered on the security page.
