The Challenge

Meridian Finance faced increasing regulatory pressure under APRA CPS 234 and had experienced two significant security incidents in 18 months. Legacy perimeter-based security provided inadequate protection for their distributed remote workforce.

02

The Solution

GeekeTech implemented a comprehensive zero-trust security architecture: Entra ID with Conditional Access, Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) across all devices, privileged access management, SIEM deployment, and a 24/7 security operations monitoring service.

03

The Results

Full APRA CPS 234 compliance achieved within 6 months. Zero security incidents in the 12 months following implementation. Security audit scores improved from 43% to 96%. Board risk reporting transformed from manual quarterly to automated real-time dashboards.
